'The Witching Hour'- research

each of us in the group had to go and do our own research based on the story and the inspirations/styles we wanted to use.

here are some of the pages from my sketchbook and concept art.

'The Witching Hour'- Script

AHN SGIG - THE WITCHING HOUR

1. EXT. OUTSIDE THE BAR - TWILIGHT

On a dark and windy evening after everyone else has returned home, Ahn Sgig remains drinking in a dive bar outside of the ’Crogue Togue’ city limits. A clock outside indicates the time as 10:50 and posters that adorn every possible surface surrounding indicate the danger that begins at the hour of 11. They read:

"Beware the Snakes of Tambourine", "City Gates close at 11

sharp" and "Miss the gates and miss your soul!"

Ahn Sgig is finally kicked out by the landlord. He stumbles around in a drunken haze and realises the peril that he is in. He starts to head towards the city.

2. EXT. THE JOURNEY HOME - NIGHT

Ahn Sgig is well on his way home. Struggling to stay upright he hurries to get to the gates in time. He is oblivious to how close his predators are as they form from the shadows behind him. The atmosphere is tense. The backgrounds become a mess of abstract forms, Clocks ticking and more posters indicating the imminent danger. Soundtrack enhances the atmosphere and builds to a crescendo.

3. EXT. AT THE GATE - DEAD OF NIGHT

In the distance Ahn Sgig sees the gate still open. Elated, he speeds up relieved that he’s made it but as he approaches the sound of cogs indicate the start of its closure and before he gets to it, the portcullis crashes down. He pounds on the bars desparate to get in. Everything is all of a sudden very quiet, he has given up hope and will have to find a solution to his problem. Subtle shadows form around him. He sighs and turns around to realise he is surrounded by ’The Snakes of Tambourine’ who tower above him. He buckles in terror.

CUT TO BLACK.

Ahn Sgig and 'The Witching Hour'

For the 30 second animation I choose to work on a different project called 'The Witching Hour'.

Its about the character Ahn Sgig, whos is dead and is out drinking in a tavern on the outskirts of the city, Crogue Togue. He forgets about the witching hour, 11pm- midnight, and must make it back to the city before the Snakes of Tambourine appear to devour those left outside the city gates.

Here is the pitch my class mate, Ross, gave to us:
