POPEYE

Last year I was quite busy working on the development of the Popeye feature at Sony Picture Animation, directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, and Scott Wills as the production designer. For a bit more than a year I had the opportunity - and a lot of fun- to do concept artworks and colour keys on the project, until it got on hold last December. At that time the movie was fully story-boarded and incredibly promising.

Here is the CG animation test that has just been released, based on a sequence that I colour-keyed:

In the video presentation, some of the images I've done can be seen on the walls of the studio:

Fingers crossed the project will go back in pre-production soon!
