Alphabet Patch - transitions

I am working on a third year project called Alphabet Patch. My role mostly consists of script writing and story development, however here are some rough transition designs I have done

I then made them digital using Photoshop



After receiving some feedback I then made the final version which imitate the art style of the rest of Alphabet Patch.

The Rush Job

We were given a task to come up with an idea for a Christmas advert (like the John Lewis ones) for a fictitious site similar to amazon. We worked in groups with members from the film&TV course.
We had four days to create an animatic with sound. This is the final video.

My role was making the frames for the section that takes place in Narnia.
I started by drawing on paper.

I then went over them in Photoshop, I also added a few extra frames in places that seemed to jump too quickly.

Death by Fruit - backgrounds

Here is a little 'logo' I made to represent 'Death by Fruit' in its new style.

Here are some backgrounds made to look like classical Greek vases.

Land

Mount Olympus

Dome - Outside

Dome - Inside

The Underworld

Future

I used a rough textured brush on Photoshop to try to emulate the rough texture of a vase. I wanted to stray away from it looking too smooth or digital.

I had difficulty with the borders at first because I made them too thin, trying to make sure they didn't obscure from the characters. However, there weren't visible enough. So I made the borders thicker and more obvious and I feel they work well without deterring from the scene. 

Death by Fruit - characters

For my third year project I changed the title from 'Hades' to 'Death by Fruit', because I felt that this title was catchier and better resembled the story.

I changed the style, making it more unique looking. The characters are made to look like chalk by using a rough brush of bright colour over a dark silhouette. Each character has a different colour so that they can be easily identified and distinguished.

I decided to cut Demeter and Poseidon from the script to keep it more concise and revolve around the main characters; Zeus, Hades and Persephone.

Hades

For my third year idea I am doing a re-telling of the Greek mythology of Hades and Persephone where Hades isn't bad and instead Persephone goes with him willingly to The Underworld.

My current character designs are:
Hades

Persephone

Zeus

Demeter

Poseidon

Background designs:

On land farms and huts are being destroyed by Persephone who cannot control her springtime powers. 

 Because of this Zeus is attacking so Hades and Persephone are hiding in a dome of vines

Which looks like this on the inside

Mount Olympus is cloudy and Zeus' large throne is the central point. 

The Underworld is a peaceful cave-like place lit with multi-coloured light.

Hades' staff                                                                               Poseidon's staff

                                                   

Hades uses his staff to sort souls into good and bad parts of The Underworld.

 Pomegranate that Hades manifests out of smoke.

He uses the seasons to explain that by eating the fruit she will live in The Underworld for half of the year and on land for the other half.
