moa walking

So for the past couple of weeks I have been doing work experience at the Animated Exeter festival doing all sorts of animation related things! Helped in a few workshops for kids where they were doing fun stop motion animations with cut out characters and zoetropes, kids come up with the most hilarious things! 

For my last day I was working in an "Introduction to ToonBoom Software" workshop. There wasn't much for me to do so I got the chance to have a play around myself! Drew this bird but there was too much detail on his legs which I would have had to keep rubbing out and re-drawing to animate them! So basically I just got lazy and made him move around and gave him a smily face at the end! 

Not exactly amazing but ah well it was a bit of fun, think this software is really good if you know what to do with it! 

240 final

Finally have finished everything, just tying up loose ends before our hand in tomorrow!

Final Animation!

All done-finally, and one day to spare! Let me know what you think!

Also look out for me zooming into ashley potters face-was an accident I promise you but quite amusing all the same! 

rendering

Animation is rendering, time left-32 minutes. Just checking how it looks as I have finished the final scene (yay). All I have left to do is make a model look like she is walking for the first scene-not fun in after effects but I have a week so can hopefully make it work! Here are some screen grabs of the work in progress. 

collaborative space boy animation!

Have spent all day today making an animation with Holly Liminton, Andjela Vranjes and Claire Knight. Each of us provided different images and characters and helped out with the story. This was the first time any of us have used After Effects software and i think it came out pretty well :)

stop motion improv

Trying to draw one handed onto a vertical sketchbook whilst taking photos is hard! This started off being a girl being made beautiful then went off on an entirely random tangent...
