3rd Year Film: Pt. 3 - Animation

Finally, here's my animation for the film.

*Disclaimer* As referenced by the post below, I provided the layouts and paintings for sc. 30 where Doug (the skydiver dude) falls through the pink-ish cloud. Other than that the other animations have the rough, clean and coloured characters, as well as compositing done by me, but the evening sky layouts/paintings are by Lisa Wang.

Here's the scene process, from rough to colour:

Sc. 30:

Rough


Comp Test


Clean


Final Scene

Sc. 38:

Rough


Clean


Final Scene

Sc. 39-40:

Rough


Clean


Sc. 39 Final Scene


Sc. 40 Final Scene

And that's all from 3rd year. Our full film should be posted up somewhere soon. Once it's up, I'll set a link here.

I start my internship at Smiley Guy Studios in May, I am certainly looking forward to working in the actual industry. But from what free time I get, I'm sure I'll have more to post over the summer from personal busy work. Stay tuned!

3rd Year Film: Part 1 - Design & Workbook

Now we get to the group film. It's been agreed that all individual work belongs to the individual, so there are not copyright issues. If credit is due, then credit I will give.

So first is some of the later design work and the workbook. Not much to say about any of it. Merely the last bit of preperation we had before the production began.

Final additions to the Design Pack. Based on a rough sketch by Kyle Mowat.


Plane Interior Colour Mock-Up

Design and all colours are by me. Character clean-up work provided by Kyle Mowat and Caroline Hung.

My contribution to the workbook









Woo!

Here's Comes The Bulk

WOAH! It has been quite a while since I last updated! The group film has kept me extremely busy. But now it's done. And done well, if I do say so myself. A shout out goes to our team for a job well done! Now that that's over, I have piles of work that I have yet to post. So this is going to be stretched out over a few posts. I think I'll start off with some of the life drawings that have accumulated over the past semester. So here ya go:














Getting better? I guess...

These following are drawings from this year's Autoshow in Toronto:


And to round this post off, here's a short lieca I did from my elective music history class. Simple task: make a short lieca and time it to music. Mine is, not so subtlety, about my cat. :) Hope it entertains!

'Bout Time

I've been completely absorbed into ongoing school projects as of late, particularly that of the group film. Most of the other work I have been doing involve rigging the chef model from the previous post and developing my fourth year film (I have a pretty solid idea that I intend to develop fully). However, none of that has anything I can (or should) show, so I guess for now I'll share some of the work I have been contributing to our group film. All of the following is work I did, and therefore is permitted to be shown here.

Doug Animation Tests (former design):



My contributions to the current design pack, primarily layout:




Version 1:

Version 2:


And finally, without giving too much away about our story, a sequence of boards I did:










In related news, I got my internship placement this past week. This summer I will be working for Smiley Guys Studios in Toronto. I'm pretty excited to finally dip my hand into the industry!

Almost mid-term, I'll be back with more soon.
