"HEROES"
This project was spear headed by Simon Wilches. He asked me to be part of HULU's ID line up. Excited to direct again and share in this moment, I collaborated with Julius Campbell, once again, to give me his fresh take on my character sketches from the style frame.
My process for my IDs is to first find and secure the music that fits the mood I desire. From there, I can have a lot of fun hitting the story beats and animation accents, making my 15 seconds a visual joy ride.
This is an animatic. Blender is officially a part of my pipeline and I am slowly integrating all my skills, from character design to animtion, into this tool.
My initial style frame for my pitch to HULU. They loved it, but I needed to turn it up a notch...
...Below is Julius Campbell's take on my initial designs. I like how he pushed our spy's design with his unique beard and his fly spy-sneakers
I like his take on our female leads as well. Simplifying the shapes for animation but still respecting their original design.
As usual, it is always a pleasure directing and working with Julius Campbell. If you haven't already, please do yourself a favour, and check out his work.
