Production

Production on Desire was more about self-direction than anything else. I made a Gantt chart, a daily tracker and an animation props tracker. Every day I’d check the trackers and adjust my schedule depending on how much work I completed.

Concept Art

The concept art for the film encompassed all areas of design, from character art to environment art. My process included alternating between character and environment so I could better match the designs to suit each other.

Animation Breakdown

Below is an outline of my process while animating my 2D and 3D shots for the film from the storyboard/animatic phase to final renders.

Layout Breakdown

As the layout artist for the film, we devised a certain process and style for all our backgrounds from roughs to final colour. Below is a breakdown of the look for the final backgrounds.

Layouts

These are my finished layouts for the 2D section of the film. Some BGs were reused for different shots. My main goal with the BGs was to make a clear distinction between how the world looked prior to Alexander using the pendant and how it looked after.
