Bernardo Carpio: Characters

August 2011 Works and Developments

Our FB Group has been very busy for the past weeks. Lots of concept studies and developments. This FB platform is really very helpful with our production set-up. Plus, we don't need to always print out materials and the documents and photos always come in handy any time. :)

Here's one photo I found while doing some archiving of my old hard drive and finding some old pix along the way. This photo was an ocular we had in Montalban from many years back -- the time when we were about to shoot my film "Aninag" (Light's Play). So I readily took the uploaded photos in our FB group for references for our backgrounds.

Who would have thought that after a number of years, after shooting a live-action fantasy children's film, I'll be going back to this very location to shoot a new short?

It's actually an animated film about the Legend of Bernardo Carpio, but there are minimal live action parts in the script. So, see you soon again, Wawa Gorge! :)

Rough Works and Juggling Around... May 2011

I've been working on the sequence treatment for the film, finalizing it, actually. And at the same time, I've been juggling in between researches, preliminary sketches, concept artworks, character designs, and background designs. All those on the side since professional works are really piling up (need to pay the bills!!). So I've been pretty much working on my free times for this indie project. It's very much like how the rest of the team are working. Like the rest of other Tuldok projects, it's always been a "virtual office" set-up given our limited resources. That's not something to stop you from doing things anyway ;-)

So far, I've been working online with my previous production designer for most of my other live action films for initial ideas on the costumes. I am also regularly working with the project's concept artist/background and set artist. I've been giving some updates and asking for creative inputs from my editor and art director/storyboard artist as well.

I'm starting to pile up on lots of materials from documents to artworks. Looking good!!

It's really a work-in-progress... but it's definitely taking some shape now. Ayos. =D
