***Zothmund Visual Taster***

I've found the final visual of Zothmund project. I used an inner shadow and a raster as a stylized noise to broke the simple, homogene shapes. Sometimes I'm bored my style so I'm glad to use this raster as something new.

I was drawing on paper but the colors, shadows and rasters are done by computer.

ANIMATION
I will use 2D animation in Anime Studio like the Frog-tango. It's not a frame by frame drawing technic rather a paper cut animation with bones, moving-flowing vector points and flexible movements. I can use the raster as a texture for the selected shape in animation aaaand it's possible to scale, move too.

ZOTHMUND
The left character is from 2008 and the rights the new. He is a fisher-hunter boy, he eats fishes but a bigger fish also can eat him. And one of the most important I want to make a real toy from him and the shark too.

COLOR
My concept is based on a complementary colors, the air and the "normal world" is yellowish and the water is bluish. This is the reason for the yellow bubbles, because I'm bored to use blue bubbles. So the color of Zothmund's skin changes too and the glasses are always inverse. Not to mention that the yellow and the blue are a typical diver colors.

BACKGROUND
His room has one fisheye view and try to collect every kind of fish things. The floor, his stuffs as a surf ironing board, fishing chair, aquarium tv and a klippan sofa from ikea. His car parking inside.
The shark has a nightmare, ghost version and it comes in and try to hurt, bite, catch him. I have only one version of it in the video.

The city where he flees by car is a shower-soap-flacon-skyscraper city. I use just a form however I think it's better if I do more understandable of this bathroom things. We will see.

THE SHARK
I was thinking how to draw a GREAT white shark, because a lot of drawings of shark are so stipud and to much "angry" and lame. I like a pretty cool shark wich is funny and frightening enough. This also goes to be a toy, if it opened his mouth it would be amazing!

CHILD
I'm planing to make some live action scenes when a child play with them in the bath. The child around 5 years old, is a real child and his toys too. The live action and the animation scenes will change eachother step by step as the real world and the playing time are combined.
I met three child to exam and watch them how they play. Two of them are a brothers, Berci (7 years old) and Marci (5) could sit in the bath. I printed out and laminated the figures so they played with them like a toys. Gabi (5) had no bath and he rather wanted to play with cars. Every children liked the camera and they made ourselves funny faces. They talked about horror and everybody ate everybody there was no peace. You can see the color of live action is yellowish too like in Zothmund's world.

Well I won't use blood in the movie but they won't drink a cup of tea next to eachother. As I haven't have animatic yet I made a concept video of this slides with music and a little animation to explain the genre and give an impression. I used a original sound track of Leon the professional -The Fight (part 2 - Bring Me Everyone) as a temp music (example music). I like this classical, scary but sometimes funny music, my favourite is the submarine drum.
The scenes of life footage shark are from the tv. The Animal Planet had a shark month in autum and I recorded it.

So this is the point where I'm now, enjoy the concept video, the small short taster of Zothmund!


Zothmund Animation Graduation
2013 MOME MA

*** Graduation film -Zothmund ***

I have started the last year at the university. The master graduation is rather based on the five years instead of just the two. So I am try to collect everything knowledge and push it in this film.

My project based on my get entry comic what I draw five years ago, the first thing for mome. Its a very simple Jaw's story, Zothmund the diver catch a shark, as his job or a request but at the and we have a joke.

I would like to record the and as a live-action with a real toys what I will make after the final character design. Now with my teachers we working on the story but i need time to let trickling out the happenings and what-why things.
I have some digital paintings for the solution of water and bubbles. I would like to show this fall in scene slowly to enjoy the different material as the water give you this special feeling.

And I have some page of storyboard which are only the first idea! I have wanted to make a fried eggs breakfast scene for a long time and a driving scene too like in the Drive movie. His car is a Citroen DS from 1972, it's called shark.
The under water scenes are still in work in progress brainstorming.

The graduation exam is include an essay too which theme is so closer to the film. I am reading a books about child fantasy and psychology, mitology, shark legends and surrealism.

FaZZine -Svindli Remake

Elkészült a képregényem, végre nem a szokásos csináljunk jópofa kedves dolgokat világ...



































































A vége szándékosan nyitott, így lehet folytatása. Viszont talán túlzottan sűrű az egész és nehezen kivehetőek a dolgok, de kitérdekel, ez faZZine!

FaZZine

Miklós kolléga megkérdezett immáron másodszor van-e kedvem képregényt rajzolni dúrva-hárdkór-anyázós stílusban, ahogy azt kell. Elsőre nem vágtam, milyen dolgok ezek, attól mert csúnyán beszélek és mindenki okád a lapon miért lesz ez nekem jó?! Így kimaradtam az első körből, de miután láttam ennek eredményeit megtetszett a dolog és lejött mit is vár a srác. Mondjuk nekem még mindíg nem fekszik, hogy faszoskodást rajzoljak, többiektől el tudom fogadni, magamtól egyenlőre nem. Szal valami bevezető témát kerestem, ahol lehet dúrvúlni és nekem is belefér. Szerencsére találtam egy mélyen elbújt ötletet, ahol lesz kit szétzúzni és lesz kitől rettegni!



Egyenlőre csak firkálgattam, ismerkedtem az új stílussal, kipróbáltam a Miki féle raszterezést, de asszem már jöhet élesbe, hétvégén jólenne megcsinálnom!
