orchard pig development.

whilst cal my partner is creating the animation i decided to take the time to create the beer matts.

the original idea was to draw beer matts that worked together when put together. a little story board, a narrative to it. the original idea was to have a bunch of pigs walking through the country side, into a pub then into a pint glass. like the pint glass in the animation. 

below i drew out the hole scene then i made a box representing the beer matt around what i wanted to apear on the matt. 

below was a few roughs and thumbnails that support my drafts above. it was here were i realised i should keep the narrative to the animation. pigs marching across the counter into a pint pot. 

i have been victim of the phantom blog post! in result i no longer have the roughs or the screen shots of the journey. i did have all them once i had screen shots of roughs i had made supporting my new beer mat idea (as i speak about in the above) below are the inked pictures that i scanned in and digitally coloured on photoshop. i did have screen shots of these and the final results of them. i had blogged all of them and now the blog post has vanished...so again i must have not done something right when posting the blog. my computer common-sense  isnt the best.

so below is the best i can give you- 

above- pig bar man sees pigs running across counter.

above- i moved the pump to the other side of the shot in tis to represent movement of both the running pigs and the pig bar man. i wanted the bar man to look as if he is following the pigs.

above- the pigs crawl up the pint glass and dissolve into the cider.the bar man watches and is happy with what there doing.

below- when i was digitally colouring these scenes in i was around half way finishing the third and final matt, and i realised that the image was stronger on its own. the bar man cleaning his pint pot looking at his cider well proud! the narrative looks as if he has just finished creating the cider and is cleaning up and looking of at his proud handy work. so i decided to leave the other matts and stay with this one. because its looks stronger on its own, and because the brief states that it wants to show its roots and its created in summerset! and i think this shows home made for sure with the narrative of the image.

BOOOOOM! YUP i did that using photo shop!
