The Pitch!

Merry Christmas! It's been a long 5 weeks, and I can finally say I've finished my cartoon pitch! I had a break over the last few days for christmas, but I putt the finishing touches to the pitch today, so here it is! Hope you like!!

Camera!

This is how I see the episodes looking like when they interview the characters. All the interviews won't just be in the staffroom, this is just an idea of what it'll look like! Im happy with it, I think the he fits in to the backgrounds really well!

Poster!

My idea for the poster! I tried to go with the school theme, so desk, graffiti, pens paper etc. I think it describes each character as well just by looking at them so I'm pretty pleased with it!

Staff Room!

Just designed the series logo for Staff Room! I really like the rough style of it, looks like someone has scribbled it. I also like how I've used the school badge for the S and R and used the school colours!

Staffroom!

Just finished the staffroom! I really wanted the staffroom to bring out the characters personalities. I wanted it to look like they don't care about mess and teaching so I made it dirty, messy and not very proffesional. For example the books in a cupboard, dirt on the walls and Miss Jenkins smoking. Hope you like it!

Schools now in session!

Just finished the school background, took me longer than I thought, I didn't notice how much little detail I had to add! I'm very pleased with it though, I especially like how it has the oldish run down feel which I wanted! Hope you like it! I'll finish the staff room soon hopefully and then I'll post it up!

Third week!

Shwmai! In to the third week of the post production now and really enjoying the project. Feel rewarding when I see all my rough designs from the pre production come to life with colour! I wasn't that in to creating backgrounds before but I'm really enjoying it. This week I've used illusrator to colour the school and staff room in, and managed to finish the hallway! (It's posted below, think it's better?)  I've had this pitch idea of having all the info like character info, backgrounds, episode ideas, etc in files with paper clips attaching the designs, etc, I tried it out and its looking really good, really pleased with it, just need to finish all the work now to putt in it! I'll try have the school and staff room backgrounds finished by the end of the week and I'll post them when I can!

I also re designed the caretakers body because something wasn't right with it before!

2nd week!

Coming to the end of the second week now and to be honest I didn't realise how much work goes in to post production!! But I am really enjoying it, the main reason I'm enjoying it is because its all my ideas coming to life, for example creating what the characters should look like on a 360 degree angle, and what they should look like and fit in to the environments. I've managed to do more than I thought this week. Here is the turnaround for Mr.Griffiths (Headmaster) and Mr.Winterbottom (Drama teacher) and the hallway background. Enjoy!

Here's the rough caretaker character. I included him in the image to see how they'd fit in with the hallway.

Rough idea!

After hours and hours of colouring the characters on illustrator I finally have a rough idea of the size, feel and look of each character! I like how they all size up to each other and I think they all look the same sort of style of cartoon which I'm pleased with! And I especially like the drama teacher with the skull and the headmaster! The colours aren't finalized and I haven't added any kind of shadow or real detail to them, but this is what i came up with! Again feel free to leave a comment on how I could improve them!
