Retro Rocket Ship Take Two

Rocket Ship Fire Test 2 from Halcyon-17 on Vimeo.

We wanted the rocket to have more of a paper puppet sort of feeling and the old flame wasn't quite right. Buying some trick birthday candles and a barbecue lighter, we had some fun compositing a homemade fire effect and shaking the rocket around like a wet noodle.

Props Update

The final prop assets are near completion. Below are the main props in our film. Again exploring a mix of photographic textures mixed with Photoshop painting to build our art style.

 

The ladder at the bottom of the tree. Also holding the first article of clothing lost

With the interior of the rocket ship we played with the concept of it resembling a uterus that would cradle him

Last the image we will use inside of the book he is reading. War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells

Prop Designs

Looking at the design of various props throughout the film. We started by exploring the critical props, mainly the rocket ship. Additional props will include things such as his hatchet, his book and the ladder.
