<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Inspired by Gaudi's<i> La Sagrada Familia </i>in Barcelona, Spain. I also used reference from photos from Sandra and Jorge Gutierrez's romantic trip to Spain and other designs from Gaudi. The challenge was to keep the Gaudi asthetic in the shape language of the Land of the Dead (later called the Land of the Remembered). </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The entryway to La Muerte's castle went through several design iterations, from a large skull whose mouth opens for entry to a giant sacred heart/tree of life with a lego-like doorway.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The final version of La Muerte's Castle Doorway came about by trying to get the design to fit in the HD 1:1.78 aspect ratio. A majority of the drawing was manipulated in Photoshop using the transform tool and then redrawn. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In designing the interiors, I noticed shapes that reminded me of "The Lorax" from Dr Seuss. I embraced that and pushed the Seuss quality to keep things magical, light and yet, mysterious. La Muerte is a goddess and her power should be felt in the majesty of the structure. Jorge wanted the interiors to feel open and massive. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The Gaudi cathedral interiors are the same way. Many of the pillars in the cathedral are designed as huge trees, so I kept that idea and the "swirl" design from the Gustav Klimpt "Tree of Life" (La Muerte's castle exterior). The floating pillars inside the castle now look like a forest with a canopy of prayer flags above. </span></span><br />

My first assignment from the writer/director, Jorge Gutierrez, was to design movie posters to help pitch the film to prospective distribution partners. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I didn't know much about the original story (at that time) except that it involved the life and death of a matador, Manolo and his love for his childhood friend, Maria. The story was similar to Romeo and Juliet, but continued beyond Shakespeare's tragedy. The idea of love from beyond the grave inspired the following images...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This poster design (Concept 1) was the first image I had in my head. It depicts Manolo in a traditional matador pose surrounded by victory roses in a pool of light, and skulls in the shadows. The source of the "light" is a portrait of Maria, shown as a window to the living world. Manolo is a skeleton. Manolo's bullfighting victory is bittersweet. This is my favorite of the designs I had done because it concisely portrays the story in a simple image. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This concept was inspired by the balcony scene in <i>Romeo & Juliet</i> and some of the posters for <b><i>West Side Story</i></b>. There are more concepts illustrated here, from the pool of light with the victory roses to Maria being the source of "light". The difference here is the roses are at the bottom of a grave and Maria is seen reaching into the same. The graveyard is seen behind Maria. Calavera skulls are shown in the shadows and ancestral bones are layered in the walls. The roots from the ceiling share the shape language of Maria's hair and are shown sprouting tiny hearts (a symbol of hope).</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is another favorite. The concept of the bull skull resembling the "sacred heart" (a popular Mexican symbol) came together nicely. The one image telling different sides of the same story was exactly what I was looking for. </span></span><br />

The drawing suggests the "den" is not too far underground (due to the low hanging roots) and perhaps "Car Fox" has been stealing computer equipment and internet from the neighborhood to operate his data center. The spiral staircase and circular design are a nod to SPECTRE and the early Bond films. </span></span><br />

The vehicle would be built as a motion control ride in a 360 degree projection environment. Having worked on a few 'time travel" projects in the past, I chose to focus on realistic details and authenticity. My drawings were influenced by deep ocean submersibles and the pods from <b><i>2001: A Space Odyssey.</i></b> </span></span><br />

With only a brief synopsis and a lot of imagination, I did some quick comps. I started in the entertainment industry in 1988 working as an Ass't Field Publicist for Warner Bros Publicity. My first assignment was Tim Burton's Batman! I designed posters, standees, mobiles, buttons, cards, etc for many of Warner Bros releases for the next year and a half. I learned a lot from that experience and Warner Bros Publicity was the best in the business. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Getting someone's attention from across a crowded room was key. I used that same logic for this design assignment. I wanted these poster to stand out from the other posters in a lobby. A good thriller should ask more questions than it answered, I think the poster should do the same. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The previous is one of my favorite designs from the series. It portrays a nanobot/skin mite in an "x-ray" macro view. The composition suggests the mite is some strange alien in an environment suit. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The simplicity of the composition adds to the shock value. It's easy to read and the images stays with you after. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I tried to keep the new designs simple and historically accurate to the period. I pursued a "rustic elegance" in the look to contrast with the life the turkeys were living in their underground village.

