Composition

Here's a site with 23 pages of tips on composing landscapes. Pretty handy.
Don't be a dick, point and click.

Bell choir?

Still just working on getting some nice angles for this storyboard/animatic. It's kinda hard matching angles/perspective, with mood, dialogue, story progression etc, and still keeping each shot ... unique, in some way. Or not unique, just ... not boring.

Here are links to some animatics.
Knuckle duster
When You're evil
Awesome fight scene called Joust

Also, I thought of an awesome name for a band: Optimus Chime and the Bell Boys.
I'd play in that band.

Architecture

I was researching architecture from the colorado area (where this story is set), and it seems they tend to use wood as the main material, with brick and stone as features/trim, and have high, sloping roofs.

Here are some shots I found online.

New assignment

So right now we're working on an animatic for a script Mark gave us. Should be a pretty fun process.
I'm getting sick of reading the script, but so far I've done some character design for the 3 characters in the scene, a height comparison chart, and a couple of rough panels of camera angles that I might like to try.
I'll be posting images when I can.
