Bluey ~ Colour Roughs pt.2 // Kids //
Kids was a really interesting challenge because we had to find a colour scheme for the supermarket that organised the busyness, worked with the characters, and didn’t create a cluster fuck of copyright issues :o)
As promised, the rest of the
#Bluey
S1 art!
Bluey Layouts pt.1 // The Creek //
The Creek was an enormous undertaking for everyone on the crew. Art direction took a month as opposed to the usual week. When the ep was completed, it was a real 'whoah, did we do that?' moment.
Bluey ~ Layouts pt. 3 // Bumpy & The Wise Old Wolfhound
I’m still proud of my Australian dad tier pun “Fairy Bread Godmother” on the window sill card B^)
I also learnt an unhealthy amount about the design motivations around Australian supermarkets during Shops. A lot of franchises have taken out the entrance gate that deters stealing and placed fresh bread and flowers there instead to create a better first impression upon entry.
So shoutout to the one supermarket interior designer watching who was probably super pissed off that we put in both. We needed it for acting purposes please forgive us! 🛒
My mum and I used to goof around and make “Andy Goldsworthy art’ (a land artist who works with natural materials) by putting leaves on rocks at creeks when we went travelling places. I wanted to bring some of those memories into this episode to make the spa shot really special 🍂
Bluey ~ Colour Roughs pt.3 // The Dump
A glowing, ephemeral Brisbane sunset to compliment the episode's themes of renewal and spirituality. Played out over Rode rd.....and a dump <3
Bluey ~ Colour Roughs pt.4.1 // The Creek
I don’t think in many preschool shows you get to colour-script a mood to reflect the arch of a story over 4 days. I really really enjoyed the challenge haha.
I wanted it to slowly creep, then crescendo, to this sad, bleeding pink in the “Au Revoir” scene. I felt really strongly about using pink to symbolise this huge poignant moment. I wanted pink to be a sad colour!
Then have it crash out into really desaturated cloudy blues to show Bluey’s devastation. This ep is such a big special one, I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as the crew did.
Bluey ~ Colour Roughs pt.5.3 // Camping //
Infinite possibilities and a family marshmallow sesh // That marks the end of all the stuff I'll show from S1. Thank you all for following along and supporting us! I feel v blessed to have art directed thru S1 since the very start.
