Preprod blog ... say that 5 times fast.

Aight ... Pre production ...



Rule numero uno - No cutting corners. As I found out, it could lose you your job, and make your future life, in general, hell.



Got teach'd the pre production phases (Breakin down the script, production design, storyboarding/animatics, layout).

Also the "mechanical functions" of preprod art:


  • Context

  • Sense of place

  • Sense of time

  • Setting

And emotional qualities, being mood and atmosphere ... which aren't the same thing.


We checked out a couple of clips - one being an asian dude sketching out a pretty sweet alien ... thing ... and another was a guy doing up the story "beats" (think train tracks, yo) for a hilarious "Little Mermaid" meets "Star Trek" kinda story. I really liked watching that one. Pretty cool stuff.


I will now attempt to do up some observational drawings.
