Made this really quickly a few days ago just to see how drawing on top of one of my photos would look like.
The model is just a crude thing I could draw many times quickly, don’t expect the characters of the film to look like this—they may have an ounce more effort put into them.
I really dig the look of the photo, and it may be the way to go just so that I have to draw a lot less and an audience won’t be forced to watch an entire screen of crappy, squiggly lines.
Problem is, or, at least, a new challenge is, I don’t have photos like this for all the locations that I’d like to have in the film. Meaning, I’m going to have to take more photos.
This isn’t really a problem, I like taking pictures, it’s just going to be more of a challenge to find places that fit within the picture.
Just have to do a little bit of exploring, I guess.
Also, in terms of film inspiration that I forgot to mention in the last post, Don Hertfeldt completely skipped my mind. I don’t know how, his films are pretty ingrained in how this picture will likely turn out.
If you haven’t seen his films, go watch them. They’re fantastic.
Although, if you’re into animation, you’re probably already very well acquainted with his work.
