Food GIFs

  

This week I have been experimenting with GIFs. I made and animation for an online competition where I had to create a loop of animation base on a word and the word was Food. This selection of running food feature in the animation that can be seen here - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_Y9uJzC7YG0bnNYTkhMcWk0ZUU/edit

I really enjoyed doing this and now I know how to o it I may do more.

The Flower Temple so far

Here is all the animation for the Flower Temple animation so far. The entire animation is animated buy me, Adam Poole, Becky Burst, and Chloe Brown. We are getting through the scenes and hope to have the whole animation done buy the end of the week providing everything goes well. I apologise for the bad quality but a full HD version will be uploaded to vimeo as soon as it is done.

Messing with Effects

Here is a little test I did for the Garden Gang scene with ronny. I wanted to make it look like he runs off really fast so I added some different blur effects to see what I could get.

This when really well ^^ Just need to sort out some little bits in this scene that It will be done.

One second animation

I have decided to do a one second animation for Animade's full secs channel. It has to have 2 second either side of the titles and one second in the middle. Here are a few images of whats gonna happen.

Here a lovely spring background and also the same scene but covered in snow. 

Here is a link to the finished animation.

1 . . .2 . . .3 . . .Go!

Here is a little animation I did on Photoshop. I took a picture of a hand counting down from 3. Becky then cut them up and converted the layers into frames. and here is the finished result. This is just a little test  though and the real thing will be on the Flower temple music video when it is finished.

Ronnies dust cloud

Here's a little animation I did for the garden gang, this is for the scene where Ronnie says "See ya" and then dashes of quickly. and this is the cloud he leaves behind.

Kevin Kiwi test

heres a little test I did for Kevin Kiwi from the garden gang. The legs still need to be sorted out but for now I think the mouth is working really well.

Sleeping Moon

I have just spent the day making and rigging a sleeping moon for the flower temple animtion. I am really enjoying the project and Im looking forward to animating more.

This is the moon all rigged and ready to animate.

Here is a little test I did to see if the mouths work ok.

Sting

I have now finished my my Phaze Animation Sting to promote my brand. I decided to make it out of cross stitch as I really like that style of working. So here is a link of to my finished sting. I might think of changing the sound but at the moment it is staying like this.

Animatics!!!

It has been a busy few weeks. I have finalise the Garden Gang script and also finished The flower Temple Animatic. Now that I know roughly what I would like to do. It is possible to start dong some designs going for each one and also start animating some things.

But in the mean time here here are the links to the finished animtics

The Garden Gang

Shadows

I was messing about in Photoshop and found out that the CS6 version have an animation mode. So I have been doing a bit more testing in regards to my Phaze Animations logo. I wanted the Aida to go from white to black slowly so it looked like a shadow coming across. There is still a long way to go and here is and example that I am most pleased with. I may also do some test in Toom boom to see what effect I can get.

All Finished

I have finally finished my Lightning bird animation. About a hunter that goes to kill the legendary lightning bird  with surprising consequences. You can watch it here.

Hunter and the Lightning Bird (Impundulu)

Here are the final designs for my Lightning Bird (Impundulu)  animation. The Hunter is going to try and catch the bird with surprising consequences. Here I have experimented with gradient as shading and I think it has worked out pretty well might do more of it. In the mean time if you want to have a look at the animatic for these characters then here it is https://vimeo.com/52530577 I am currently working on the riggs for both of these in Toon Boom.
