remarkably bright creatures
A self-initiated project inspired by Shelby Van Pelt’s heartwarming story about a woman’s unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. My brief was to create an animated title sequence for an imagined film adaptation of the book.
Student Project | 2022
Styleframes to indicate the look-and-feel of the animation.
Sketching out the storyboard to map the sequence of each scene and figure out the timings with the music.
Illustrations / stills from the animation.
Display art to promote the film on a streaming service, like Netflix.
Preliminary sketches to understand the octopus’ shapes and movement, and idea mapping of visual cues to build out in the sequence.
