Sketchbook (RVJ) studies

Studies out of my sketchbook, these are the quality that I would like the whole of my animation to turn out like (I know it’s quite basic and there are no features show personal character designs but I’m not looking for that in this project at the moment), but with time pushing on it doesn't look like that will be the case.

Thought of You - by Ryan Woodward


A great inspiring video, this was the video that wanted me and did get in to do what I did for this project. Just a simple dance performance piece that was beautifully drawn and composed. Even though my piece has a small narrative to it i wanted it be a simple performance.

My contribute

My contribute to the collaborative project, our group had four animators all together and we each had our own section of the advert to animate, so instead of each of us having our own part or character to animate throughout the advert we split it into four parts and did it that way, so what we needed to do was to link the scenes all together to have the style of our animation the same, so we had the illustrator design the characters and we all had to copy it.
The second thing we needed to do was to have our first and last frames draw and completed so that the person before and after ourselves could link up the whole video and have it without any jumps.

Evaluation
Here is the start of my animation, i am extremly disappointed with myself in not completing a finished product. This term has been by far the worst term ever for myself in not being able to work to my full potential, somehow the time on this project has just flow by but thats no excuse.

I had a very well planed out story by my standards and i was going to put my up most determination into the the movement of the characters in this animation but time went by and i found myself producing this failed attempt and i was having to rely on the animating tools in adobe flash which was a hugh let down.

My Animatic

because my blog has gone and cut the ends of the video again

Heres a bad animatic with an even worst audio dubbing over the top of it the voice is mine, the idea was to ask someone i know that person has a good voice and was right for the project but in the end he let me down and with no time left on the clock i had to swollow my pride and do the recording myself.
The story is able a nice guy who is in a conflict with himself and in the process he has developed a split personality, this story is about how one can over come that little voice in your head and not to do any bad thing it tells you to do FIGHT BACK!