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Visibly, the concept for the technology the time facility used was based on the research of Nikola Tesla, supposing the US Government made a secret deal with Tesla after the world adopted Edison's theory for the transmission of electricity. My feeling was, the very existence of a time machine validated an parallel universe. 98% of the world in "Time Turkeys" would be recognizable, the rest would be an altered reality. </span></i></span><br />

<i><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This view (upper) of the Mayflower was to show how the pilgrims established a foothold at Plymouth Rock. I thought it would add a lot of interest to the Plymouth village if we treated the location like they were castaways, surviving by using the building materials scavenged from their ship. The buildings would be made of hull timbers and decorated with sail, rigging and rope. The true story of the Mayflower is however, it returned to England and was dismantled. These locations were cut, early on, from the script and the Mayflower is never seen in the film. </span></span></i><br />

<i style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> In 2009, I had the pleasure to work at Warner Bros (again) on a new Tom & Jerry project. This "direct to dvd" feature was directed by an old friend, Jeff Siergey. I had worked with Jeff on many projects over the years, from Tiny Toons and Animaniacs to Space Jam. Spike Brandt (another old friend from WB) would produce and serve as creative consultant on the film. I was brought in to Production Design the "Tom & Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes" (<span style="color: black;">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1722638/</span>) and deliver a look that was inspired by the old MGM Tom & Jerry shorts of the </i><i style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1940s, in particular... "Dr Jeckle and Mr. Mouse" (1947) and "Mouse In Manhattan" (1945). In my opinion, these two episodes represent the best of the series and we arguably the MOST memorable. </span></i><br />

<i style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> No coincidence that this project was being developed at the same time Guy Ritchie's, "Sherlock Holmes" was being filmed with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. As images of this exciting new film were being released, our crew was surprised at the similarities of the two productions and their content. I initially thought of setting the film in the earlier years of Homes' investigative work, 1880-85... but seeing the set pieces from the Ritchie movie caused me to rethink the period and include a version of the London Tower Bridge under construction. This would place the two films in the same world. That would be just the beginning of references to the Holmes world of film and literature. I tried to include a reference to Tom & Jerry or Sherlock Holmes in almost every design. At this point, the Production Design took on a life of it's own. </span></i><br />

<i>"West In Pieces" was the last episode (#606) of The Powerpuff Girls. I had the GREAT opportunity to design all of the backgrounds for the finale to a terrific series. This episode was very different from any prior, because it takes place in the Old West and the characters are all reimagined for the 1860s period. I really enjoyed redesigning all of the iconic locations with a western influence. I worked with the great storyboard artist, Chris Reccardi and background painter, Chris Rozak to design the look which I describe as a "Western Little Golden Book". This episode aired as a Season 6 (Episode 7) cartoon on July 30, 2004 as a rare 2 part... most episodes were :11 min each. </i></div>

<i style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We worked on the series at the same time the movie was in production. The series allowed me great freedom to continue exploring the look of the film established by <b>Andy Gaskill</b> and <b>Bruce Zick</b>. I learned a tremendous amount about the history of Greece and Greek Mythology. It was really important for me to stay true to the source material (Hercules style guide) and pay homage to the Greek art and architecture of the 8th to 6th centuries BC.</i><br />

<i>In 2004, I was hired at Cartoon Network to work on a new series in development, "Juniper Lee". This was a great opportunity for me to reunite with some old animation friends, <b>Alan Bodner</b> (Warner Bros Classics, Iron Giant), <b>Frank Squilacci</b> (Big Guy and Rusty), <b>Steve Lewis</b> (Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, WB Classics) to create the look of a new series from a blank page. To that date, the shows I had worked on at Cartoon Network were all well established visually (Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack)... so I was anxious to try something new. </i></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<i>I had a few interesting design issues to address with "Juniper Lee": first, the show took place in San Francisco, a challenging location to draw for tv with its elegant architecture and rolling hills. Second, the show starred characters of Chinese origin... I wanted to make sure this interesting aspect of design was NOT overlooked. Third, the main characters were "witches"... this was the most exciting and inspired part of the design challenge. I took these three ingredients (San Francisco Victorian architecture, Chinese design motifs and witchcraft) and tried to serve each visually. I really grew to like the design direction the show was going in. I had the rare chance on this show to really explore a few locations in complete detail. By the second season, I had won an Emmy for Background Design on "Juniper Lee" (the only one in the series). </i></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can see a big influence of my prior work in these designs. Warner Bros classic cartoons (<b>Maurice Noble</b>), <b>Dan Krall's</b> art direction on "Powerpuff" and my own affection for bold shape and strong silhouettes were a big inspiration for me. This is a small cross section of the background designs and visual development for the series...</span></i><br />

