Lilo's Dog Pound

Welcome to my new blogsite. Finally I was able to find time to set this up. My first post is this layout that I did for Lilo & Stitch and probably one of my favorites. What makes this layout so special is aside from being huge (actual size is approx. 19" x 44"), it's one of those shots where you spend a whole week (with overtime) designing background and character layouts and figuring out camera mechanics as well then eventually the whole thing ends up barely three seconds on the screen. But that's alright. I had so much fun with it and very rewarding. If you look closely, the fun drawings that I put on the wall was originally designed by my very talented friend Marcelo Vignali who did an amazing work as a freelance visual development artist for Disney at that time. This is for the scene where Stitch was coming out of the pound. Jumba fired some shots from his blaster then Stitch jumps from the door on the right to the sign post (there's an animated sign hanging there), then to the branch, then finally ends up behind the rock on the left. This was done with B and 2B graphite pencils on smooth 24 fld animation paper.
