and finally!

The film company i am doing the animations for 'Der Wald' have given me one last scene to do (they promised!), and its nice and easy so i took it on board! They asked for me to make the trees sway, but i explained that it was deadline day looming and i literally have no time to spare bar sleeping, eating and pooing. However, i have made it a still scene with just the sketchlines moving, and they have approved it! Good times! Here it is, done on photoshop out of the goodness of my heart!

A beautiful blossoming flo....oh, nevermind!

Today (and last night) i've been working to extend some of the scenes, stitch together the scrappy bits of animation i've already done so to speak! This is the final part, where Mooky baby gives up on his hunt for the love of his plant...only to find it was right around the corner! Awwwwwwww!


And then he drops it! Ha!

There is a little to follow after this...the heart shattering upset face of course, you'll see!

The animation that needs tweeking is -

  • The drop of the plant - i'm thinking of holding the bit where he's losing balance, and the plant pot teetering on the edge of his hand, add a bit of anticipation to keep you on your feet!
  • I want to accentuate the hug, make it a bit more dramatic, bit more width should do it.
  • Finish it....obviously!

Cowabunga!

[Insert title here...theres no place for messing about on this here blog thats for sure!]

So here i am, rocking you like a hurricane once again! I've been working on the rotoscoping project that im doing for someone elses film, they gave me the footage and asked me and joe to be the work sweaty monkey people and copy out the video such as in the style of A-Ha's classic tune 'Take on me'!
However upon reading the script it seems to be a quite dark film, so we discussed it and made things a little more evil! Contrasting huh, evil and mook! Maybe mook will have an evil twist!? Hold that thought!
Anyway, heres the videos that i am giving them for editing, precisely what they asked for!

Evil faces will appear in a mirror - i would explain, but it would take too long! Basically, think Lord of the Rings sea of dead people!

The ever so creepy 'Sandman' lurks over childrens beds and steals their eyes in the night! Cool huh!?

And the other one is a dragonfly, iv posted that before so yadda yadda yadda.....

Joe has been working on some others, so if this stuff genuinely interests you, look on his blog too :) http://joerichardcornell.blogspot.com/

Its back to full throttle Mook into destruction now, see you when the dust is settled i guess ;D!

Oh while i'm here, supposedly one should be presenting ones self formally as of the present. As a representative of the intellectual student body of Lincoln University and a enthusiastic wordsmith (i was going to say 'vocabularian' then...haha what an oxymoron i am!) i should be presenting my quirky and fun cartoon project in an educated manner of course!

What im trying to say is, i guess i write with a creative streak, but we are a creative course right? I enjoy writing this way, i hope you enjoy reading it! I'll save the intellectual dribble for an office job!
