Weekly update #12

Another late update. I am a little behind schedule. According to my schedule, I should have finished the first version of my guideline.

But I did do a first test to see what evokes an emotion and also tested with some sketches . Also, the prop designs on the floats are finished.

Now I'll have to analyze the data, already started that.
Also the color board is in progress. which I will use for my research on emotion and illustrations.
next post will be a bit longer :)

Sketches that were used for the test, to see which one is the most affective.

'late' weekly update #11

I have created more overview for myself by making a MoSCoW so I know what had more priority, and also I reduced in the deliverables. I'm also working with Emiel Kampen for a possible opportunity to make a game under the IP of 15 Second Zombie.

the main things that have to be finished in order to graduate:

4 illustrations that prove my theory - Ma
theory and guideline for the illustrations - Ma
Environment design: Sambadrome - Ba
Environment Design: Factory - Ba
Character Designs: Carnival Zombies - Ba
Character Designs + expressions: Gustavo & Laticia - Ba
Prop Designs: Carnival Floats + Carnival stuff - Ba
Prop Designs: Weapons - Ba
Color Script - Ba
Mock - up 1st level + assets - Ga
Assets exported + animated - Ga

Ma = Master
Ba = Bacholor
Ga = Game

Some of these deliverables are already finished. ( Environment design: Sambadrome, Environment Design: Factory, Character Designs: Carnival Zombies, Character Designs + expressions: Gustavo & Laticia)

But still a lot has to be done, and even if this is finished there is a whole list of assets and environment that can be developed. but for now I will work on this list.

Designs of the Zombies

15 second zombie

Zombies, perhaps one of the most used and cliché monster that exists in fiction. Everyone knows them as the walking dead who return to feed on a fresh piece of living human flesh and brains for dessert. But what if a zombie was able to experience empathy for another person and can still recall his or her memories that he /she had from when they were still alive?

We would like to give this classic a fun twist, we want to give the viewer a world where there is an exceptional zombie who does not comply with this. But still able to feel compassion and recall his/her memories. This story is set in an apocalyptic Rio de Janeiro at a ruined carnival festival.

Where going to create a new world with a story and design a trailer, where we want to surprise the viewer, let them disgusted, feel happiness and intense grief.
