Character and title card design

Adding more characters to the current ones I have designed: a mother, older brother and pet dog.  The older brother is aimed to be a couple of years older than the primary character and is just as naive and mischievous as he is.  The loving mother is a very clean-living woman.  Nothing in the household is seen as untidy, dirty or unorganised.  The family lives in a suburb and have a very attractive house.  Their pet dog, scruffy, is a very curious animal.  He is a fun-loving mutt who sticks his nose in everything - he also digs everything up in the back garden.

Character Colour Designs (Dad and Son)

These colour designs are for a project I will be for a 2D series I will be working on. A few colour tests before deciding on a final look for my characters. I will be creating more characters and hopefully creating a family to base my short series around.

Brown hair for the father seemed more natural and subtle compared to the black and blond hair.  the style of the father's hair could be mistaken for a helmet - with the black design.  The blond design seemed very strange and abnormal for a man this age.

The four colour designs and skin tones for the character of the boy was widely varied until I came up with a final design spec.  I chose the black hair with the green tips to make him stand out and seem very bold.  My series will focus on the boy as the primary character.

CGI - Special Effects Storyboards

The plot of this special effects piece is about a person playing a guitar in his room and whenever he hits a high note on his electric guitar, a burst of green lightning shoots out of the tip and damages the wall/roof.  The character goes from shocked to intriuged and happy. Until in the end, he snaps the string of the guitar which leaves him upset.

Completed BMW Advert

This is the BMW advert as the finished product.  The car skidding to one side seemed a b it too "cartoony", so a slow turn and halt was adapted instead, this seemed much better and far more professional.  A song from the sound track of the film was implemented into the animation, the speed of the advert and song harmonises with the animation of the sequence which runs together quite smoothly.

BMW Animatic Shot

Within this piece of group work we were to construct an advert for a BMW Series 3 Coupe, based from the film "Inception". It was to be no longer than 20 seconds in duration. My role was the finishing shot of the advert which was the car driving down the folding city scape, just like the film scene.  This was my animatic for the scene.
