HEADS WILL ROLL

Will be a short 60 second piece of animation. Character animation will be entirely 2D and backgrounds will be 3D ((HAHAHAHA maybe.)) But not horrible rubbery looking 3D, we're hoping to make the 3D look 2D. SAY WHAT? Think cel-shaded/illustrative type liiiike...Borderlands, or Sly Cooper. And what are we cramming into 60 seconds? Here's a flowery synopsis.

FLOWERY SYNOPSIS;


Mooch R. Nome*, a young teenage Opaque* of the OPA|CITY comes across a chance discovery while out walking his faithful pooch (pooch and mooch ha!) Domino in the Grey District Park. While playing fetch with his dog, Domino brings back a pair of nondescript glasses. Curious, Mooch puts them on after briefly inspecting them. Suddenly, he is overwhelmed by spirals of colour. Having never ever ever ever ever laid eyes on colour before, he goes a little insane. The colour leads him to a fountain at the heart of the Park, where he proceeds to step up, unzip, and pee as an act of insanity and rebellion against the GREYSCALE regime.


This antisocial behaviour draws the immediate attention of a nearby Grim* who slaps Mooch over the back of the head, just as he is turning around and preparing to skip off into the sunset. This impact causes our dashing hero to stumble, which in turn causes the glasses to slip and fall off of his head, shattering on the ground before him.


End. Credits appear on Mooch's mugshots.


*Mooch R. Nome - an anagram of monochrome. For that added 'ahhhhh,' moment.
*Opaque - a civilian of OPA|CITY
*Grim - police/enforcer of GREYSCALE
*Greyscale - the means by which everything is measured

Hope that was sufficiently flowery for you.

CHARACTER DESIGN - Mooch (Lauren Knight) Domino (Pamela Graham)

 Mooch R. Nome

Turnaround sheet

 Mooch is designed to look like a little shit. The mohawk came from my need to have an interesting profile, and because I thought it made him look sufficiently bastard-ish. The crazed jagged teeth thing was always a part of his character, even in the early design. Originally, he was a little girl. =D But then, he became a little boy. And then, he became a teenager. But he's only 15, so it's still wrong for you to enjoy his pee scene like thaaaat.

Inspiration for his design comes largely from Jamie Hewlett (tank girl/the gorillaz), and that's just the way i draw. The best thing about his design comes in the expressions he can make;

That's a 'crazyboypeeinginthefountain,' face. =D
