Concept from my grad film

Its a pretty good time to update on the progress of my film, Key Lime Pie. I just finished my animatic, ive got a few small changes but for the most part ive got something i can move forward with. Right now im trying to establish the overall look of the film, so heres my first layout concept; Times square all key lime pie'd up. Expect more posts very soon, in the meantime id love some feedback.

yeah, i bet you would love some FEEDback, for a film about a type of FOOD. a PUN trevor?? really? the worst part is i don't even think you meant to write it like that. so tell your subconscious it's not funny, before it quits it's day job of being an animation dork.

Hey Trev,

I've been wanting to give you feedback on story, but everything I think of seems to be pretty nitpicky - it seems really tight!

So I guess I'll just add my two cents about the layout..

Seems that the tones push you over to the right of the image plane, with the central key lime billboard seeming to be of less importance (the size of the "key" on the right seems to balance the central "lime" and the two streetlights plus the foreground "taxi" sign seem to push the eye to the right more, in my opinion). I'd tweak it a bit to make the pile of pie a lot more prominent - perhaps either by size or by tones. It might even push it back to the center again if you made a sign on the left bright as well (Possible the circular one on the top left hand corner?)

The drawing's pretty sweet though. Have you thought about making everything pie-shaped? (The taxi lights, the marquees, etc).

Hope everything's going great with the film. Looking forward to the screening!

trev, looks nice. I like the way you were able to have the mass confusion but still hold a strong focus. the brightness of the "lime" in the background really pulls the eye back and into the shot. Also really dig the variety of signage and their shapes. Will you post the animatic? I'd really like to see that.

Hey man, I saw your animatic at the screening. It looks awesome! Your layouts really set the mood and overall look. You could really feel and believe the creepy time square key lime pie death city. The narration also worked really well. I loved how hed go to eat it and put his tongue out and tap it with his tongue savouring it. The credits were hilarious too how hes dead lying ther. I cant wait to see the final film! Good work man!

I like the composition but what would happen if you shifted it to the left a tad bit so the billboard Key Lime pie sits right on the sweet spots of thirds, you know what i mean?

Hey man. Great piece. Your leica really got me absorbed today at the screening. It's going to be awesome. I think some sound effects and better pacing could have helped mine!
