The big meeting was had and Tom, Kieran and I came out of the wash as a team.
Tom and Kieran already had a little idea in mind but it does contain most of the elements I am interested in working on, so it all worked out in the end.The idea generally involves a man being turned into a CG character and many crazy antics ensue. This idea will fit perfectly for all our specialisms. Kieran and I will undertake the good number of fairly complex vfx and compositing elements and Tom will attack the 3D character with his mad animating skills.
This is a wee concept the boys put together before my addition to their team:
I am, rather looking forward to getting our project cleaned up and production started! :)
This concept of an animated character in a live action environment reminds me a great deal of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988) .
The 3D character will interact with objects in the environment and naturally the transformation scene will be one of the most taxing jobs in regards to vfx and compositing.
