#colourscript

I had an absolute blast doing the colourscripts for the homestuck pilot to get the vibe for the areas. I especially loved doing Dave and Rose's rooms, the monotoned palettes were very fun. It was such a different vibe from the Hellaverse so it challenged me a lot in that way.

And that's the second part from that concept art course! Here we could tackle our own universes and OCs if we had them and oh boy I do have some OCs!!!

Meet my dearest girls - Martha and Rose! (yeah u can kinda guess which one is Rose) Martha is a girl from future who stole an old time-travelling device and now is kinda on a run with fun Rose is an unlucky actress-to-be from 1910s who by a chance gets stuck with Martha on her adventures Chaos and drama ensue and all that

I’ve been thinking about colour scripting in animation (this article made my heart lurch by referencing the opening sequence of Up). I thought I was just avoiding narrative work, but turns out I first needed to picture the world I’m in.

We start the story at bedtime which should be fairly saturated but relaxing, not upbeat garish (I’m shielding my eyes from you, Minions). We need calm.

In dreamland, colour will be everywhere, feelings are all encompassing after all. The palette will align with narrative, acting as mood indicators.  Again, keeping it calm. I’m picturing mood dependant gradient skies from across the rainbow.

I love Luke Pearson’s Hilda, both the graphic novels and the animated series. The colour palette is beautifully understated and whimsical and, you guessed it, calm. The sky and the land unite to help focus attention on the action. 

It’s a world I feel both at ease and curious in, which is exactly what I’m after.

Now, totally inspired, I’m diving into story...

Bluey ~ Colour Roughs pt.5.1 // Camping //

I don’t think in many preschool shows you get to colour-script a mood to reflect the arch of a story over 4 days. I really really enjoyed the challenge haha. I wanted it to slowly creep, then crescendo, to this sad, bleeding pink in the “Au Revoir” scene. I felt really strongly about using pink to symbolise this huge poignant moment. I wanted pink to be a sad colour! Then have it crash out into really desaturated cloudy blues to show Bluey’s devastation. This ep is such a big special one, I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as the crew did.
