Animatic nature of death

This week i have been working on the animatic and storyboarding, i have been mostly adding colour along with Rachel to give the animatic a first draft so we can look at the animatic and see what needs work. i have added sound to the animatic so we can start to think about sound effects and what music will work.

what i've been up to this week

This week has been quite hard as my internet at home has been off now for two weeks making researching very hard i have managed to start the block out for the environment and helped james with the end of the thumbnails, today the group hope to start work on the animatic and final story boarding. I am hoping to get the final timetables done for the group and i have alrady collated a document listing the names of everyone working on the project do i can organise what they are working on and when.

A Vision of Death

Here are some examples of what i am working on at the moment, the first image is of Bob is a ghost Grim meets very early on i imagined him as a world war 1 soldier. the second image is a floor plan of the retirement home so we can begin to plan where grim will move and camera shots. i am currently working on several roles for the group so i have been jumping from project to project anyway here is some work.....

I met the reaper

This week I have been ill so hav'nt managed to do as much work as i would have hoped. i am confident that my group is on schedual. i have been doing mostly concept and research for the residential home as the main environment of the film. I have tried to do some concept for the environment using the game "the Sims" to design a working concept for the building. the next stage for me after getting back on my feet is to focus on the floor plan and begin a very rough block out of the environment.

1,2 Death is coming for You

Hello Again for this post i am going to give you a short version of the story so far as crreated by James-Dean Summerfield.

ok so the story begings in a graveyard with Death(Grim) rising from his tomb he heads for the gate for is job of reaping souls, while heading for the gate grim sees a ghost, the ghost says "hi Grim!" and grim responds with "HI Bob!".

The next scene sees grim at his target location for the day the nearby retirement home grim takes out his P.D.A to get the name of the soul he has to reap today, as he looks at the screen the P.D.A crashes and grim is unable to find the name so he decides to go inside and wait for someoe to die.

Inside the retirement home grim sits and waits, during his time at the home the resident keep having accidents but never die frustrating grim.

the final scene sees grim leaving the home and taking his frustration out on an oncoming jehovas witness to meet his quota for the day.

My First post

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am currently working on a comedy animation Film about the Grim Reaper so dont worry about the title of the blog im not dieing!


The main core of the group consists of James-Dean Summerfield and Rachel Senior and myself as a 3d Modeller, I am very pleased to be working on this project as the story appealed to me and i have a good team to work with.


so far I have started to reseach retirement homes as it is the central location of the animation and I have also started to look at assets for the film.


I hope to post some of my research soon
