How totally cool! I'm all over that! I'm going to watch it this weekend and get some ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good project. Right away I think what shape? Do you say, can't be Skeleton skinny, that would compete with the main guy and girl. Are there too many triangles already in the film? Maybe round shapes aren't scarey enough, except for pumpkins. Yes, must think more better.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to wait for the "All the President's Men" character design contest. That's where I'll shine.
