MY NEW SHORT FILM PROJECT!
I thought you all might like
to get a sneak peak of the concept art I've just completed for a new short film I’m
about to attempt. As you probably know, I’ve written a number of 'how to' books
on animation, so I thought it was time for me to step up to the plate and show
that I can actually practice what I preach. The new film will be called "The
HERMIT", a short story inspired by an unpublished book from author Anthony
Richardson.
The film will be entirely
hand-drawn, so I’ve no doubt it will take me several years to complete!
However, I wanted (and needed) the challenge of creating an animated film that
is both beautiful to look at and yet has sense of wisdom in its storyline too.
I definitely think the animated world is ready for such an change of pace and so,
hopefully, this will be it.
Anyway, I’ll definitely publish 'work in progress' on this blog-site as I go along, so that everyone can check-in on my progress from time to time. (And maybe students of animation can get a better insight into just how animated films are put together?) But please be patient! This is a labor of love for me and therefore it definitely can’t be rushed! Indeed, I’m probably going to have to lead the life of a ‘hermit’ myself, just to get it all done!
Tony. :^{)}=-
