This is the Thesis Pitch I'm planning to make into a short movie during senior year. It's about a female dragonfly who just wants to be in love, but the guy she choses gets a little distracted so she has to save him. Here's a collection of work I've done for the project so far.
The overall lighting effect will be like these images. I took reference from Gnomeo and Juliet, Princess and the frog, and Lady and the Tramp.
Some character design and environment design reference.
Some inspirational images that I gathered.
Female character silhouette exploration
More exploration
Male silhouette exploration
Rough male and female designs.
Male character breakdown with references
Female breakdown with references
Semi-Final character designs. I ended up changing these designs later because I wasn't really satisfied with where they ended up.
Some bug zapper designs
A semi-final bug zapper design. I'll probably revisit this to make it better.
Rough environment design.
Another rough environment design.
Color studies of the mood.
Beginning
Middle
End
These last three images are the parts of the story I created a color study for. They give the overall mood of the moment.
This is what I decided to change the Character designs to. I'm happier with the feel of these characters. I still have to render them, so that will be done soon.
A rough turnaround of the male dragonfly. It will be finalized soon. So will the female's turnaround.
