The OH Concept Workbook.

Part reference manual, part inspiration tool...could even be considered a portfolio of sorts - the concept workbook is a physical representation of the movie's progress and contains a variety of different things.

Notes on motivations, reasons and ideas that formed the project. On the left is the programme handed out to everyone who went to the Bang! Film Festival last November. It's a nice reminder of how enthused the organizers were over OH.
My vision for the project, and what I have aimed to convey through it. Also a simple timeline for the OH universe. Mostly useful for the sequel, though a couple of things from it are referenced in the first movie too.
One of the many character reference sheets created to keep the animation on-model. These ones are of Elani Daemyn, two thieves that appear in scene 3 and a mysterious creature called a Dugota.

A couple of the many scenery references needed to give the backgrounds continuity throughout the movie. I have yet to complete all of these, as I decided to finish them off once the animation was in its final stages.

Test screener contracts, coupled with a list of some of the many post-screening edits I had to apply after studying the critique.

Some of the uplifting feedback on the movie, to keep me psyched.

And finally a couple of articles I found inspirational. The left hand one was about other solar systems with a similar structure to our own and the right hand one was about PIXAR's method of storytelling.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this little peek into some of Outcast Hero's underpinnings. If I manage to get to any conventions this year, I may even take the book with me.
