The Project
DINOMITE & LUCY
Logline:
Back in the day, dinosaurs rule the world.
DINOMITE is one of them and LUCY - is his human pet!
For this odd couple – Dinomite‘s head buzzing with ideas and Lucy full of boundless cave girl energy - every day brings new adventure and excitement!
DINOMITE is a 39 x 11min TV-Show for children ... and a 80mins featurefilm ... and a game.
A universe full of adventure, fun, friendship and drama in a prehistoric world, in which Dinos are the superior species.
Mankind? Never heard of until LUCY shows up.
All based on the charming children’s books by Ute Krause, published by Randomhouse.
PRODUCTION NOTES 05 - Main Characters
We are very proud to show first poses of our beloved main characters, DINO, LUCY and PROTI.
Stay tuned for more to come soon.
PRODUCTION NOTES 04 - Fernham
Today we want to take you to FERNHAM. The cosy little town were DINOMITE, LUCY and all the other characters live and prosper.
Where they challenge everyday life, fall in love, meet obstacles, supersede them, meet friends and enemies, go to school, work, make a living and have loads of fun.
See how we develop the town and the places within, from scribbles to modeling to final texturing and shading.
A huge playground for all sorts of adventures to take place.
Looking forward to them.
PRODUCTION NOTES 03 - Gimmicks, Inventions & Other Cool Stuff
Since our beloved DINOMITE is a passionate inventor of things himself and the tech in prehistoric Farnham is pretty sophisticated and fun to explore, we wanted to show you some of the gimmicks that are being used there.
A little bit about their provenance and the thinking of our designers when they are being let loose to come up with ideas that enriche the fantastic, prehistoric world of DINO MITE and LUCY.
Have fun exploring yourself.
PRODUCTION NOTES 02 - Character Development PROTI
One character that we developed early on, that wasn't in the original books, was PROTI. We felt we needed some sort of sidekick to the sidekick, a character that you could throw into a story and that then would create a lot of chaos, fun and action.
Since we are set in a pre-historic world, we were quite free on this end and came up with PROTI, who is some sort of "prototype", a "freak of evolution" if you like. PROTI is one of a kind and doesn't really know himself what hides within him.
If he needs feet, PLOPP, there they are.
If he needs wings, PLOPP, here they are.
If he needs teetht, PLOPP, here you go.
PRODUCTION NOTES 01 - The Beginnings
Starting of in 2017 we began with extensive research on the pre-historic world of DINOMITE.
Of course there was already a lot in the original books, but since we wanted to take it a large step further, new ideas and perspectives were taken into account.
So, first explorations took place.
TRAILER 2020
Watch the actual Teaser/Trailer that we produced for the 2019 CARTOON MOVIE edition, that showcases the look and feel for the TV-Show and the planned feature film.
Below you can then explore the ideas and design processes that have happend to this point, starting in around 2017, when we purchased the filming rights.
