ChitChatClick's Heather character design.

character D drawing FIN

I was recently commissioned to create promotional poster material for a student film from Bournemouth University (UK) called ChitChatClick. The character design shows how the actors real likeness is captured through modern 3D animated 'cartoon' features. I also looked at Jason Brooks 'Fashionista' drawings for style and exaggeration. I gave her a contemporary high street sense of fashion referencing brands from H&M to NEXT to Debenhams which best reflected Heathers's personality. She is the slimmest of the 4 ladies and the creepiest looking so I played along those qualities. Mobile phones play an integral role in the screenplay so a level of interaction with the accessory was critical, referencing HTC p3470 smartphone for an authentic look.

The story revolves around four modern women who communicate via mobile but when they finally
meet face to face, all is not as it seems and things turn for the worse! Its short but sweet.

Shake your head

The only thing I regret is being myself That senseless scent of self. A familiar smell to the nose It lingers, it comes and goes. Shaking my head with regret A mind to a devil's pet, Trained for breaking heads. You can't run away from yourself I did something... My soul knows it doesn't belong My regret confirms it to be wrong. Face reality with change And embrace the pain Pick up what remains And start over again. So go ahead, Shake your head in regret A mind to a devil's pet. Go ahead
