Hi,

Just thought I might post a little something for those who are waiting... this is a workbook layout for one of the shots.

Our film will be available pretty soon now!

Haha sorry guys!

Hello readers, whoever you are! Sorry to keep y'all waiting for the film to be posted online and all, but I have some bad news, kinda. We're still trying to get our film entered in some festivals, and unfortunately that means that we can't put it online before/if it's screened at a festival. I'll see if I can upload some sort of teaser trailer in the near future. Sorry!

Hollywood style, Baby!

So yeah, the film is finished! After countless passionate hours of grueling work, we did it, the Monster Drawing came to life. The film will be posted here within the next week, until then hype it up (does anyone even check this blog anyway?), tell your friends about it, and check out our totally authentic blockbuster poster!

Slightly altered BG, different monster treatment. Sorry if it's repetitive.

Here's an other color concept and an idea on how to handle the monster's treatment.

Here are some previous designs I wanted to post. The first layout is a marker rendering of a french 1950s shool. Followed by a colour gouache version. Then, random concepts for the backpack monster and teacher.

Lee!

Just some variations on Lee (and one on Francine). I gave him a new fashion accessory on the bottom pic, it's all backstory, yeah.

Totally concept XD

Style exploration

This is a quick try at finding a look for our film. It was done a couple weeks ago and I'm not sure if it still fits with our story, but I kinda like it, so here it is. We're currently deep in story work and getting closer to having a nice and solid storyboard. I can't wait to get the leicca reel done, we'll be making the first rough version or it this week-end, should be pretty interesting. The whole 9 of us (and guest actor Andre Suh, haha) had a voice recording session on Wednesday, it was really cool! Anyway, enjoy this for now!

Introduction

2006-10-26T20:42:00.000-07:00

Hello world! This blog is set up to document the progress of Studio REDRUM's group film project. The film in question shall be named The Monster Backpack for now, but as story work is in intense development these days, the title is likely to change in the near future.

As a formal introduction, it seems necessary to say that we're all third year students of the BAA (Animation) program at Sheridan College, Ontario. No one in the team's from Ontario though... So yeah, we've got four French Canadian dudes (Alex, Guillaume, Jordan, Mario), four Asian dudettes (Agnes, May, Mujia, Seulki), and one Asian dude (Peter, you outrageous standout) on board.

Look forward to some eyecandy in the very near future, it's gonna be fun, Oh Yeah!
