PROJECT 2 - PITCH BIBLE

The second stage of this overall short film making process is to make the 'pitch bible'. The pitch bible is in a sense a presentation used to propose story idea to executives in order to gain grants or permission from large studios to work on. Before making the slide themselves, I will have to determine what are the likely style of the story.

ENVIRONMENT DRAWING

The first thing I do is to draw the environment for each of the setting in the story and in the process, determined the overall look of the film. For each of the environment, I start off with a guideline and draw out the shapes. Here are several process I laid for each of the environments:

FUN ISLAND

In the Fun Island, I used the two point perspective to help guide me with drawing out the environment. First, I draw the outline of the island that have envisioned in my mind. More of a temporarily outline for me to plan out and then trace after.

Fig 1.1 Island Guide Line (3/11/2024)
 
From there, I fill up the color according to the guideline as well as add some clouds and the sun as well as the waves.

After that, I add some headlights onto the island and shadow of the clouds.
 
Fig 1.3 Island Highlight (3/11/2024)

Once I have done with the island, I add some more 'decorations' to the island according to the description I initially have from project one.

SEWER

For the sewer, I once again use a two point perspective for my perspective but in a much different way that the island due to the sewer being a long corridor. Like the previous location, I start out writing down the guideline of the location.

Again, I then fill out the color filling.

After that, I add the pipes and ladder.

I then add the radioactive sludge for the cake to fall into while also glowing.

DOWNTOWN

For the downtown area, I use perspective plane to help aid with my drawing. Initially I have another version of the design. However, I find it a bit of flat and decide to revise the downtown.

Fig 3.1.1 Downtown Initial Plan (4/11/2024)

So, I revise the downtown area but this time, I used the same perspective plane for the revised version. I once again draw the guideline of the downtown.

Fig 3.2.1 Downtown Guideline Plan (5/11/2024)

Next I draw the outline of the road and the fill in the color of the building.

Fig 3.2.2 Downtown Color Plan (5/11/2024)

After that, I add in the background of the downtown and then add a darken filter to the picture.

Fig 3.2.3 Finished Downtown (5/11/2024)

BEACH

The final environment I decide to draw is the Pebble Beach. Also used a two point perspective.

Finish 4.1.1 Guideline Beach (4/11/2024)

As I repeat the same action as I did for previous environments, I'll skip ahead and show the final image.

Fig 4.1.2 Finished Beach (4/11/2024)

CHARACTERS

The next step of the process is to start designing the characters. Naturally, the first character that I drew would be cake so I decide to make a turnover sheet for Cake. I initially design a few character design before picking the sole design. Here are some of the designs.

Fig 5.1 Cake Design 1 (6/11/2024)
Fig 5.2 Cake Design 2 (6/11/2024)
 
From the images of the design, I pick a few of the design and start to add the color of the Cake and see how the color is like.
Fig 5.3 Cake Color (6/11/2024)
 
Then I pick the rounded character with a black eyes and redesign them. The other two cake are just something I drew mostly for fun. Trying out a different cake flavor, chocolate and red velvet.

PITCH BACKGROUND

Then, I have to made the background of the slide including the title of the short film and the title and content box. There are certain element that I made separately. Here are what I have made.

Fig 6.3 Title Cream (16/11/2024)
 
Fig 6.4 Pitch Bible Cover (16/11/2024)

Once I am done with the elements, I compile all of them into the presentation and add in some information about the short film.


FINAL RESULT

Once I'm done with the Pitch Bible, I also have to present the pitch bible in a video form.

FEEDBACK

Maybe readjust the beach environment and have the wave curve according to the angle. Maybe use the reference of the beach to make the adjustment.


REFLECTION

One of the my most particular favorite result of this project is the sewer art. Something about it that makes it look a little interesting to look at. The Downtown area on the other hand is something I am not truly satisfied with despite the revision. Something about it seem off. Due to time constraints, I am left with no choice but go on with what I had. Perhaps I could make some changes for the final animation of the short film.
