Barista Bible

By

Synopsis Barista is a romantic comedy set in the modern day phenomenon of a Coffee shop. It centres round a highly skilled barista named Tim who hates where he works but loves making coffee. He feels no love for his customers so much so they have all began to look the same and have turn in to stick men. Tim needs a catalyst to spark him in to getting his life back on track. Enter Alice Choi She is a no nonsense lady. She knows what she wants and get what she wants and she wants Tim. They get it on after a wonderful first date. Alice’s love for life inspires Tim to quit his job and set up a much smaller coffee shop with Alice where all the customers are people rather than stick men.

Here is the films protagonist Tim Painter. He is shy and endearing with a good sence of humour but lacks the confidence to use it. He is just in his boxers as I need to design him for a sex scene. In the scene.

(Designed semi naked for the sex scene.)

Store Layout

This was the initial design for the Barista store bar and to be fair it’s stayed pretty much the same. My aim was to design it as a functioning money making corporate coffee shop. I felt rather than drawing it form every angle and getting my self in a muddle I’d just knock up a really basic 3d model.

Here is a mocked up shot of one of the backgrounds with a few stick men on. The backgrounds will be traced from the model and then coloured in with photographic textures. My aim is to make the finish product look a bit rougher than this.

Mr Spock Tim is a complete geek but hides it well in public. It only become apparent how geeky he is when you enter his bed room. On the bed side table is an action figure of Spock. It will play a vital role in the sex scene. Rather than showing icky sex. I thought I’d just show the figure of Spock wobbling and falling over on the table.

Stick Men

When Tim is working at Barista he loses interest in the world around him until he meets Alice. To show this I decided to make everyone in his world stick men other than Alice.

Pigeons

Pigeons open and close the film setting the scene of a city. This is what they’ll look like even keeping the texture!
