Pre-Production-01: Color Tests

This semester really is going to be a test of my time management, but complaining is probably not what the people want to hear. UPDATES:

After a couple of redraws to the storyboards and cuts for time ( 5 minute run initially = insanity), I've finally arrived at an animatic that I can work with. Still going to be somewhat dark, but this time around I'm hoping to get a couple chuckles in the mix. Above and below are some color tests for the set and puppet. It will of course look different because I'm going to bring it into the stop motion world, but this is what I'll be aiming for:

For our next production class we have to show up with already completed shot sheets and a schedule for completion, so this will without a doubt be an animation weekend. I'm also going to take my first attempt at the actual set creation with the help of one Mr. Lake. Tomorrow I'll post up some of the pictures of my very crude mock-up for scale purposes. I've also started on the rigging for the character so photos of that shouldn't be too far away. For now I need to get some sleep. There really is so little time to rest these days...
