Art Director
- Éiru, 2025, directed by Giovanna Ferrari -
Éiru began it's international festival circuit at CLEVELAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL in April 2025!
I worked closely with Giovanna Ferrari, writer and director of Cartoon Saloon's latest short film. The film was made by a very small team of brilliant artists with a quick turnaround. My role as art director invloved creating concept images to help define the visual style of the film, creating colour scripts and overseeing the Layout, Ink & Paint, FX and compositing departments. I also completed all of the backgrounds for the 13 minute short based on Layouts by Antonia (Toni) Yordanova.
The backgrounds are a combination of digital ink linework and bespoke traditional artwork created for each background in both ink and charcoal. Colour and lighting was added digitally.
Other roles on the project include:
- Working closely with the supervisors of each department to communicate the film's visual style.
- Briefing new sequences with supervisors.
- Creating colour models for all characters and props.
- Providing 'mock stills' to guide the compositing artist towards final picture.
