After going to an AJR concert, I decided to change the style of the first part of animation. I love what AJR does with their performance and the wide variety of styles they use. I am not one to take videos at concerts, but I did the other night just to take notes for capstone!
My original plan for the first third was to use a painterly style. However, that will take forever and I was hesitant to start. So I am now doing a sketching style that will ebb and flow in rendered color amount. I am also taking reference from a short film I saw during preproduction called Undersong by Matt Smithson. This style is more of what I am used to and I know it will speed up my production.
Here is a reference sheet I created after testing several brushes and colors.
Line work: Painting, Dry Ink brush. Color – #271f17
