My current project is finally starting to come together. It’s still taking stupid time though. And yes, that is the Planet Express ship. Matt Groening asked for me personally to work on the new series of Futurama.
Well, back to work…
(Click it, that shit moves! but for some reason isn’t playing unless you view the image)
On the set of the Wallace and Grommet films, they average about 30 frames per day.
I did 44. Does that mean I’m better? Am I in charge of Aardman now? How does this work now? Have I like, conquered them?
This is my first paper-based test. When I started I was (foolishly) thinking “this is going to be so sick, this is going to be the greatest animation ever made” and then about half-way through, it dawned on me that it wasn’t. Still I’m pleased with how it went, considering I completely ignored concepts like framerate, or any sense of time for that matter, and just drew mental shit.
If only it didn’t take 2 days to finally export from Flash. And then another day not embedding properly :P
Bitchin’. Kinda sketchy but I’ve got the motion NAILED.
I’m gonna swear here, so heads up: I fucking LOVE problem solving. Figuring out the best way to do this from several different options (I tried 4) is like meth for me.
Been working on this for a while for an upcoming project. Want to try and have the scene finished by the start of next week so I can start animating. Playing a lot with Layer Styles in Photoshop, something I’ve never really looked into. I’m finding that getting the light and shadows right is essential to make something like this look less like images on images, and rather objects on objects.
Stay tuned.
Trying to figure out the animation for an iris/aperture type door opening. This’ll do for the time being.
Digging around in some stuff and I found my first Flash film. Did this for college a while ago, and have had thoughts about more like this for some time.
