Since the new term has begun at Uni we have been busy creating our film currently titled 'Boy Racer'. This short 2 minute film will make up the bulk of the work for semester B.
Concept
An audacious young boy wants to imitate his Formula 1 idol by racing his home built Formula 1 car down the hill outside.
The story was initially based on an idea of a boy pretending to be an astronaut by racing his sledge down the stairs at home. The idea was then refined through back and forth with the lecturers and team members to the concept above. We committed about a month to working out the story. Story is hard!!
The film will be set during 1975, a golden era for Formula 1 where James Hunt and Niki Lauda were battling for the title.
Character Design
Whilst designing Philip, the main character, I wanted to keep in mind his personality traits to help form the design. He's ambitious for his age of about 9, spritely, full of energy and somewhat foolhardy.
Initial shape exploration
Refining
Final turnaround (colours to be finalised)
Exploring some emotion
Some potential poses for the film
More updates to come!
