Sean Cassidy Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Caught this over on io9 - a mock-up animatic for a short story of Neil Gaiman's, called 'The Price'. Even as a mock-up instead of the finished product, I think I'd have paid to see this film. Gaiman's narration is perfect, and the expression in the simply drawn cat is amazing. The Price - The Original Animatic from Christopher Salmon on Vimeo. This is the animatic I created in 2006 which convinced author Neil Gaiman to grant me the rights to create a 3D CG animated film of his remarkable short story, "The Price." The intent of this animatic was to showcase my ability as a filmmaker and storyteller, and focused on creating an emotional template rather than to convey a visually cohesive style (which is occurring now in production with the coordinated help of artists, designers and digital sculptors).

SalmonMax Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Good god. That's awesome. I don't even see it as a mock up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cassidy Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Same here! I think it works just as is. The only negative comments on io9, which I agree with, was the devil being a little too.. Diablo-esque. Just needed a little toning down and subtlety instead of the blatant Balrog look.

SalmonMax Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 lol...it was Diablo-esque, yes. I didn't really mind it, since the style of storytelling really kind of needed it to be monstrous looking. But yeah, I could definitely see toning down that look a bit. It's not A devil, after all...it's THE Devil. A less derivative look would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
