Talking with God, starring.....GOD!

For a production class, two buddies and I had to come up with an animated short in an 11 week span. The only requirement was that the theme be 'dead celebrities' (this was just after that weird week where it seemed like all our celebrities were dropping dead, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett, etc). We came up with the idea of God hosting a talk show in heaven and having guests come on. We decided on using Micheal Jackson, Billy Mays and Ed McMahon, along with God and the Devil.


Here are some character concepts I came up with for the production. 
We decided to go with my designs for the Devil and Michael Jackson so I whipped up a couple quick turn arounds, Michael Jackson I just went with a more stylized version of himself 
and for the Devil we turned him into a sort of Hollywood Agent type character 


Here is the animatic created from my storyboards for the short

Annnnnnnnd the final animated short! the animation was done in about 6 weeks or so, I worked on the MJ dance sequence and the bit with the devil at the end. This was my first time really working in Flash, it turned out alright if i say so myself.

Well, it looks like thats it for now, come back for more later!
