First of all, my english sucks, as always, sorry 
I’m more an animator than an illustrator, so , as abandoned stuff, I mostly have shorts…
A short film about cars… 1998
SOUL… the sequel… I did an animation: http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/anims/2000-10-15/soul.mpg but it was just the beginning of the story… Soul is about a couple that had a crash accident that let her in comma… (here finishes the animation I made) After searching lots of scientists, he found one that was trying to access human mind, so the guy entered the great mind world of her… it was too ambicious for a team made of 1 people, hehe, so I quited after watching The Cell, which was almost about that…
When my computer exploded, I was making a short-film about an old man trying to understand the reasons of Life itself… hehehe, I loose it all
El Anciano, this was a short film about a lonely old man… it took me a couple of months to get the first sequence… 
I “invented” a trick for this… cause I was not good enough to model a decent old man, but the environment, I modeled and texturized the shape… then I rendered the outlines of the shape, printed them and painted them frame by frame with pencil colors, without adding any value, just color… then I scanned the drawings and used the shadows of the 3D model to add value to my animated 2D images… I haven’t see this technique in another place, so I think is a cool abandoned stuff material… it was so hard to do that I stoped it, but I want to continue with the technique.
The story was about this old man in his old brown room, in his chair, balancing, in front, a sphere appears, it reflects exactly the same room, but white instead of brown, instead of he, an old woman… he gets up from his chair and goes walking to the sphere, he touches it, white cross fade to the old man and woman hugged together, the camera rotating, they portrayed in “all” of the painting styles since cavern times… then white cross fade to his eye, boom up, they are sketched in paper, they are both babies, growing while the camera goes backwards them, in the front, the sun, they get old and in an instant they become 2 grey spheres, and everything has thousands and millions of grey spheres, brighter, as they as closer to the white center which was the sun… The camera goes backwards everything ends in the sphere in the old brown room, the room is empty, the spheres hit the ground, fade-out
It would be cool to make this last short, but my 2 people company is a little time-consuming :shrug:





– and I really liked painting the guy’s face
Oh well. Maybe I’ll get back to the idea one day, when I’m a better painter, and when I am clever enough to do backups, eh?
