The Distracted Brain.
2nd Dec 2010
Why is it that I get distracted the most only during jury time? I wrote the time on the table. More than what I was writing I watched the lines that were being drawn, the lead grazing on the texture of the table. I wrote the time.7:29 pm. I would start working right....NOW. But I got distracted by the doodle on the table. I spent 5 minutes shortening her hair in 3 layers, something that changed her personality drastically. Random thoughts flowed in my brain after I was done decorating her. She looked like she could be a character in corpsebride. I looked around. Monica Vicky and Alok were working, and here I was talking to myself. Monica's lightdisc was in her hands, and I thought - hey, you can animate anywhere. All you need is a pegbar. You don't need a light disc, or a capturing table. I thought of making many films. I thought of writing this down. And I think now, as I write this down, hey, I could make a movie out of this. Infact, if there was someone shooting the sequence of events right now, shooting me typing this, shot by shot shooting my actions, I could make a movie out of it. Screw planning. Screw all that knowledge and research thats done so monotously before making something - even for the fun of it. All you need is the desire to have fun. I look back at the time. It's 7:44 now. Shit....
That could be a 17 minute movie.

Hand drawings
Some of the hand gestures I practiced using Toby Shelton's reference sketches. You can refer to them here.
Toby Shelton
One of the most awesome storyboard artists I've ever come across is Toby Shelton.
He's got such beautiful lively drawings that are so communicative and expressive that after looking at his storyboards you don't feel like drweamworks NEEDS to make a movie out of it. They're so self-explainatory. His lines just flow into one another, creating strong forms and expressions that one can immediately and strongly relate to.
Here's his blog - http://tobyshelton.blogspot.com
Check out some of his work for all inspiration.

Random face shapes
Giraffe sketches
While doing some of these I oticed the eyes are so cute n gentle looking, with a little longer lashes the giraffe could pull off being an ostrich. ;)
Now it's starting to look like a camel! :|
And here goes the most badly composed giraffe without the patches. learly it loses its identity without them..!
