Adobe Audition - 30/01/2019
The task set for us in this session was to edit and manipulate existing to create something unique. I managed to turn soft, comforting classical music in to a loud, rigorous, electronic rhythm .
Influence Moodboard
I decided to create the art style for the characters and environments based on cartoons from the 1960s and even earlier to give a distinct look, feel and aesthetic. It allows for a certain personality for the characters and the world.
Environment and Props Mindmap and Research
1960s Apartment blocks and upper class flats I took inspiration from. The props I imagined would belong in the Lepidopterists apartment, including butterfly taxidermy and lamp designs from the 1960s.
Character Design Session - 13/02/2019
Story boarding exercise. Med-bot "Boltz" character design challenge. My attempt with influences from dieselpunk and "atompunk" styles.
Development of Scene Two
Development of Main scene with modeled furniture and a male model for scale and reference.
Modeled Apartment Building
The Apartment Building where Mr. Herman, the Lepidopterist lives. The building is planned to appear in my opening establishing shot. A false room has been created so to provide a sense of continuity as the rest of the pre-viz will take place in a different scene altogether. The False room.
Reworked Butterfly concept Art
Reworked butterfly with more triangular proportions and a more cartoon inspired appearance.

Tower Block Concept Art
Colours were saturated and lightened to add more personality and suggest that they were recently built.
Art style and Influences moodboard
For my influences and art direction I decided to look at cartoons from before the 1960s and early 70s, including Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Scooby-Doo; since they'd be airing around the time the scene takes place - 1969.
