GOing to do my best to make a "making of" art book for HSM
I draw stuff like this all the time in my crappy sketchbooks ^ ^
Since a bunch of people asked for concept art and making of stuff in the survey I did... they also asked for the "art of" type book ya know.... Yeh so I'm going to do my best to make it... i just scanned in like 140 pages from my sketch/idea books from HSM.... then I'm going to render some wireframes of the scenes + characters as well as render the raw sculpts out of Zbrush... AND write a ton about what influenced everything... the whyS... how I developed the ideas etc... its all stuff yall asked for in the survey and more!.... so the book will be something like "The art and philosophy of Heart String Marionette"
In the book and film... is the way I have chosen to live my life ...and my approach to life, death and the universe...it's a mixture of many thINGS.....it's not preachy or anything..its just used as the base... as the philosophical stage that is set for this drama... BUT you could probably start a cult based on it if you wanted too 0_0 I've described the philosophy to a few people and if the ones that we're artistically inclined really resonated with it.... BUT ANYWAY I just wanted to let yall know it will be as much theory/philosophy as it will be art and technical stuff...
If things go as planned you'll be able to get the book when the film is released...or perhaps a bit before... I'm making the book so that it will work as a printed book, a pdf, or an epub...
I really should have done something like this for my last film too BUT I was so slammed with work/stress last time I was reeling just to get the film finished then to make the DVD... since I'm more experienced now I should be able to handle the book too...
Compositing is still moving along well...Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
