Hello everyone, once again.
This year so far has been insane though enlightening. I posted about a short film I am going to make during my time on Coraline at Laika. This is my insane attempt at doing a project while working a 50 hour week. Which for a lot may not seam that bad but imagine having to be at work at 8 am! Dear god its terrible. Then getting off at 7 pm, by the time I get home I am wrecked. Its terrible. So I came up with this short film idea that will help keep me grounded. It will be a live action film, about 7 minutes long and consists of one main character and a whole bunch of make-up/puppetry. Everything that I have planned out is in an amazing process right now. After getting all the production stuff written down and figured out, now I am getting the dirty work done. Sculpting what needs to be sculpted and creating all the SFX stuff, which will be mainly in camera stuff. So, to explain this picture, this is kind of a spoiler but its OK cause this has been part of my work therapy and should be shared. This is a Chameleon creature that the main character evolves into at the end of the film. When it is all done this will be a combination of puppet and cable control FX. I tried coming up with this design over and over again, then eventually went back to a design I have posted at the beginning of my blog! A one minute picture I did while being intoxicated some night a long time ago. So here is the sculpt that is almost done with the picture that inspired it. Enjoy! And I will keep everyone updated of the film progress. I hope all are well and creating this year.
Cheers! Tony Candelaria
