Evergreen valley: Final film

EverGreen Valley from Eleonora Di Massimo on Vimeo.

Finally, it's done! The more i look at it the more i notice all the mistakes i've done. I've learned a little bit more about compositing in After Effects, which is actually pretty funny if you have a computer which doesn't crash so often. I'm quite happy i decided to experiment a little bit with the medium, instead of going for the classical animation film look.

Evergreen Valley: Presentation Storyboard

These are all my frames for the presentation storyboard. I eventually went for a hand painted style, which set me a lot of challenges, but made me more confident with my idea.

A black bear witnesses the destruction of his home and runs away terrified. When he comes back, the fertile land has been replaced by a wasteland, and he seems to be the only alive being left.

Rough Collie

Another dog sketch. I should really work on making interesting background .

Evergreen Valley: Concepts

Few concepts i did for my second film project. I've really struggled to find a simple but effective storyline and a nice visual style. The film is about deforestation and destruction of natural habitat.

Weimaraner

I don't know why i went for a kind of celtic design background.

Irish Terrier

 Irish Terrier doodle. I love drawing dogs, so i'm trying to use it to build up a more personal drawing style, so expect a lot of experimentations!

Animal watercolours

So, i have an idea for an animated film, featuring a bear and possibly a deer. I was not really familiar with bear anatomy and i wanted to experiment a little bit to find a drawing style that would have appealed to me, so i did some photographs studies.
