The warrior

.

The fact that the authoress of The wild fields, Moon Suk, is Korean, automatically build an asiatic setting in my mind for the whole plot. For that reason I got inspired by some samurai images I found at that time (of course I know the samurais origin is in Japan, but I didn’t want to create a scenery with a specific historical background anyway, so I felt free to explore all kinds of asian inspiration).

As you can see below, the warrior took a completely different direction in his development comparing to the fields. The more they developed seperatly, the better it worked for the story. Because the warrior had to symbolize the real world it was obvious to draw him more concrete than the fields and give him an outline which defines exactly the warriors shape.

During the process of designing the characters I also thought about totally abstract ways of telling the story. For example I had the idea to let some machines acting (the warrior would have been a tank who changes into a combine harvester) and many other things, but at the end all this seemed to be a little bit too strange to me.

Finally I am happy with the result, at least the warrior is the main character of the film. I wanted him to be a physically strong character, but also a bit instable, maybe naive.

Edit 04.07.: And just today I received an invitation from the FIAE 09 – 4° Festival internacional de Animação Erótica to screen “The wild fields” there in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (Brazil) on November. I should post festival news here more often, seems to double the effect…
