Here is another piece from Jared Wikeepa on the creatures in the spirit world.

Hi Ken,
I’ve been following this thread since you plugged it in the Kekai Kotaki thread. Just wanted to say this is some very cool stuff. I especially like Jared’s work as well as the water/cliffs painting by Matt Forsyth. Some excellent atmosphere there. It’s also exciting to see someone bringing a slightly different (Maori in this case) point of view to their project. Thanks for introducing this! I’m looking forward to seeing how this project progresses!
Some updates from our Art Director . Also thanks Crotalis it is exciting seeing it slowly come to life. With the help of others we can do so much.


More concepts for when Irirangi finds the flame inside the temple. Animatic is coming along nicely as well.

Here is a great piece by Jared Wikeepa continuing to make great art for this project.

And another piece by Ejiwa Ebenebe.

Hey everyone, we have finally finished our 2D Animatic for the short film “Irirangi the spirit talker”. The short started Pre-Production roughly 3-4 Months ago and it has evolved so much since then. Check out our animatic on the Irirangi Youtube channel and any updates on the artwork via our webpage www.irirangithespirittalker.weebly.com
The 2D animatic was quite fun to watch, even something painted in that style (with more polish) would make a superb film, would require a lot of hand drawn work tho. I’ll keep an eye on this project, looking forward to the 3D wip, if you plan on sharing some of it with us.
Cheers guys. Thanks for following. I really look forward to making this film come to life. We will be looking into applying for funding in departments we can’t cover ourselves. example. Sound HD mastering, Compositing HD etc.
But are looking to start Production in the next 3 weeks
Heheh…that’s the fun part. 
What you guys have in your art looks like it could be epic as a film.
the Pdf script you sent us for this film are you going to be creating storyboards for it as well???
We have already done 90% of the Pre-Production not something we can actually post up here. Too big a file and too much info for others I think. All concepts, environment concepts, visual treatment, storyboards, developed script much more since last you saw it. All done thanks to the people who helped and contributed late nights, early mornings to meet our deadline for the application.
Looking forward to the updates,are you guys still in the concepting/pre-production stages???
