Bogeyman
This short film, simply entitled ‘Bogeyman,’ is a dark, CG animated fairy-tale, packed full of horror and things that go bump in the night. The film essentially revolves round a modern reimagining of the mythical bogeyman creature that has in many cultures been used by adults to frighten children into being obedient.
The team at Flipbook had to work on the animated short in-between client work, but went about the production as they would any other game, advertising or broadcast job for their clients. Starting with script writing, character and environment concepting and storyboarding as part of the pre-visualisation stage, they then built and animated everything in 3D, including the characters that were carefully sculpted in great detail in Zbrush. It was important to Flipbook to also collaborate with a few other companies who could provide specialist services that they didn’t offer in house. Manchester based Mocapone provided motion capture services for some of the scenes and London based Zelig Sound produced the music composition and sound design. Salford City Radio also recorded the films radio script for the film.
Put this on full screen, grab some headphones and scare the hell out of yourself. Good luck sleeping tonight…
