Scene 06 - Preview

Scene 06 is only 29 frames, so it seemed like a good one to start off with. It's the one where Blu turns is head as he's scanning the club for potential single ladies. I'm starting small so I can get back into the groove of paper animation, as well as figuring out my pipeline.

Here's a color test of what a final colored frame will look like:



Here's my line test for the same scene:



It may seem quick as is for what is really just a casual "lookin' around" kind of glance, but it works well with the musical beats and rest of the film, you'll see.

Club Studies

Layout has always been a weak point for me, so in the last couple of day I've been trying to work out the look and feel of the club. I have a good idea in my mind, but it's proving difficult to execute. Also, I don't want the entire movie to be a color saturation fest, so I want to get a little less neon in the club scenes.






I feel like maybe I should perhaps be minimalist and work more with shapes.

Some Beat Boards

These were also on my regular blog. They are some beat boards/color studies for the dream sequence.

Blu & Rose on an alien world, blowing bubbles.



Blue and Pink colored squirrels chassing each other up a tree.



The tree blooms into hundres of pixel-like flowers.
