Initial Ideas

When we were still deciding on our initial ideas I originally decided on perhaps a Scott Pilgrim theme. I had recently watched the film " Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" and I loved how it was filmed and the special effects.

I loved how the film had scenes from the comic book and had comic book aspects.



I didn't necessarily want to do a fight scene but this clip I found kinda has all the aspects of the film that I liked. I love how over the top it is and the "KAPOW" and stuff that makes it comic book style.

Some of the team liked my idea but it wasn't liked by all members, it had potential but it would have taken us a while to finalise an idea as the "Scott Pilgrim" theme wasn't a stable enough starting point from my teams eyes.

We also thought about perhaps using a cel shaded theme for our work. We liked the idea and took influence from A Scanner Darkly and Sin City.

A Scanner Darkly


We liked the use of cell shading in this. To create this effect they Rotoscoped live action footage. We could have done this but its very very time consuming, and with such a short time frame with which to produce our work we probably wouldn't have enough time to produce a fully Rotoscoped piece of work.

Sin City


We liked the film noir style of Sin City, we also liked how it was comic book themed liked Scott Pilgrim albeit a lot darker.
