“Queen Poppy sets off to Bergentown to save her friends, confident she’ll make it back alive…”

The concept art gifs I pitched to Mike and Walt before hand building. The second part didn’t make it into the movie.

Hand built scrapbook stills from Trolls. This was apart of Poppy’s matchmaking plan for Bridgette and the King. Materials include faux fur, styrofoam, wool, felt, embroidery, glitter, sculpy, sponge, foil, paper, cork and gems.

This is part of the Trolls opening sequence. Concept art and fabrication by Me, AFX animation by Erik Tillmans and storyboards by Joel Crawford. Each asset was hand built with felt, paper and embroidery.
My process started with presenting an animated gif to directors, Mike Mitchell and Walt Dorhn. Painting and working with the animation tool in Photoshop allowed me to design fluidly. I evaluated the story boards to plan out camera movement and work out character action. I knew the camera needed to push in through the dead Troll atop the cage, so I designed the town path to compliment this movement. Next, I focused on the buildings and set dressing. Bubbly poo shapes felt appropriate for Bergentown, while my colors needed variation within the muted palette. The real challenge of this piece was to find the exact materials that reflected the tonal range in grays and browns. I reserved my blacks for the cage and full saturation for the Troll Tree as it represents happiness. The result was three separate backgrounds, six hero buildings that could be flipped and duplicated in interesting ways, three Troll Trees, cages, and various set dressing assets. Each asset was photographed separately, edited and composited. For each scrapbook peice, I would deliver a psd packet to Erik to animate.

My solo show ‘Chado: Dreaming In Texture’ is opening TODAY!
See it at @leicesterprintworkshop 12th September - 7th November. Here are some photos from the install earlier this week featuring lovely staff members from the workshop who were extremely helpful during the set up. Thank you
.

The show will centre around my short film ‘Chado’ which combines digital 2d animation with printmaking. A series of risograph prints and solar etchings made during the production of the film will be displayed, as well as sketchbooks and the projection of the final film.
At the moment exhibition is open by appointment due to the COVID distancing guidelines. Email [email protected] to book a day for your visit. The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday 10am-5pm.
