Authors First is a film company aimed at bringing authors stories to the silver screen. The title animation follows the journey from an authors initial spark of inspiration, to published book, to screenplay, and finally to screen.
Every frame was meticulously painted by hand to give it the feeling of an oil painting come to life. The process involved blocking out the timing with 2D animation, creating a 3D render of the light seeping from a cracked door, to hand painting the frame with pencil and charcoal brushes. And finally using Rebelle to hand paint each frame to give it a real oil painting appearance.
I collaborated with sound designer and musician, Joe Basile, who used saxophone, strings, and orchestral accompaniment, as well as foley sound, to help bring the piece to life.
Sound Design: Joe Basile aka The Chicken
Below you can see the cutting room floor styleframes that didn't make it into the final film.
