Stair Walk

I've volunteered my help to another film and it would be good for me to draw in another style for a bit. The shot I was given was the main character walking up the stairs. It doesn't look completely smooth because the directors are going for less frames on extreme animation and more frames on subtle animation.

Run Cycle

I've been doing a bunch of layouts and keyframes that will eventually be given to the crew to inbetween. It has been long days but it's all worth it to see the green increasing on the production schedule.

So here's a run cycle for one of the Sweet Tooth characters.

A Sweet Tooth shot that I've keyframed and inbetweened, this was a fun one to do.

Here's a little something I've keyframed and inbetweened.  :)

Dissertation = No Life

All work and no play makes for zero blog posts. The reason be dissertation. Sorry for the lack of posts, but I have been eating, sleeping and breathing my dissertation for weeks. But no more as I handed it in on the 14th, the day before deadline!

It was not hard to say goodbye.

So from now on, be prepared for cake.

Doodle Dump

I've forgotten to upload some of some personal drawings I've done over the last couple of weeks. I'm so used to only posting uni work that my mind completely blanked my other stuff. The premise behind these were that I wanted to practice and improve on my lack of Photoshop skills. Honestly, I am extremely chuffed with these and hope you enjoy them too! :)

Sweet Tooth - Test Shot

Yesterday we had a screening so that each film could show how much work had been done so far. We showed our animatic, complete with sound effects and music. No one had seen the complete animatic so far, so we were extremely excited to show all three year groups and the tutors and see their reactions. And they reacted how we hoped, they all laughed when they were supposed to and it was great to see that our hard work wasn't to waste.

We're not going to use the music in this animatic, it was just to show what type of music we wanted. It's incredible how well it was timed (particularly the metal/rock song), it was purely by accident, it's a shame we can't use the track though.

We also showed our test shot that myself and Grayling (the Producer) worked on. It took the the two of us 4 days to do everything, which ain't too shabby. It was good to show us how the pipeline would work. Anyway, have a gander! :)
