Role: Conceptual Development
I assisted with conceptual development for the pitch of the 3D animated thesis film Dinosaurusology. This involved closely working with the director to create moodboards, sketch background concepts, sketch initial character design, ideate plot points, and assisting in color scripting. The film has been greenlit and is currently in production, set to officially screen in May of 2023.

Initial moodboards that I assembled based on the Director's instruction, to establish a visual direction and tone for the film.

an interior shot of a basement, featuring a mysterious time machine and various cluttered accoutrements of a genius scientist
exterior shot of a clearing at the edge of the jungle
These are all concept sketches of backgrounds for the main 3 areas that the film will take place. I created all assets in photoshop.
Initial character design sketches of the two main characters of the film.
3 color scripting tests for 3 dinosaur characters. Colors by myself, lineart by the film's director, Nico Warner.
More to come in April 2023!
