Here art some visual reference/influence showing the art direction we are going for and also showing what our 'Forgotten or Failed Superheroes' are going to look like.
Hi. Remember that this project is a less about art direction and more about performance. I didn't get to speak to your group the other day - why was that? - in those discussions I spoke about the importance of knowing your character's personality as a way to access comedy. You have two characters that you can dress up slightly which means your superhero is going to found in the performance and a bit of dress up not a full design of a character. I'd prefer that you talked about that aspect of the project at this stage not art direction. You should be directing performance by a personality (internal) not designing a character (external).
Hi Alan, thank you very much for your advice. We will be focusing more on the internal aspects of our characters and will make comic panels with more informations and details. :)
First thumbnails to help us figure out details and the best scene set up for each scene. 1-2 Batman Scene, 3-4 Flash Scene, 5-6 Ending Scene 1-3 Batman Scene, 4-6 Superman Scene
We are finishing up scenes set up and textures so that we can move on animating them. We are planning on connecting the title sequence with Flash scene which will be the first one. Here is a design for title sequence poster which will be on a wall mixed between the rest of the posters on a wall behind Flash. Designs for bushes we'll use in a final scene and place them behind the bench with superheroes. Setting up the superman and final scene: Progress 01 Progress 02 Perspective view of the final scene layout. Render Test of final scene Render Test of Superman scene
We are nearly finished animating the Hulk scene as well. Top view shots of this scene are even initialy rendered out as we couldn't properly see the traffic in playblasts because the cars are only StandIns. Hulk scene only needs to get done the shot of Bruce Banner transformed into Hulk and then we're ready to render this scene out as well. Front view animation progress. Top view of Bruce Banner tranaforming into the Hulk. Top view of Bruce Banner transformation render. Opening top view scene of Hulk scene.
