Armatures

Here are some pictures of my armature for my old man, ill be making another armature soon as a replacement, so im making them with detachable heads.
hopefully will be able to update more soon, but got so much overtime in work at the moment :(

anyway here are a few pictures of my armatures:



1. ive basically compated the sizes to the size of the armature i drew in my sketchbook. i twisted cut bits of garden wire, using a drill, to give my armature a sterdy frame, but enough to make the character easy to move.



2. These are pictures of the padding of my character. i use some strong whte padding, and green foam pads (used for washing up normally!), they were nice and cheap and are very useful to be used as padding, as they are vew flexible, but yet strong, and isnt easy to tear.

First pictures of sets.

Here are some pictures of the frst sets that im makng.
I started off by making my old mans chair. made it with lollipop sticks and bits of foam to pad it out. I also coved the whole fame with paper-mache to make the armchair more sterdier. Then to give it a more authentic look, i stitched together some red material to put over the frame, to make it look more like an armchair. (sorry for the bright pics!)

Havent updated this in a while. Really i should.
anyway im currently working on my final film, for my 3rd year.
i have done a animatic, but working on a better one atm.
will post both up in a little while.

Clean Up

just an update on what im up to.

im currently, trying to do a clean up, on my last project, i want to properly make it look professional, so im gonna add backgrounds, and add the soundtrack to it.
hopefully it will turn out better.

im also gonna be starting a new stop-motion short-film soon, off my own back really, to enter a competition, on this website that im a member of.

will add up storyboards when i get round to them.

and hopefully properly complete a good ident.

Showreel 2009

managed to hand in most of the work today. just shy of some research =( - and an Evaluation, which only remember after i handed in, that i forgot to put in the folder, doh!

im really hoping i dnt fail this module, i enjoyed the ident in the end.
besides, i really dnt wanna do a retrieval over the summer

anyway heres my showreel so far. hopefully over summer it will be a better standard, when i crack on with some side projects =)!

now i got some time, i might get a website up and running, with the help of Miss Trainer!.

Ident complete!

at long last, its all done! after my pc decided it was too hot, to complete earlier, i managed to do it.!
well without sound.
if i got time in the morning ill do the sound.
rather crack on with the portfolio
anywho, heres the final piece.

the actual animation

so i was thinking while i was on flash, i used to hate it, but since my girlfriend bought a graphics tablet, im starting to get used to it.

anyway was thinking about scrapping doing it in 2d, coz it will take forever.
so im tihnking i can get more done if im at my pc with the tablet.

so my final animation, will be done in flash

besides i want a bit of variety on my showreel.

hopefully everything will be done 2moro night.
