Jethrow Character Sheet and Further 2D Progress

More progress of my 2D animation, Jethrow now exiting his house and down his banana chute. The next shot will be him landing onto the sand and drawing his sword.

Jethrow Scene - Further Progress

I also created a character sheet for this character for more in depth detail about Jethrow's foundation:

I like making a character sheet as it gives the viewer a lot more information about Jethrow as a character and what makes him smile and what makes him tick.  The production of the animation will now be picked up, I hope to be onto the scenes which include Steve-Fin fairly soon.

Graduation and IMDB Credited!

It's been a while since my last post, I've mainly been working, job hunting and working on more of my 2D animation. I felt that it was time to pick up the pace with the production as I've fallen behind with it a little.

I graduated near the start of the month, after a full year of hard work, it finally paid off. It was a great day too.

I've been credited on IMDB for the character animation that I worked on! Really pleased with myself, more to add onto my CV too:

Definitely a boost to my confidence within freelancing as well as character building. Hoping to get some more contracted work in the near future with more companies.

Abstract Animation

For this project I was to select a sound clip from a varied selection and create a short animation around the sound.  I decided to choose this sound over the others as I liked the techno-style beats and the sound itself is extremely abstract. 

The assignment was to explore the use of colour, movement and sound.

I wanted to experiment and explore the use of colour changes and glow within the scene.

I used a basic, plain wall texture in order to let the colours blend together and bleed onto the wall.

Overall I feel like this assignment turned out rather well as the final outcome is how I had imagined it to look from the beginning.

Hopper Nighthawks Project

Our first assignment in Animation and Sound One was to create a 3D representation of one of Hopper's paintings, either "Nighthawks" or "Office at Night".  I chose Nighthawks as I remember it being referenced from numerous TV shows and always looked at it as a great, successful piece.

Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks"

I felt that I recreated the original view of the scene quite successfully.  I added the characters at the end to give the piece it's overall classic feel.

This is personally my favourite render of the scene as I could experiment with the back wall of the diner that can't be seen from the original view of the painting. 

 I added movie posters from the time the painting was created and a newspaper which had a deadline from that year too.
