Swiss Family Concept

Just keeping it simple with the layouts. Like I mentioned before, only selections of these will be in the final portfolio but this is the sort of thing I enjoy on blogs so I figured I'd share it. 

Starting concept:
Robotic ad agency creating pitches for intergalactic tours ;)

My photo robots were fashion (costume) documentarians :)


Modified Concept:

So once I came on this really rough idea for Swiss Family Robinson I did quick little silhouettes, riffing off of Shaun and Keith's sketches...


...and started playing with a short script treatment. I ended up simplifying the role of the robots since that was a leftover from our original blue sky and I felt that I was rationalizing their photobot role too much. Once I had a basic story working I used that to sketch out some thumbnails of character moments/costume beats so I could further wrap my head around the characters and the themes of the story. 


I picked through the story thumbnails and took some of them further as I narrowed down my ideas. I also created a basic color map/guide for myself to inform the palette. I then took each character, picked the main emotions they arc through and did some little palette chips to inform their costume palettes for those moments.
