Tod Polson: The Book of Life: Galleon Parade Floats
http://todpolsonart.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-book-of-life-galleon-parade-floats.html
The Book of Life: Galleon Parade Floats. One of the areas I focused on in the "Book of Life" was the festive parade near the entrance to the "Land of the Remembered." Each float in the parade represented a different character from the movie. Here are but a few of the many sketches I made for the Galleon float. Above: My first sketches captured the fractured quality that the creative leads were looking for. but weren't that unique to the world of the dead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

El Tigre Concept: Grandpa's Crib. Above: Early sketches for Grandpa's Crib. A number of years ago Jorge Gutierrez. Asked me to create concept sketches for his show El Tigre. The goal was to create a bunch of fun visual ideas that I would then feed to the crew in Los Angeles. Since I was working overseas, I would basically have to pitch my concepts to the crew with lots of written notes etc. If Jorge, co-creator Sandra Equihua. Director Dave Thomas, and art director Roman Laney. More of Tods work.

Tod Polson: Cocoa Astronaut
http://todpolsonart.blogspot.com/2015/01/cocoa-astronaut.html
Above: A Cocoa Puffs commercial from House Special, directed by Aaron Sorensen. A while back I was asked to design a space themed commercial spot featuring Sonny and his "Koo Koo for Cocoa Puffs." Commercials can be a lot of fun because the schedules are short, and you often get to work in a style that you normally wouldn't. A few of the key sketches I created for the spot.

The Book of Life: 2D Flashback 002. Above: Some key color frames for the 2D bullfighting flashback. One of the key themes in The Book of Life. Was that the main star, Manolo, was unable to kill a bull in the ring. He did defeat a bull once however when it was struck by lightning. Which is the moment this key frame illustrates. Of course Manolo goes on to defeat the grandest bull of them all. with love. Below: Some color day time color exploration. Labels: book of life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
