Budgets YAY!

My favourite part of the project is the production pack side of it. I enjoyed researching different budgeting techniques and programs, and looked at Showbiz Scheduling's Disney Master. Below are my Production Breakdowns, my Schedule for Production, a mock Film Schedule and my Budget Summary and Detail. Most of the figures are based on real finance, though some of it I had to make an educated guess, so it's not entirely accurate. But I really enjoyed it and am happy with what I produced.

Props and Things

These are some different designs for the logos, props and vehicles that are used throughout the film, though a lot of them I am still not sure on. Saoirse is irish for Freedom, so I think that work well. I'm still having a lot of difficulty drawing as it's not something I enjoy anymore, but I'm happy with some of the designs I've come up with.

Characters

These are my current character designs. I quite like how they are going but there's still a long way to go. But I am glad I have a clear direction now with style and costume.

Media Stuff

I don't work well with different media, so I thought I'd try to use as many as I could find. I liked using the black pens and ink, and also found a good technique with pastels. The cutout clothes is something I'd like to use more in development.

Initial Character Design - Monarch

The Monarch is a little hard as I'm not used to drawing older characters. But her costume will be the most elaborate, so I can enjoy drawing different designs for that. I need to make sure she looks powerful but still older than the others without being frail. I also want to design a creature as a sidekick for her, so I'm thinking of basing it on my lizards! They do interesting things so there are features I can take to make good designs.

Initial Character Design - Niamh

I want a flowing, beautiful, curved design for Niamh as it should match her ethereal nature. I also want her to contrast the human characters a lot in her femininity and have different eyes and skin. I think it's best for her to be unclothed as, because she's a spirit, it'd be unnatural for her to wear clothes.

Initial Character Design - Lucian

Lucian is a little easier as I find a lot of inspiration for the character in my friend Luke (the similar name was not intentional!) I need to remember to incorporate steampunk themes into my designs, as sometimes I make the costumes too normal. I want to go with relatively normal proportions as it suits my film better.
