At some point in the “Demons to Diamonds” music video, MC (Main Character) walks through an Old Folks Home. Brad Kerr has been drawing up some pretty haggard looking elderly people to populate its hallways.

The footage above shows some wallpaper, lighting and character tests. The animated walk cycle makes no sense … there are some perspective issues with wheelchair character … the animation of the characters is terrible … MC is not the real figure we decided on and he’s missing an arm and both legs come out of one side of his body …

BUT

… let’s not talk about the flaws …

This test scene helped me develop the 2D/3D look of the film. Brad hand draws the characters and physical objects in the movie and I slap them into the forced 3D perceptive and animate them. It’s funny how far little touches like the running boards against the back wall go toward creating an environment. I like the wallpaper and floor tiles I through in there.
