SMALLFOOT | MAIN ON END | CONCEPT A

Working on the pitch for this 3D animated movie was a delightful experience. The director expressed a desire for a visual aesthetic that diverged significantly from the film itself. Among the various concepts we explored, one stood out: drawing inspiration from paper puppetry shows. We envisioned a creative approach where the entire movie would be reenacted or summarized in the style of a paper puppetry performance. This concept offered a unique and engaging way to present the essence of the film while showcasing a visually distinctive and captivating aesthetic.

 
 
 

SMALLFOOT | MAIN ON END | CONCEPT B

In our brainstorming sessions for the pitch of this 3D animated movie, another compelling idea emerged: immersing viewers in a vibrant and surreal psychedelic world. We envisioned the main character navigating through a series of scenes, each more fantastical than the last. What made this concept truly exciting was the potential for the Bigfoot character to interact dynamically with the typography, drawing inspiration from the playful animation style reminiscent of the Pink Panther. This approach promised to captivate audiences with its whimsical charm and dynamic visuals, offering a fresh and engaging perspective on the film's narrative.
