movie: JANICE

April 28, 2004

A few scenes in this film involve a dog.  It starts out as a kind and then turns into a sort of hell dog that is decayed and mangled. 

Here is the dog, now I have to make it look like it was starved almost and hit with a truck.

Since I can not take a life cast of a dog, I have to build it from scratch.

A simple base to start laying clay over for more detail. 

There are to be a few versions of it.  One for detail close shots, one to be hit or slashed with a sword, another to be shot wide and more body movement. 

Another character is to be a demon that would almost be like a parasite.  It is now to be a  be a large ghost like creature but this is what I had in mind.  It was wrong but I am just going to leave it up here for now. 

   I was under the impression he wanted a small puppet to do a scene where the creature rips out of the back of the victim.

I scaled it to a small size with the idea of doing a raised platform, dummy legs, actors top torso, get the idea?

Little bit of detail.  Looks too much like a troll or goblin anyway.......   

It was to have a full head of long spiked hair's from the top crest on its head, down its back. 

I took a step back, called the director/producer before I went further.  I was nowhere CLOSE to what he wanted.

Bigger, Something like a combination of Alien, Species, Independence day.  Long head, something like dreadlocks/tentacles from its head, long arms, only from the torso up.  Like the comic character, Mephisto.  

Cool troll if I do say so!
