Character Designs.

Here are some sketches of character designs I came up with for my project.

Ignore the text on most of them, some were for a previous idea.




these are ideas for the animals in the zoo, as for the villain of the movie:



A deranged Vet who kidnaps animals from the zoo and performs experiments on, often killing them by accident, he gets away with it by editing security footage and framing night guards by leaving animal cages open saying they escaped. He always has his camcorder with him which he uses to record the horrific experiments he conducts.


The Camera he uses.


An idea I had for a scene in which the "hero" (the mouse) is captured by the villain.

I welcome any and all comments and suggestions.

My Given Words

A new project! That means more words from the magical blue box.
The words I have been given are:

Executioner.
Zoo.
Camera.

I've already written down a few ideas such as having the executioner as a vetinarian who puts sick animals to sleep which causes fear in the animals who all end up thinking the vet is some angel of death type character.

Camera rigging and movement.


With this one I took too long trying to make it smooth and so I started to rush and... well it turned out poor. Especially towards the end.


This one was a simple panning shot.
