1st part of the story line


1. Outside, thunderstorm, looking into a barred window.
2. Getting closer and closer to window, seeing the a scientist by candle light
3. Camera Pans down onto him writing in a notebook
4. Close up of notebook, and its sketches of a beastly creature
5. Dr jekyll looks up into a mirror, (he's haggard, ill looking)
6. Bows head into his hands, and then finishes writing
7. The candle on the desk is blown out, leaving the room in a cold bluey darkness.

Tones: Mostly using a blue tone, cool/cold. While candle is lit it gives off a eerie orangey colour (green)

Dr Jekyll

Dr Jekyll this is an initial idea of my version of him. In the animation he will be a lot darker, I'll also keep with the 1st sketch of him with a a slight hunch.

Character Traits
Scientist (clearly)
Civilized (Hair trimmed and cut)
Sensible (Gloves + Boots)
Older Gentleman (grey)
Tall (Representative of him in society)
Slim (well kept, busy with work)
Crooked Nose (Roman nose - Stature)
Beard (Sign of wisedom, wizards)

I kept the character's outfit and features open to any era, from victorian to futuristic.

Mr Hyde




Ideas for Mr Hyde. He is smaller that Dr Jekyll, as he hasnt been allowed to be develope (Stunted growth). This is a more human like form of the evil within. Considering not taking it down this route.

The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde




Drawings of ideas i have done of Dr Jekyll trying to find a style that portrays him the way the story wants it.
