PROGRESS LOG

Colouring the storyboard. I am not a storyboard artist so I plan to colour the storyboard panels with simplicity and only the colours that differentiate the characters will be defined. Camera angels are not final, but this is the basic guideline that is intended for the story.

PROGRESS LOG

I have done the character concepts and model sheets, and starting on storyboard. The story has to be simple and appropriate for a short animation, but time is running short so I'll have to settle down for a straight forward kind of story, at least for now. Squeezing it into a 3 to 5 minutes short animation is going to be quite a challenge. If I had too, this would need a maximum reconstruction on the story. But for now, the current story is all I have. Or alternately if possible, I might have to make a short animation thriller as a project.

PROGRESS LOG

Sketching 1 main character model sheet and detail idea. Creating a Story Outline.

still in my mind, because of the time and time lost, I might have to make the model sheets less detail

This is some old and new concept of the main character's armor. Note the armor will be designed in reference of the old Malay warrior.
