Dawn of Fire

This was a collab project for second year that I took on later into my Final Major, I assisted in animated the first half of the wizard (before contact with creature) I was a fun project to join and I hope in the long run I get to assist these people again.

Here's the final outcome. I really enjoyed this project, even though I was late coming into it the people running the project were to have my help. Still cant believe I was a part of this !!!

Hopefully This next major project will be even better!

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT 2015, PRE-PRODUCTION, TOON ELEPHANT

For my final major project I have planned out 3 Productions, two are collaborative with people within my subject and another from visual effects (exciting!!!). 

So I thought I would start with showing works for my Personal project, which has a simple pitch of a toon elephant playing with a ball. Should last 15 seconds but hopefully I can reduce it to ten to fit better with the other projects. 

I really enjoy doing this short animatic, I will be improving and adding more frames to smooth-en it out for a more accurate time of its run cycle. But overall IT'S ADORABLE!

Nick Ident 2014 November

 

Heres the final video to our ident animation. Finally after seven weeks of hard work we have finally created it. I provided the sounds, models and texture whilst my partner charlotte mosey ( http://www.charlottemosey.com ) did the animation, rigging and lighting the scene. Even though we couldnt fit all the characters into this aniamtion because of the time limit, we still dont regret creating the other two. Hope to do more projects like this one in the future. 

 

This video above is the reel that helped create our characters to who they are today. I apologise in advance for the quality on some renders but with time limit it was hard to avoid. but never the less, its here. 

ENJOY!

Quick on the ball: Ideas for major projects, artist side

For my final year I really like the idea of it being half to three quarters animation and also artist for modelling a character for my show reel . I love character design more then any thing and i'm glad you can design in both artist and animator.

for the modelling part of it, I was really inspired by the 1997 film Wedding singer. One of the characters that was very much 80's vibe stood out from the crowd for me. here a couple of splash images of her as a rough.

Colour design

For my family of 4 for the Nick Ident I had to come up with textures for each one of them to define them and visually describe their personality. 

After talking with my partner on colours we liked the look of we decided to go for a lagoon colour scheme so the characters stand out from the orange logo of 'Nick'.

I really like the results of this, simple, friendly and bright perfect for a kids themed channel.
