About Me

My photo
I am a German Illustrator, Designer and Art Director working in the animation business for about 20 years. I currently live in Vancouver, Canada.
In this blog, I show my workbook for a few sequences on the German animated Feature:

KLEINER DODO (2008)
(German trailer:)

I workbooked probably more then half of the movie.
In this case Set Design was an integral part of the process.

(You can see more finished Set Designs on my
Portfolio-Page:
in the "Little Dodo"Gallery)

I didn't change the format for this blog:
This is how I presented the work to the studio.
(On other films, I delivered layers that were composited into a movie)

I hope you enjoy my work
-I did!

"Little Dodo" Workbook for Sequence 10

The first few pages are not actually really workbook.
Its my inspirationals for the opening sequence:
This is where the traditional workbook starts.
For every shot... 
(German studios call scenes: "sequence" and shot: "scenes")
...you will find the Background-Elements
(BG,Overlays and Underlays), The Reuse-Information
and the Camera Fields on the top of the page.

To see what the actual shot (with the characters) looks like,
you have to follow the "Panels"
