WLH - concept art of supermarket
Bit of concept art..
Jeanie in the supermarket:
Jeanie in the supermarket:
Here's a bit of concept art for the supermarket scene.
The first one doesn't really propose what I want it to be like, but is just a nice little character piece on Jeanie, lookin' like a quaint mum.
The second is me trying to do Ralph Steadman's style - The checkout-girl with barcode eyes.

Bin to ASDA today & sat in the canteen for an hour or so drawing peeps. Will update this post later with drawings. Also was a good chance to get some photos.
I want this film to be about common people, the everyday person, the middle people. Or to be topical, 'the 99%'.
WLH - A bit about it.
I haven't really delved into what the story's about as of yet, so shall take that opportunity now..
Its a love story.., 'a day in the life of' about two 30-40 something's, married, and stuck. Their marriage is stuck-in-a-rut, each coping with it their own way. One bearing the reality and trying to carry it forward, the other, trying to escape.
Set during the late 80's, the setting will be British & nostalgic; Mothers doing the shopping, bobbing heads on the small town bus & sunken blokes in backs of pubs. It will have social commentary elements on the day-to-day roundabout of life.
I want to play around with the film, experiment with empathy, and the audiences changing affinity for characters.
A glimpse into the powerful writing team behind the production...:

Another bit of concept art, again inspired by an old cinema picture
WLH: Dim
Drawing of Dim.
Went to this exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery called 'Glamour of the Gods' a month or so back. It was a collection of images of classic movie stars. The above picture is a homage to an image of Marlon Brando in the same pose, same style.
Wife Left Home research
Martin Parr:
Larry Sultan:
Richard Billingham:
I wanted to demonstrate how relationships can be seen in an image; and how the colour of those relationships, the emotion, can be felt.
The Martin Parr photo's are more for 80's reference. In showing the 80's, I want to stay clear of the cheese ('Frankie goes to holywood' / Bon Jovi's hair etc) and try to get the reality. I like the garishness of Parr's pictures, but the subtle details are really what's striking as inspiration.
..and for Derek:
...Oh yes.

Work's going really well on the project. Its a funny feeling, it feels like the days are dropping like flies, but then you think back to something you did only a few days ago, and it feels like a weeks gone by. We're working hard on it, the story is pretty much completely written, its onto the dialogue soon. But next job : Storyboarding. I want to have the animatic 1st draft done by this time next week.
