Concept Art: Hallway of Marmorsaal Mici



The Marmorsaal Mici has an eerie, dilapidated feel to it. This concept is an early draft for a hallway leading into the theater. In this version, the roof opens to a starry sky.

Inspiration Sketch: The Hat




This is just an inspiration sketch I whipped up to convey, more than anything, Orsini's flourishing movements.

Hope you like!

Another Orsini Concept



This is an older concept I found on my computer tonight. It's pretty far off from where Orsini is now, but it's a sorta fun design I thought I'd share.

I've been working on a teaser poster I hope to have up in the next couple of days.

Orsini: A few quick sketches









These are just a few quick concepts for Orsini, our hero character. Seth Henderson will be doing the final concepts, so these is more "mood sketches" than Orsini's actual look.

Orsini's Hiatus

Orsini the Nosferatu has been on vacation while I prepared another secret project. That other project, which is unrelated to Stage Fright, is now complete, and will be posted here after it premiers in a month's time. Woohoo!

Stage Fright will still be a bit slow going as I handle some other unrelated issues (one of the many being more thoroughly preparing my own reel), but this is a project I believe in 100%, and preproduction will continue at whatever tempo the team can manage!

More to come soon!

Update! (Finally)

Hey All!
I'm so sorry for the delay in updates. Most of the team are (is?) finishing up at Animation Mentor this term (and other team members have had other awesome developments in their lives!!), so we've been moving a little slowly over the past few months. Once Summer comes around, we should have a more productive schedule.

I did want to give a small hint at the film we'll be making: The film centers around Orsini, a relative of the infamous Count Orlok, who's ambitions are of a different nature to those of his forefather.

I'm super excited about the story [it has lots of twists and turns!], and again, I can't wait to post more updates in the upcoming months!!
