Interim Presentation

I quickly put together my line tests so far for an interim presentation due in on monday. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself so far, if I continue the way I have been for the past 2 weeks I should get the animation done in 3 weeks. Very exciting!

ANIMATION!

So I have been working hard on my animation, it's all rough but I'm pretty happy with myself.
Here are the good ones so far.

Ok, so this is a walk cylce which has to be broken in the middle by a hop over the crack, I just wanted to see if anything looked too awful, but obviously it won't jump around like it does here.

I did the girl's hop and the last Bogey vid today. Pretty happy with that.

Now to do it all again tomorrow.

Animatic take two

So after two full days of drawing and placing I have another animatic to show. Yay. This one is pretty close to how I want the film to look, it's hard to make it work better without actually animating. I'll sure I'll end up tweeking it in production, but there you go.

Anyway... Animatic!

Also... yeah, not sound yet but that is my next move!

Some Inspiration

Right, this has nothing to do with my film but look how wonderful it is. Then look how much time it took to make. Really inspirational.

Right time to make my own labour of love.

Test Monster

I had it in my head and I just had to sketch it down. It's very messy and I know there are mistakes, but it's a 'dirty baby' as John P would say. On to the next task.

Animatic!!!

Ok, so this is my animatic for my film 'Don't Step on the Crack'. It's missing some key sounds.
Like at the beginning, before the title, there will be sounds of my monster walking up and huffing as he sits down. Also the sounds of the people. But the foley is so far taken from youtube, which I will not be doing for my actual film. This animatic is also a working progress. Especially as it exported a bit funny (it was widescreen at one point).

Anyway, I enjoyed making it.

Bird test

Just a very quick test as I want to have a bird in my final animation. Also, have not animated in a looooong time so it was good for me.

I know the bird is too fast, bit of a shame. But it's all a learning curb.

some more relvent research

goat and the well

forest trio

some really good films we watched today which inspired my slight change of idea.

A little bit of research...

The Little Boy and the Beast go here (click on the top link, it's in German but you get the gist)

I think the background is brilliant. White space but with the right elements to make it seam like it exists. This really fits in with the style I had in my head.

(Really need to make more line ups, something I endevour to do this time)
