With the current pandemic requiring us to shelter-in-place, I decided to dust off one of my old scripts and see if some progress can be made towards producing this as an animated short film. The script is just over 9 pages long and will be provided to animators that I think may be a good fit. I have been working with a potential director who would be shot-listing the script for a potential animator to begin storyboarding the film.
ALL IN HER HEAD is about a young woman who suffers from chronic headaches which then manifest in the form of a horrible creature that psychologically and physically terrorizes her. Chronic headaches leave many sufferers imagining that they have been cursed. Often undiagnosable, with potential treatments and medications not resulting in success, and family and friends not empathizing, the victims are left feeling confused and alone. What if the explanation was something other-worldly?
I am seeking an animator to help drive the short film from pre-production towards final product. For this project listing, only the following steps will apply. - Character, prop, location designs - Storyboards - Animatic
Future steps, that will be contracted under one or more separate project listings: - Layout - Key Animation - In-betweens and clean-up
The film will have an undertone of horror, so I would like a style that is appropriate. I prefer a style that is more like traditional hand-drawn (fluid/cel) rather than flash animated (vector-based). A few examples of styles that I look at as potentially being a good fit: Seymour - https://vimeo.com/139000404 Don’t Let Them In - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHaH_f6a2CM Afternoon Class - https://vimeo.com/215498188 Spawn the Animated Series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsOsrjPp_WE But being early in the process, I am certainly open to other stylistic approaches.
