Well making a stop motion animation is hard... even harder making it about a cat...s.
It all started with a short story call "Slum Cat" by Ernest Thompson Seton. It is a story about the life of an alley cat. It takes you on an emotional role coaster because of its brutal reality of life. Because of that it is not only for kids but for adults as well.
I felt the need to tell this story through a medium and stop motion animation just felt the natural way to go. But even though its a short film it still is a big production and an ambitious film to make which I needed the help of talented people.
The first people to come into the project were Julien Le Cocq (character designer, storyboard artist and animator) and Peter Sharp (character designer) who i worked with previously on a short 3d animation.
I must say first things that you need, especially for a stop motion film, is of course an idea, a script, but also very pretty pictures XD.
Concept art is the first job in the beginning of a film, it portrays the physical environment and also the feel of the environment so if you are a director who struggles to describe the environment through words just whip out the beautiful concept art and everyone will get it.
