finished art project

Well I have run out of ideas on how to change the beginning of this so will just submit it as it stands.

final project progress

So I am almost complete with the project. I am not 100% happy with the beginning scene of the movie but am coming to a creative blank so it may just stay as is. I created a fictitous college named consumption university. The story behind the story is that this is a college sponsored video that is released to recruit new students. The college's sole appeal is that it encourages partying. I created a logo design for the college as well and also made an animation for the beginning of the video that represents the school. Here are a few samples of the artwork. Everything was drawn in illustrator and colored in photoshop. I used different brushes to draw but mostly the caligraphy set worked best for me.

 I also drew an old style tv. Which is here...

 Here are the main character drawings that I did..

The unmotivated kid that goes to college is based on my middle son Jacob. Here is his image

I have some other things drawn as well like pizza boxes, beer, piggy bank and of course my character which I already posted.

project proposal

Project Title:  Little Johnny Goes To College

Project Summary: A creative and humorous look at college admissions videos. 

Project Format:   The format of this project will be mp4 video with sound.

Software Applications: With this project I will use Adobe Illustrator for drawing the characters and Adobe Photoshop for colorizing and editing the drawn and photo compositions.

Project Goal: The goal of this project is to shed some light on the stressful act of choosing the right college and then applying. I became encouraged to focus on this topic not only from my experience at ESC but also because my eldest son is beginning film school in the fall. The process of his schooling is far more stressful than my own, however shedding some light and making a few smiles in these brutal times is always a plus.

Presentation: My final project will be submitted to my blog with a link provided for all to see.

  A few early drawings of characters that I did for this project.

 These represent my motivation for 2 of my characters.

Here are my drawn renditions......
