Progress on The Last Man on Earth.

 The Last Man on Earth came home one day,
he reached for a match, and a match was given to him.

Currently the project is going smoothly, or at least it is on the animation front. I still need to figure out how I'm going to transition in certain scenes, but I'm sure I'll think of something.



 As you can see I'm going for a more orange (ahem) look with this animation, similar to my 2007 short Jitters, though I think achieved much better.


Here's a closer look at the car (and our titulat Last Man) shown in the first image. I'm not so much setting a date for the film as I am a visual style. I'm of course taking a lot of liberties with the two sentence story here, as two lines isn't terribly much to work with. The cities appear to be more stone than steel at the moment, whereas the Last Mans house is more abstract. I can say despite the somewhat 20's style, he does have a TV. And quite a few large, empty rooms.

As far as soundtrack goes, I'm thinking desolate, and rather lonely, but detached. I would be thrilled if anyone had any suggestions for songs to be used. So far, I have a few songs I'm considering using:



I also really want to use Who Saw Him Die? by Ennio Morricone as sort of a main overture, however I can't find it on Youtube anywhere - I can confirm it's on Spotify though, if anyone wants to check it out. Like I said, at the moment I am most open to suggestions relating to music, if anyone would like to help me out. Finally,

I am stuck with this image. I can't find a moment where it makes sense for The Last Man to visit the sea - I was originally planning on having him drive past, but it doesn't make much sense in context. Perhaps I'll use this image as a title card.

as always, all criticisms and recoomendations will be greatly appreciated.
