First pass of our storyboards/colour script.

CHARACTER DESIGN - MUTANT BULL

Final character concept artwork by Hasya Adly

The mutant bull was first developed via photobashing. After refinements, Zbrush was used to create a 3D model of the creature.

The model was then hand-painted in Substance Painter.

TEXTURING - COWBOY

Final character sculpt by Kathy Tan

The cowboy model was also hand-painted in Substance Painter.

ENVIRONMENT

The initial concept of the environment is an abandoned old western town which the Mutant Bull inhabits. It features many run-down or broken wooden shops and houses scattered along a linear street.

Final houses modelled by Ng Kai Jie

The houses were hand-painted in Substance Painter to match the style of the characters.

House models set up in Unreal Engine 5.

EDITING

Music creation

Video Editing

The final touches were crucial to our animation's essence as a western-style animation. An original instrumental song was created on Garageband as a backing track for Bullshoot, mirroring the 60s spaghetti western style. All the elements were then arranged on Premiere Pro with 60s sound and visual effects, interspersed with modern animation style impact frames for a stylistic twist.