<div style="color: #45818e;">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;">In one of the last versions of the script for the film, "Jack & Ben", our main characters travel to a location referred to as "Pinecone Peak". I was asked to explore the look of this location.<br />
<br />
At first, I designed some pretty realistic locations, as based on the storyboards... but then I thought, "how do the birds know what Pinecone Peak is? They can't read a map!" So that's when I was inspired to do something more literal and surreal. "Perhaps the peak is named for the bizarre way it looks, not because of the trees on its surface!" That is how I came up with the designs for this location. As you can see, some are more subtle than others. I would like to see all of them in an animated film. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;">From 2006-2009, I worked on a CG animated film called, Jack and Ben at Laika Studios. The project was never completed and CG animation production was stopped. During that 2 and a half year period, I had the great fortune of being able to pursue a number of different styles for a single film.<br /><br />What you see here are the fourth and fifth iterations of design for this film as directed by Barry Cook. </span> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;">I spent a number of weeks exploring tree shapes and textures. I wanted to find a unique way of distilling a particular species of tree into it's most basic shape language. These are some of those explorations.</span>El Fredericohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12447368976101845695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212376678508641297.post-53627856324861390682010-05-30T00:46:00.000-05:002015-09-27T16:59:50.304-05:00MORE Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot - Production Design<img alt="" border="0" height="259" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476935923134812418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkwhlJDsYGCqWffxIO5zUKI_uQ7kfMWhFL5Me82uTLYatco5deLbNwAmH4CdKZTRmsUbIPoBzBa5ByfAsS_5hfg4pOakB1bfZ-VanrUqr2TiCORhSEgYY5AvwlNKhs5tS60lgwG7gBhj0/s400/032Big+Guy5.jpg" style="display: block; height: 259px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" width="400" /> <br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Here is some more of my work from the series "Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot". The series never aired all of the episodes created for both seasons. It's run was cut short because Fox executives deemed the series to be too violent! I guess they had never seen the comic book on which this series was based.</span> <span style="font-family: verdana;">Some of the designs here are from the "lost" second season. All of the episodes can be found on on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U6yvbgtVm0). </span> <span style="font-family: verdana;">As the series progressed, the writers penned episodes that took our characters to locations never seen in the comics created by Geoff Darrow and Frank Miller. The comic series originally took place entirely in a futuristic version of Tokyo. The animated series took place in a fictitious metropolis called, New Tronic City which was a stylized merging of Tokyo, New York and Chicago of the future. It was a challenge to continue this detail-heavy production design in a primordial jungle or underground volcano complex, but I think we succeeded. </span>El Fredericohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12447368976101845695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212376678508641297.post-29820174841691078502010-03-22T17:23:00.000-05:002015-09-27T16:59:32.937-05:00Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot - Production Design<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNn50uxj0UjLc2pMUrNj3WWg6cYQM5jC_s15rgUlieyQXYgRt5C-D8HFu2NpQ9e9-z-PvOl6nYhD5yD_c3_phmZF3uj7dP-QPh30tI-mj6abiTUnUipk8v7wZEXTjZqa_oPhuBmNmsg20/s1600-h/030Big+Guy3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="259" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451592424049808946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNn50uxj0UjLc2pMUrNj3WWg6cYQM5jC_s15rgUlieyQXYgRt5C-D8HFu2NpQ9e9-z-PvOl6nYhD5yD_c3_phmZF3uj7dP-QPh30tI-mj6abiTUnUipk8v7wZEXTjZqa_oPhuBmNmsg20/s400/030Big+Guy3.jpg" style="height: 259px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></a><br />

<div style="color: #45818e;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">After my work on "The Iron Giant", I was hired to work on a new show at Sony Television, "Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot" (1999). To this day, it remains the most challenging and painstaking production I have worked on.</span></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">The show was based on the comic, "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot" by Geoff Darrow. My job was to design the animated series to directly reflect the look and style of Geoff Darrow's incredible drawings from the comic series. I had been a fan of Darrows for years and was excited at the prospect of bringing this great comic to tv... WITHOUT watering it down!</span></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">As you can see from some of my designs, I was also heavily influenced by "Hard Boiled". I used elements of both in the show and lots of 1940s and 50s car parts. Each background designer on the show had to design and rough out his own background. After it was approved by me and the director, the designs were inked! This is a departure from Geoff Darrow's comics which are finished in a very soft pencil. Inking the designs allowed us to maintain a continuity in the overall look.</span></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">Sadly, the show was canceled before all 24 episodes were aired due to the extreme violence portrayed. Go figure?</span></div>

<span style="color: #3366ff; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;"><br /><span style="color: #666666;">Early in school at CalArts, I learned to watch for tangents in my designs. My instructors, Bob Winquist and Mike Giamo, would train us to recognize these design errors and avoid them at all costs.</span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">As I studied animation throughout the years, I noticed some artists would intentionally create tangents to make a design statement. The result is, in my opinion, visually striking. I started using this "Contour Continuation" technique as a background designer at Warner Bros Classics. Contour Continuation is the lining up of shapes to continue a contour (or directional element) across the composition. Sometimes this technique is extremely successful and beautiful, other times, it is subtle and almost invisible. </span> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;"><br /><br />This background design was for a theatrical short, "Nina the Hyena", directed by Disney animator, Dave Kuhn. The look was graphic and stylized. The environment was the African savanna during severe drought. My challenge was to create something visually unique that did NOT resemble "The Lion King".</span><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">I have used "Contour Continuation" to create a flowing rhythm to the composition. As the camera pans through the scene, the landscape "flows" by the camera like water so lacking in the environment. The final effect resembles a heat wave. Pay particular attention to the dead tree branches hugging the contour of the hills behind them.</span> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Production Design: Frederick Gardner</span>El Fredericohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12447368976101845695noreply@blogger.com2
