Illustrations

Forgot to post these illustrations for my film, just little photographs for the credits.

Happy New Year

Since this may be my last blog post of the year, I decided to paint the lab I did a wee while back. So in the end went with a different colour scheme to what I have been using previously. .. Happy new year everyone!

Flash Film Complete

Finally finished my flash film today, very happy and pleased with the outcome. I didn't think I would but I actually enjoyed the Flash experience (apart from the corruptions, errors, bugs and Flash crashing unexpectedly) hopefully I can put my film up soon for all to see!

Updated Portfolio

Check out my new updated portfolio for 2013/14, new showreel will be up this week too!

Final Film Finished

I can proudly announce that my final film is complete! I am so happy, obviously I wish I could have changed a few things but that is how it will always be. Now I am on to making my flash film. Only 6 weeks left in Vancouver, time has just flown by!

More Background Work

New Rough Animation Animatic

This is my new rough animation animatic, still needs work but this is just the keys and the breakdowns so far.

Walk cycle test

This is a rough walk cycle for my character, I wanted her to have a very light and bouncy walk and think it turned out pretty well...Its all slowly coming together :)

First Animated Scene

This is the first animated scene of my film, just the keys and breakdowns though, as I will inbetween during the clean up stage. So good to finally see him come to life!

Final Film Animatic

 

So far I have had 2 pitches and 2 production meetings for my final film, and all deadlines have been met for completing layouts. So this is a rough draft of my second animatic, there are a few timing issues but I am really happy with my progress so far. Just started rough animation today so hopefully it all goes ok :) The title hasn't been finalized yet but this title will do for now I guess.

Past Assignments

Final Film Sneak Peak

Here is a few sneak previews of the film I am making at the moment. Finishing layout this week and finally on to rough animation next week. So excited! Here are a few backgrounds I have been working on...

Final Film

Its finally time for me to start my final film :) so far I have been storyboarding and making the animatic. This week is our second pitch, so I created these backgrounds to give everyone an idea on the look of the film.

A rough sketch for final film concept.

Laboratory

I feel that I have been abandoning my blog lately, but it is just due to the amount of assignments that I have had to do since starting at the school. I blame it on my lack of sleep and the thousands of assignments that I have been given. However, I have survived my first term and half way through my second one. I am still thoroughly enjoying it here but beginning to get very homesick at the moment :(

Vancouver Film School

Hello! Sorry for the long delay in posts, but I have a good excuse as I have started school again. I got accepted to Vancouver Film School and finally my adventure began at the beginning of January. I am slowly finding my feet in the beautiful city of Vancouver, but the film school is fantastic I have learnt so much in the past few weeks. I admit its pretty intense with the long hours and assignments and homework due almost everyday. However i am prepared for the challenge! A lot of my work is handed in for marking so as soon get it back I shall post it. These pieces are from my composition and perspective classes :)
