Dear Diary...
I just started my very own shortfilm: "Forget-me-not". As you are always really interested in my work I'll let you know what I've done so far and keep you up to date! You know, when doing a shortfilm, it's all about the story. You don't know the story? Well, here it is:

An old storywriter falls into depression after his wife dies. The characters he created in his stories, which are interacting in reality, are trying to bring him back to life.The more the storywriter ignores his imaginary characters, the more invisible they get, until the old man finds one of his books. As soon as he starts remembering his characters, they get back their visibility. The old man realises that if the writes about his dead wife, she will life forever in his memories.

Sounds good, right? And as I have really good people collaborating with me, I think this will be a wonderful film!

The cast!

Dear Diary...
Sorry for beeing really bad in keeping you up to date. I try my best,  promise!
Last week we had our deadline for the PreProduction. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I think I finally learned "time management". Well, we'll see with the next deadline :-)
But finally I can show you how the characters look like!
Here are the main character: The old man and his wife. The dragon and the elves/fairy are half transparetn as they are "just" memories. They are his created characters.

And at the moment they are getting modelled, so exciting when your drawings become 3D!!!The wife is modelled by Ben, Lisa is modelling the fairy and Gabby is doing the elf. The old man is modelled by Dan, but he has to finish an other project, so he will start in 2 weeks. I am modelling the dragon. Thats so much fun!

Next step is to finish modelling, rig and texture the character. Do a layout-animatic and try some stylistic in 3ds Max. Well, that will be interesting, a CG "painted" animated movie?
