STYLE BOARD

Concept 01

STATIC TYPE

This static type concept focuses on the best cinematic shots of the film, which are simplize to illustrate sharp edge with grayscale and red color. The reason of using these shots is introduce the film sense, characters and elements related to the main concept of story. The reason of using sharp red shapes and rough textures with high contrast color is to convey the rage feeling.

Concept 02

GRAPHIC ANIMATED

This type concept focuses on the Henry’s personage, which was broken by his mother when he was a kid. Each fragment is triangular and it’s looking anywhere to fit himself in it, and the only place he can fit himself is related to streetwalkers. Rectangle is chosen because it’s unstable, slippery, sharp, keen, splutter, sexual, and insane.

Concept 03

LIVE ACTION COMPOSITED

This type concept focuses on the Henry’s car, which is the most attached object in the story. In addition, he has a rule : “Keep moving “.

Maatkaa

This is a short film for my M.A thesis ( subject: The communication between Illustration`s and direct of contemporary linear Animation`s ) .

I tried to decoupaged it in a sequence-plan way (without cut between plans), and designed it minimalistic. The story is about how mother nature created earth ( 7 days of creation ) and shows how the human destroyed the earth.
