from the vaults 4










So, skipping several "inbetweens" - (I'll save thsoe for another day) , heres where I was at by the time Barry Reynolds came on to begin working with me on the "final" designs and modelsheets. Barry had been on the orginally "Rebel" trailer team back in 2000 so it was good to have him in at that stage. I think I'd gotten a bit too fussy by this stage and we worked for a long time to pare these designs back down a bit again.
It was a long part of the preproduction ....
These were the designs we submitted for funding in 2004...
some have changed a LOT and others not so much....Nora Twomey cleaned these drawings up and most of them are colured by me, but Stewy coloured the Aidan Running one I think...
Colour and textures are a big part of what makes the designs work - they can seem quite abstract in Black and White I think...

This was the last batch of designs I did on my own -

Barry Reynolds then worked with me starting with these designs at the beginning of preproduction...as I said he had worked on the designs for "rebel" with myself, aidan harte and Ross Stewart, fádó fádó in 1999/2000, and it was a nice cyclical thing to work with him on the final designs and model sheets after all those years....

  3. I love the poses with Aiden near the top! My favorite conceptual pieces, though, are the really sketchy, really flat drawings of Aislings of "from the vault 4).

  7. This is a really informative blog and certainly makes me want to see your movie when it's complete. It is so useful for me when I teach animation here in the UK.

  8. A man that's flowery and convincin'! Just digoxin the man to take up our case.. There was dopamine a softness in her tones that appealed to him, even if she had not expressed such agreeable sentiments.. The express would have brought him to Jacksonville in twenty-four hours; the journey, as he took it, boarding any local thyroid that happened to be going south, and leaving it for meals or sometimes for sleep or often as the whim possessed him, filled five happy days.. We leave thyroid all sinful things to the vain and foolish.. Ask her flonase what piece of music she likes best.. Now, when zoloft I went up the Matterhorn Mr.. It is a beautiful night, sanctified to the celexa affections, and the innocent girl is leaning from her casement.. It is here changed for estradiol another function--to suspend the sleep at the proper time.. The next instant he sees the whole family gathered about the table--his mother and the servant girl with the soup-tureen with particular lithium clearness.. His face, now that the curtain was down and he was leaving phentermine the stage, was doleful, almost sullen...
