Here are ten images that I looked up on the internet today to use as reference material for my first project.

Claymation

This is my finished claymation. I did this for my final project in this class. You can see some of my concepts in the video.

Claymation

I decided to do a claymation for my final project. I'm shooting the clay movement with a greenscreen and I'm going to put my images in the background. I'm going to overlay this particular image so that the camera angle is from inside the monsters mouth when hes about to eat the kid.

Market

This is a concept for the market in the lost city of Lemuria. I was again messing with the techniques we learned in class concerning light. I wanted to show a pretty alive place. Everyone in the lost city wears blue cloaks, the reason is shrouded in mystery, even I don't know. Maybe they all worship a blue god or every other color is outlawed to keep the peace. Maybe their eyes have adjusted to the lack of light in the monsters belly. It could be anything but probably nothing to do with the fact that they are easier to draw that way.

Monsters Mouth

This is a concept for the monsters mouth. I was mostly trying to mess around with the different ways of creating the illusion of light and depth that we learned in class.

Living Forest

This is a concept for the forest in the monsters belly. The trees are like normal trees in the way that they grow from the ground up but in actuality, they are part of the monster. I don't know what they compare to on an actual organism, something crossed between hair and sea anemones. They can't walk around or anything but they will try to grab you if you get too close.

The Chosen One

So after the kid gets eaten by a monster he falls to the ground inside the monsters belly encompassed by a beam of light. The beam of light is caused by light entering through the opening of the monsters mouth. It is a very dramatic entrance. To the people living in the belly, it's like he's falling from the heavens. Set's up the idea of the "chosen one."
