Elliot Snapshots

A collection of photos from my 2007 short, Elliot.

Before Demolition

As a follow up to the downtown rooftop that I recently discovered had been demolished, I wanted to share some of the images from when I shot the original photo in downtown Medicine Hat in 2006.  Things to note include the first use of my old TV as a logo, my old '89 Buick from the Buick to the Future shorts, the marquee for the Towne Theatre lit up (since it closed shortly after), and a few more vantage points of the infamous rooftops that I've used as a backdrop for fandrix.   

Original Animation Storyboards

It was completely by surprise that I stumbled onto all six pages of the original storyboards I drew up for my Film 203 animation class that I took in 2004.  I honestly thought I'd lost them when moving and hadn't actually seen them in over five years.

I've previously shared the drawn backgrounds and actual film strip from this final project titled, Over at Grandpa's.  What's also exciting is that I recently purchased a vintage 16mm projector (still on route) to try and capture some of my remaining film school shorts that I haven't been able to play.  It's yet to be determined whether the film from this animation will hold up in the projector, but hopefully I'll be able to share some excerpts at the very least.  For now, it's just cool to be able to look back at all the work that went into this claymation that I never even got a chance to screen.
