todays update is a concept page for the game that our main character plays. I have not decided what the scene will look like, its been on my mind for a long time, I haven’t started the actual animation yet, I just been playing around with what it could look like and why. Obviously I want to convey all the right emotions (repetitive and time consuming being two of the big ones) but I’m currently chipping away at some other scenes.
concepts for the game FRANK plays
todays update is a simple color study on the city that FRANK lives in. A few different city concepts with some different mood exploration.
todays update is some more MOOD BOARDS!
below is a different page of some old mood boards from a long while back. these being old i will not be using the colors you see here. the film palette has evolved into something different, but i do love the look of these

i am terrible with setting deadlines, there i said it. i am pretty good at meeting them when they are set by a 3rd party but if i set it, i struggle with meeting them. this applies to my film. i have been working on it daily for a little over 3 years now. that's production work, pre production took longer then that but thats for other reasons.
well im ready to finish this film and set it free in the world, in order to do that i have to set a deadline and i have to work my ass off and try my best to meet the deadline. last week i was going through my scenes thinking it would take me about another year to finish it, i had given myself 2 week to finish every scene. thats 25 scenes 2 weeks per scene, equals a bit over a year.
to my surprise when i actually started doing the final pass, i was knocking out scenes very quicky. i think i did 2 scenes in a night, needless to say i was elated! this has shorten my production time by more then half. my new goal and deadline for final animation is may or june, definitely before summer.
im super happy about this, this has given my a new motivation. i am aiming to premiere FRANK before the end of the year, yay!!
the night i started doing the final pass
one week progress, as you can see the green ones are complete and ready for color
a model sheet for the game boy, this is the latest design and i think the final design
