This week I finished painting all the characters.
And because CHEN was worried about the progress of the work, I also finished the male models this week. As our story is not coloured at the beginning, my team can start working on camera adjustments and screen control at the same time, even though I haven’t finished the mapping.
Regarding the FMP, I have 2 ideas at the moment. A Chinese martial arts style short film about a little girl (originally a boy) who seeks revenge on her adoptive father. This is a short film I’ve wanted to make for a long time, and I have an early version of the story.
Here’s some of the combat footage I made later
I have some early storyboards as well as some character designs that I’ve been working on lately. I drew the simple lines myself.
And I used Stable difffusion to simulate some of the effects of the colouring. For this short film I wanted to use more Chinese colours and shapes, as well as 2D mapping. This was a huge amount of work for me.
My second idea is a short film that combines elements of viruses, monsters and doctors. It’s about a doctor who has to take part in an experimental programme in order to cure his daughter and eventually escapes from the lab in order to see her.
In this story, the doctor has to turn into a monster in order to escape from the lab.
I also have some early setups and concepts for this story.
