Jasper Morello

Jasper Morello
Navigator, 3rd Royal Cartographers, Difference Engine Operator 2nd Class.
Morello’s career was in some doubt after the collision at Weather Station 2C41 in the Lawrencian quarter, and the subsequent loss of a crew member.
Re-instated to the Resolution, after pressure was applied by his wife, Mrs Amelia Morello [surviving daughter of Rear Admiral Balthazar Fortinbras of the Royal Navy] and her society connections. Protest by Captain Griswald has been duly noted.


The short films are set in a world styled after Victorian England with iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, where giant mechanical airships are the main mode of transport. The characters are animated in the style of Wayang (Indonesian shadow puppets) best described as silhouettes. The style is similar to that used by the 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed (one of the oldest-surviving animated feature film).

The scenes featuring characters were composed out of a variety of materials, including various found objects. The backgrounds often have added textures and colours rendered using CGI, while certain sequences (notably those featuring airships) are entirely computer-rendered 3-dimensional scenes. The final product consists of all of these elements brought together using a compositing program.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE SIGNAL

An appetite for
strange new worlds.

A daily blog of a faux science fiction writer for inspiration and motivation. Mainly focusing on music, movies, video games, comic books, art, internet, photography, video editing, video games, cyberpunk, dystopia, post apocalypse, steampunk, interactive storytelling, anime, and whatever might come along to inspire me.
