Design and Layouts - Student Film

For our final year at school, we got to do our own short film.  I teamed up with a partner and worked on a project called Godmother.

As part of this project, I was the one to head the location design and supervise  (and handle the majority of) layouts.  There were two major locations, both of them interiors - A Fairy Godmother's home, and the bedroom of a spoiled princess.

All of the designs and layouts were done completely digitally in photoshop, from rough to clean.  The concept thumbnails were all done on paper in marker and pencil.

Layouts Work - Jam Filled Entertainment

This past summer, I had the opportunity to work with Jam Filled Entertainment, doing layouts for Camp LakeBottom.  It was a great experience and a fun show to work on.  Here is a sample of some of my work:

Location Design - City Park

This is a sample of location design that I worked on, as part of a 2nd year student film.  I had the pleasure of designing our city park location, from concept thumbs to final rough-clean designs.

The concept thumbnails were done in marker, and the designs were done in pencil.

City Park Pan

This City Park pan is from my 2nd year at Algonquin College as part of our final group film assignment.  I worked as location designer and layout artist and based my designs largely off New York's Central Park.

The artwork was done in pencil on full, 37" pan paper - from rough to clean.  I've included some concept and rough work, done in tonal markers.
