Hello?

2007-11-04T21:21:00.000Z

Okay ive gathered loads of reference material for the graffiti and enviroments.... and got hold of an old freind who'll be willing to work on graffiti artwork in any specific style were looking for. Sam mentioned keeping the graffiti rather minimal (as opposed to the alleyways COVERED in graf which were all familiar with) Im still struggling for a decent idea for the monster... but i think thatll fall into place when weve all gone over the new storyboards and know whats required of him/her/it

As we discussed the other day an evening/twilight setting would create a great atmoshpere... (our protagonist could have come out of work, had a couple of drinks and is on his way home...)
This will mean soft natural lighting combined with streetlights.... so we can juxtapose a busy well-lit street with a secluded; harshly lit alley. Ive attached the image which inspired this idea, as well as one of the tests ive done of this setup and i think youll agree theyre rather buff =)

Didn't like it

I was just pointing out how hard it would be to do a real person interacting with cgi.

Eh?

Mix of Live action and 3d.

Visuals.....

Like it =)

First priority i think should be deciding if were going with live action with anim composited over or modelling things from the bottom up..... i'd say live action since the film revolves around art coming to life... itd have more of an impact. The problem being that compositing over raw video (especially with moving shots) is a hell of a task..

itd be worth looking into but maybe still shots for the environments or some kind of rotoscoping to makes things abit less real... id say we should definatly aim to use real people for the characters

The script Sams put forward sound great.... my only argument would be the pissing patterns on th wall thing... abit =s

Mike recommended looking at 'Tekkon Kimkreet'--->

for good imagery of dirty alleys.... i cant find it online anywhere but it might be worth a look.

I say we all give it some thought and gather source material for the enviroments+graffiti... the one in the pitch actually seemed ideal but we should probably concept it ourselves..
could we all make it in wednesday to meet up and see what emerges?

The scene starts in a busy high street.
Steven is in a rush, he is in search of a toilet but there’s none in sight. If he doesn’t find a place to ease himself, he is in danger of wetting himself in public. Steven bursts past people walking on the curb.

Steven knocks into a pedestrian just as they were about to bite into a sandwich, knocking it out their hands. He spots an alleyway and he runs into it. He is about to let loose on the wall when he is suddenly interrupted by an old lady walking by who notices what he is about to do.

Knowing he has been spotted he acts like he is just taking in the scenery. The old lady shakes her head in disbelieve and carries on her way. Steven decides to go deeper into the alley where he would not be spotted. He finds the perfect place and lets loose. Overcome by relief he notices he is weeding on piece of graffiti artwork and decides to make pretty patterns on it.

With his bladder now empty he begins to make his way out when suddenly he is hit on the head with an empty bear can. Steven looks up to see where it could have possibly come from. He turns around and to his shock he seas the very same art on the wall had come to life.

The monster begins to chase him down the alleyway. Steven runs in fear not knowing whether he was imagining what he just saw, but he wasn’t going to stick around to find out. The monster jumps in front of him blocking Steven’s exit. Steven is beaten and thrown about. The monster then administrates its own revenge and wee’s on Steven.

Steven is thrown out of the alleyway, where he makes a quick getaway.

The scene end with someone else is needing to use the toilet. The person then runs into the same alleyway.
