Grass bust

I needed to create a different section of the grass one that busts up to show the creature burst through. To animate this I decided it would be best if the paper went down and then burst up. To do this I put scrunched up balls of paper behind it and removed them after each take, this gives it the impression that it is moving in and out.




After I had done this I wasn't sure whether to change the colour of the grass from the start of the animation , initially I was going to go blue with it then I opted against this as it began to look more like an ocean rather than grass. I wanted to try and use a bizarre colour palette in the vain of U.P.A animations









Once I had created the grass next was the monster, This was a rough version of what it was going to look like I was very keen that the creatures were H.P love craft inspired much like Gulermo Deltoros work is.









The Frank Darabout Film the mist was heavily inspired by H.P love crafts monsters. I dont want to make them terrifying tho.
