The Jester's Task...a Prelude

My newest animation, "The Jester's Task" is a short film has been in the works for quite sometime. It first came about when I was thinking about how my last short (ie my senior project) turned out quite poorly. It really struck a blow to the ego, because my film before that, "Billy and the Skeleton" turned out so well and still makes me proud to this day. To make a long story short, I found that I tried to do too much in too little time. And now that unfinished film has been scrapped, as all the work I had done was lost my old laptop was stolen in cruel twist of fate.

But not all is lost. I have been working on "The Jester's Task" for many months now and I have some material I can share with the world. I will be posting my progress gradually. There is still quite a lot to work on. If you are like me, you are just itching to see whats going on behind the scenes. I will leave you with a some concept drawings. My next post will put them in more context. Enjoy!
