Knights project

For this project, we designed the pre-production of a fictional movie. As a group of 6, we were given a general plot, taking place in Rouen (France) during the 13th century, as well as an artistic direction (Nimona 2023). Each of us was responsible for the design of a character, an environment, as well as a part of the storyboard.

My character is a youg blacksmith named Catherine! She is feisty and short tempered, and even even though she doesn't often show it, she truly cares about the people around her. Despite being the youngest of the group, her independant and responsible nature makes her one of the more level-headed and mature members of the cast. She can also be quite nerdy when it comes to armors.

Each of us also explored designs for the main antagonist, the Infernal Knight! This giant beast was summoned to win the annual joust, and allow Jocelyne, the villain of the movie, to ascend to the trone and claim the kingdom for herself. That is until Guillaume, the protagonist, joins the tournament to defeat the Knight.

For the Environement, i made an interprated version of the cathedral of Rouen, since they arent a lot of depictions of it during the 13th century. It serves as a setpiece for the arrival of the Knight, who emerges through the front doors during the pre-joust banquet.

The storyboard sequence I worked on is the fight scene between Guillaume and the Infernal Knight.
