My first Wee Film

Hallo, Unfortunately the site I used to liberate my film from its rapidly deteriorating dvd has felt the need to advertise over the top of it. I hope it doesn't make it unwatchable. This is my soul my friends, my soul. Also my first ever drawn animation. Enjoy!

Here's a video test from the new pc's. The Amigas are dead! Long live the Amigas!

a cycle.

A Sound

Here's a shot which will be all in the sound effect...

Shake

This shot was lots of fun.

Dodgy update

This is the first post that contains animation that I'm really not happy with. Nothing that I want to get across is there. Why post it? In case anyone is interested in the process of improving a piece of work before the 'final' version. Basically the scene doesn't give the characters any time to think so their movement and actions seem to have no motive. The way the woman moves too, does not show her curiosity overcoming her hostility toward her inconsiderate husband.

Face Palm

Enjoy!

You love it

WSOGMM

The full animatic as of today. I intend to shorten it and improve on it with input from Lewis, my composer. As for now, I shall push on with the most difficult animation so's I don't get any nasty surprises.

The First Half - animatic

An animatic of the first half of my film. I've discovered there's a lot of interpretation between the boards and the final animation. The mood is also vastly improved with colour and an added background.

raw animation!

Hey everyone. Here's a new line test fresh from the lightbox.

Final animation fully rendered for your enjoyment. (note, this post will be taken down in a week to ensure I'm not accused of publishing my film on the internet when I eventually apply for festivals.) This is my first coloured shot and appears near the beginning of the film. Enjoy!

concept

I invite you to comment on this, a possible final look for the film. Bear in mind the effects of seeing it animated.

Found the time... no wait. Lost it.

Hey people,
I've been pretty much solidly animating this month and as such, have very little in the way of finished drawings. Here's a background I'm working on for a pan in the first scene.

Hey folks. Thought I'd post some test animation to let everyone know how I'm getting on. I'm not sure I like the look of my style so far. With the next scenes I'll be concentrating on varying the thickness/darkness of the line a bit so it looks a bit more like my concepts.

Largo Totoro

This is my own personal Totoro, inspired by the Totoro forest project. I reckon if there was a spirit living where I grew up, it would look a little like this...
