Transformations Sequences - Key & Full Colorboards
As for “Revolution”, the transformations were made early in the production process, before the episodes. Therefore, to find how we wanted them to look like, we needed to make additional researches and references.
That’s why we created the Key Color Boards above. Then, even though it could have been enough to work, we decided to push a little further and completed the full color storyboard for each princess.
On the long term, preparing these was incredibly helpful and time-saving, as all the researches for hook-up, fx, and backgrounds were done.
Doing these also allowed some test. For example, initially, we intended to put filter on them so each princess would be immersed in the same ambiance color as the her transformation background. We tested it on Talia, and then realized it gave the feeling she was “sort-of” already transformed, with the dark blue-purple hair reflection. For Iris and Auriana, we tested keeping the regular character colors, and it worked way better, so we decided this would be the final choice.
And about Amaru ? Well, as I explained in the previous post, his transformation was created on the regular production pipeline, alongside the episodes. By this time, we no longer needed colorboards as we knew how our most magical moments should look like. :)
These colorboards were created by both our background color team (Sylvain Fabre, Damien Hausson, Céline Lorthiois) and one of our FX men (Jullian Goff), from Christelle Abgrall’s storyboards.

back to 2011 !
the creation of lolirock - part 3 : finalizing main characters
Actually, the global design of the 3 girls came really quickly. I had then to finalize details, accessories and colors.
For example, the star shape in the eyes (the reason why the producers chose me in the first place) was now ugly and make the girls look like aliens (uh oh, they actually are !) or like they are into drugs (uh oh, they’re teenagers ! … just kiddin’)Reference for IRIS is Taylor Momsen and Blake Lively from GOSSIP GIRL, Pixie Lott a Brit singer… Reference for TALIA is Betty Augier’s wardrobe on Amber Steven West, aka Ashleigh from tv series GREEK. Keri Hilson and Alicia Keys too… Reference for AURORA is all the other cool things I like and I couldn’t put on Iris and/or Talia :-) There’s maybe a bit of Leighton Meester from GOSSIP GIRL and a lot of Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande, what a name coincidence with Auriana!) from tv series VICTORIOUS, before she losts weight and sells millions of discs…
Speaking of VICTORIOUS, it was a great inspiration for the early posings I had to do for the promotion of the series to raise money from broadcasters and co-producers.
This last drawing remained the key visual for a while.3rd part of Lolirock’s characters genesis. Step by step we get closer to the final designs. ;)

BACK TO 2011 !
the creation of lolirock - part 2 : talia and aurora
Yes, Aurora. it was her name then.
At the very beginning, I imagined Aurora as a black girl with a huge volume of hair. and Talia, maybe asian, with long straight hairs. Then I continued researches…Round 2 of LoliRock’s character creation : Talia & Auriana’s first researches !

more Lolirock concept…
For the first one, the girls were more like “hich school” girls. For the second one, the designers tried a “royal” style but it was too complicated
As you can see, we were sure that Iris would be in pink… But we hesitated for a looooong time for Talia, and most of all, for Auriana ^^”

Color by me :)
Creating a character is about design, but also about finding the right colors ! It was Flore’s job to do so, and she probably tried EVERY POSSIBLE color. Afterward, a lot of exchanges and teamwork to chose the best one amongst all of them ! ;)
And to think all of this is merely the tip of the iceberg… Thanks again for your work Flore !
