Moonwalker Update: Setnorm Guard

Trying to come up with other character designs. This is one Setnorm Corporation Guards, (Setnorm is an anagram for monster). So I had an idea of like a Robocop, Judge Dredd, Storm trooper mixture and what I have is a GI Joe Cobra Commander thing. lol

Moonwalker Reference

Finnally! I got my notes from Jon, so now I can really begin this project. We're going with a 50's Sci-fi feel so before I start redrawing my characters and props, I wanna make sure I know what that stuff looks like

More Ranger Danger Stuff

I shot footage of Ranger Danger playing Moonwalker last Friday night at Victory's. Figured it might be helpful for the music video. Pictures from that night are two post below

Moonwalker Reference

For my senior thesis, I decided to do an animated music video for the band Ranger Danger. After talking to them, or more Jon, on Friday, he told me he wanted to do Moonwalker, their first new single of the summer, and have it like a motion comic. Unfortunately that's all he told me and has yet to respond to my questioning about details so I am moving on on my own. I've been listening to the track over and over to get a broad idea of what's going on, trying to figure out the lyrics for the plot, and... will deal with character specifics when Jon gets back to me. (not sure if we're going to have the band or original characters). Not even too sure if I'm actually doing the artwork or just animating it. I think it will also be fun because it ties in with motion graphics, which I've recently fell in love with and want to pursue more. Little worried about the 3D elements though, but will deal with that when we get there.
I'm now (as I'm typing this) watching some examples of motion comics because, well I've never actually seen any. So far they seem really interesting and should be a cool beast to tackle. Here are some of the ones I've been looking act
