Project Sasquatch

Here's some stuff from the short film I'm working on.

The main characters are Sasquatch the... Sasquatch, Apple Sasquatch's fairy friend, and Vincent the mean bat/vulture.

It's a story about not resorting to violence as an answer, because in the end you become what you hate.

For a simple animation test of Sasquatch, check it out here [Link]

The short film will resemble the test for the most part. It's going to be hand drawn in flash (no libraries, just a Wacom and a dream), but the background won't be in flash. I'm going to put the flash animation into After Effects, then insert the background elements. The background is going to be a totally different medium than the animation. I'm thinking either clay, 3D, or maybe just cut out textures of things such as grass or bark. We will see. I'm also hoping to convince a sound design student to do my audio so that way I don't have to do it and he/she gets something for their reel.

So far I'm about 20% into the animation. Not exactly where I wanted to be at this point, but I'm really pushing for my best work, no slouching this time.
