This blog is intended to serve as a dump site for all our thoughts, inspirational images, working images, and assignments for our Drucula project, and spiritual thoughts. Let's focus on grabbing some good reference to inspire us.
Our Proposal for this Project:
To create a short animation film based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The
style will be reminiscent to that of Pixar’s Brave and Disney’s Tangled.
The stylization of the environments will be inspired from Blizzard’s
Diablo 3. We propose to design, model, texture, and rig the entire cast
of Dracula including a series of supporting background characters. We
will also create sets for all the major scenes in the book that we find to
be the most invaluable to telling the visual story of Dracula. In addition,
we plan to create a large library of props, textures, vehicles, and matte
paintings with which to populate our world. We intend to change the
time setting of the story from mid Victorian to just prior to World War 1
similar to Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows. Dracula’s background
story will be juxtaposed with the conspiracies surrounding the Roth
Child’s Family. His initial interests in international banking will stem
from his direct involvement in the Knight’s Templar initiative to protect
early Christians making their pilgrimage to the Holy Lands.
