11 sec club animation progress so far.....

So far the last week of term we had to propose our idea of how we are going to animate to this sound clip and what our animation is going, our idea basically. My idea is a monster-like character running not looking where he is going and steps onto a garden rake. Angry and hurting the monster breaks the garden rake in half out of anger, gets out of control and crazy and runs to then trip and fall into a bin. The setting of this animation is going to be in a garden. The style of the animation is going to be done traditionally 2D hand-drawn. For this project so far like i said i proposed the idea, including some concept designs and a rough storyboard. Since then i have done some live action tests in the tv studio using ourselves to act out what we want in the animation. I have also done a scene plan and some layouts of what the background could look like.

Rough storyboard for 11 sec club project

This is a rough storyboard of the animation i am going to do to go with the soundtrack on the 11 second club. My character will run and acccidently step onto a rake, gets angry and goes crazy and walks over to the bin, rumdging through the rubbish in anger to be tipped onto his head.

11 second club concept designs

These are my concept/ character designs for my other project im working on. Where we have to create an 11 second animation to a sound clip from the 11 second club website. This short animation we have to show as much performance as we can and also usually lip sync but the sound clip given to us has no speech in it.

BIble designs for Chasing Birds

Maid and Butler Poses

Character turnarounds for the Butler for 'Chasing Birds' project

These are pencil sketches of the turnarounds for the Butler character, showing a front, back, side and a 3/4 view.. I will then scan them into Photoshop to add colour to make them the final turnaround designs. 

Paradise Heaven for 'A Dog's Afterlife'

This is a background for the dog project that i did in Photoshop. We have changed the name for the dog project instead of 'Dog Heaven,' it is now ' A Dog's Afetrlife.' Overall i am pleased with this piece espiecally the lighting to show light coming through the sky.

Updated version of woods

Eliza falling into Woods

This is my drawing of when Eliza falls into the woods. Basically i used Photoshop using different shaped brushes to create shapes and using the colours of what would be in a woods like browns, oranges, yellows and reds. I also lighting effects to add to the background to add sunlight reflecting off the floor.

Title Page With Illustration for 'Chasing Birds,' Project

This is my illustration i did for the bird project using pencil and then chalk to add colour to make it more interesting. I also used a brown pro-marker pen for Eliza's hair. Then after i scanned in my image into Photoshop i added in effects such as lighting to give a real sense of life in the image.

Illustrations

These are some designs for the title page for the 'Chasing Birds,' project. To corporate bird wings to our girl character, Eliza. To show the birds carrying her back to England. Ive done wing designs and drawing Eliza in Elina's style because we have taken her style for the project. Ive done some skecthes but also some chalk designs as well to add colour.

Rough background for Paradise heaven using Photoshop

This design I did I used Photoshop using a watercolour brush and adding effects such as lightening to add real-life feel to the drawing but still keeping with the style of Rachel Gilbert. For example I tried to do the trees in her style and also use a liquify effect because her illustration look like they are watery and melting off the page.

More designs involving this time background designs of when Eliza falls into the woods and when the dreamy sequence...

These designs are just rough drawings, the wood designs are just pencil sketches. But the dreamy sequence designs i did were in Photoshop using a range of effects to make it look like Eliza is dreaming. I also tried using effects to make it look watercoloured like the style of vogue and black lines to make have an art deco feel to the piece.

 

 

 

Final dream sequence this is what the visual is going to look like:

Designs of the maid, butler and birds for 'Chasing Birds' project

Today i started to design maid and butler characters and design for the group of birds that are going to follow the gannet. These design have to still keep within the style of vogue in the 1920's and have an art deco feel to them.

My Jobs so far....for production bible

So today we had a production meeting and decided on some of the jobs that each of us are gonna do. So far my jobs are do design the dog background for paradise heaven. Also design characters for the maid, butler and a group of birds for 'Chasing Birds,' project. Also design an illustration and a title page for bird project. And finally design background scenes for when she falls in the ground in woods and when she dreams, the sequence when she is in the sky.  

Designs for Production Bible

These are my rough character and background designs for both projects for pre production 'Chasing Birds,' and 'Dog Heaven.' These rough designs wil be put into the production bible to show the process of our art work being put into it. For these designs each of us were trying to capture the style of Rachel Gilbert, a previous falmouth illustration student for the dog character. And for the girl, Eliza and the background of the kitchen we are capturing the style of vogue in the 1920's and also a art deco feel aswell. We had a meeting today and decided to go for sammy's design for the dog and for Eliza we are still deciding but we think we are going for Eline's main look for the character but have body form of mine and sammy's because there body shape are similar.
