pitch project

For the pitch project i was originally going to do an idea called a day in the life. Which would feature a surf crew going about their daily antics involving there preperations for epic surf sessions, ensuing antics during the sessions and banter that other surfers and people can relate to when out in the water surfing with other people and the tightness of the lineup sometimes. The main characters would have all the flair of crazy surf bums and their undecipherable lingo. I didnt really know were to take it other than this and i couldnt really form a story that i was happy to work with that would go much further than this and i also wasnt sure if it would apeal to anyone other than other surfers. There would be surfing, lots of ridiculous surf lingo used, crazy nightly randon antics like cat in the bag, fireworks and dodgy bbq's, wheelbarrow pool, fancy dress. In the surf there would be tandum surfing, wave ettiquete attitudes, amazing wipeouts, riticulously cold surfing conditions that they contend with and mudfights on flat days, river skimboarding antics, tandum downhill skateboarding and lilo golfcoarse riding on the snowy days. These were a few of the different ideas i had but this didnt go much further than this i may take this idea further at another time but for now this is one of those ideas that hasnt made the cut for me which is a shame as i do like it. I just dont think there is enough to it. I did however have an image board to sum up some of the kind of characters and antics i was going for.


And below are a few sketches i did for 3 of the characters Big A, big Rich and wizard. They were just to get the feel for my crazy characters so they are not particulary well done.
