First Completed Animation Scene

Okay that title may be a tad deceptive, this is by no means what this will look like when I'm finished, it still needs colouring, compositing, sound and stuff, but the animation you see here will be what you'll see in the completed film.

There's a few issues here and there, especially the boiling which I'm struggling to deal with. I'm thinking that may just be how my film looks which sucks but I'm trying like hell to deal with it.

Everytime a bell rings a Kakapo gets its wings!

After the crit session we had for our animatics, I made a few changes which I will go into greater detail in later. For now, here's some concept for something Pual suggested, which was showing the Kakapo as an angel to show it gets its wings at the end. I may use this as an ending still, we shall see...

Final Animatic

Our upload of our final animatics are tomorrow, and I've decided to upload my final animatic onto here. This animatic MAY get updated again between now and tomorrow, but more than likely, this is the final one.

Animation Tests and other such things

Now I'm done for now with other peoples work, I've gotten back to working on my project 'Kakapo', by doing three pieces of test animation, each of a scene from my film. These pieces are by no means final, a few tweaks in the motion and timing are needed in some places, but I'm trying to start animating earlier, as to avoid running out of time further on down the line.

Storyboarding for Tim

Well another new year is upon us, and with it comes more work. I'm currently working on a final animatic which will be uploaded around the time I finish the thing, but for now I can tell you that I have finished my assignment that Tim gave me.

Tim asked me to do his storyboards for him, a task I happily took on. Tim and me sat down over the course of a few days to plan out the rough thumbnails for the storyboards, which I wont upload because a. it gives you less to scroll through and b. some of the drawings are less than respectable.

After the thumbnails were finalised, I went off and spent a day or two drawing out the final images for Tim. Tim then looked over them and gave me any corrections that needed doing, and I then fixed accordingly.

I actually rather enjoyed working on these panels, mostly 'cause it gave me a chance two more challenging characters (the goat and the boy), and so I hope Tim is happy with them.

Go over to Tim's blog to learn more about his film.

More Set Design

Hello Everybody!

Been busy at the set design again, am now hitting am area where I'm happy with what I've got. Think what I've done here is pretty close to the final look. I like how it reminds me of old looney tune cartoons. All I need to do now is make a blueprint to give Jenn so she can build it for me, which I will hopefully do by the end of this week.

More Designs for Laura

Hey guys! It's update time once more, hooray!

Laura has changed her idea, and with it her characters, thus I have been asked to do some more character designs for her. I agreed of course, what with loving character designs, and set to work. The characters above are designs for her film which is going to be an animated C.V. I wont go into detail explaining each and every character, because there are so many of them. If you need to know more, visit Laura's blog.

As you can see, Laura is going for a slightly sixties style, with start contrasting colours and very bold and stylised.

Enjoy!
