An okay return

Spent monday fixing up Defective, and then some boozey life drawings.
Both went rather swimmingly.

Heez a BG of the new first act, and some nude studies.

Trying to get into Life Drawing form again. After not going to outside classes for such a long time, my skills were starting to suffer.
So the last few days i’ve been trying to draw some from a mixture of imagination, memory and soft porn. These two are starting to get.. somewhere.

Yaya, and hopefully not to jinx myself, but i’ve started a bit of work on the film for the holidays. Fuckin finally, right?
This is a hopefully a near done version of the Diner, where the climax starts to begin.

Melon Nonchalance

So this is Og, from that second year film that never really took off. I had a goddamn insomnia induced epiphany last night about how I could revitalise the project. Man, the temptation to just skip other work and go for this is super strong.

I’ve hit holidays, which should be pretty good. Unfortunately, i’m starting to get a bit bored at home. I know that I really should have started work on the film as soon as I got free time, but hah, fuck that. I’ll start soon, but for now i’m going to go and get some more TF2 achievements.
Oh or maybe replay Fallout 3.
Decisions, decisions.

Post Production in the time of Cholera

Done and done. Going to hand this in tomorrow.
I thought uploading it at it’s larger size to vimeo would increase the picture quality, but I guess you have to be one of their $59.99 USD Plus members for those sort of high definition shennanigans. So yeah, i’m a bit pleased with how this turned out in the end, and extremely pleased with how much it taught me about AE and Motion Graphics in general.

Come to think of it, Motion Graphics is a fucking stupid term. After all, isn’t ALL animation graphics.. in motion?

Those titles in motion, here are they.

Currently working on my After FX film. It’s based around the idea of, ‘Self’. Yeeeeeeeah. So i’m making use of my camera and taking some nice photos of a few of my favourite things and places. Here is hoping that it doesn’t all cock up.
PS: You can use fractal noise for pretty much anything.

of late

Yoh, what up. I lost that bloggin’ feeling for awhile, because there was a lot of work to be done and not a whole lot of time.
The majority of the hard uni stuff is out of the way, leaving me with about six weeks or so to get a whole bunch of work done.
Hopefully i’ll be able to pick up the pieces of some abondoned projects, such as the Volcano short I never finished.

Anywho, here are some miscellany.

metal- I mean, guitarmageddon

For Animation Producing. Create a concept, work it, work it, pitch it. Peter Gawrych’s concept. Original Guitarmageddon logo by Michael Harris. I was acting producer for the project, and am putting together the pitch document. Apparently One point eight million dollars (AUD) isn’t nearly enough to make a cheaply animated thirteen part series on your homeground. Is Forty thousand dollars not good enough for six to eight months work? Maybe my own quasi-poverty has made me more greatful of the power of the Dollar. Meh.

meanwhile, across town

guitarmageddon

For animation producing. Ignore the disappearing bolt at the end.

but it isn’t any good either

Why this isn’t leisure time at all!
