Start of jekylls life

Carry on Sceaming

Using the ideas and layout of the laboratory from the Carry on film, "Carry on Screaming". I am able to create the same creepy classic room which will fit my Dr Jekyll.

Stone cracked walls, huge bulbs dangling from the ceiling.




The equipment is all steel and metal, giving it a clinical feel, yet at the same time everything doesnt seem clean. Dust and rot.





Huge Dials and electrical equipment hooked to the walls. Meter and power readings, fuel guages and huge fuse boxes. Basement feel.Books and cabinets in the backgroung suggest educated and studious, like Dr Jekyll is to be portrayed. The Large thick oak desk which is behind the Beast in the picture above will also have an influence.

Although in the film Carry on Screaming, there is not enough work desk which have vials and potions and notebooks to be spread about upon.

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.
