The second and last chapter of Super Power continues the misadventures of Super Mechant in his quest to find a house. This time, he goes into the Jura’s forests to visit an old mansion.
From this simple premise, we decided to approach this project as a darker film. The Notaires pitched me a sad Super Mechant, depressed after the lose against his step mother, Rose. I wanted his appearence to reflect that, so we revised his 3d model.
The mansion had to look like an horror movie one. Though lots of visual research was done through films, I found the most precious inspiration in these kind of XIX century winter paintings, which really portrayed the atmosphere we were looking for.
As much as the mansion was about to become a character in itself, we also wanted the owner to have its own personality. Once we decided he would be an old fashioned man, I presented several ideas. They went for this skinny, optimistic guy. His personality came through the chosen design.
