My NEW Short Film 'Sandwich' - Early Character Concepts

Its been burning away at me since September and in February, I started my new animated short film, 'Sandwich'. Half way through production now, with a script, storyboard and some motion test done, I plan on having it ready by July. The film is under 2 minutes and taking inspiration from old Twilightzone episodes, I have come up with a story that I think it whimsical, funny and enjoyable. 

I had a basic idea down before Christmas but put the work in, changing the script till it was absolutely watertight. With a few other gigs on the go at the moment to, I'm trying to get 10 seconds a week under my belt, from now till the end of production.

I will post some other work up next week....

Coffee mug at the ready and nose to the grindstone!

Bringing down the House

      Some more tests for music festival poster work.

I had done some compositing work in Uni, drawing monsters on top of Live Action photographs.

This was using a similar style but keeping the human touch.

Play the Funky Music

Some poster tests for freelance work.

Working over old photographs from music festival.

Anti-Joke

Did this in a few nights for some fun.

Love Anti-Jokes and thought it was about time someone tried animating them.

Few more on their way soon...

Snack Guy

Bit of character design for a script I'm working on, involving a guy and his late night snack.

Every time I see a link like this on Twitter, I think of this.

Probably has a big brother, whose mean and won't share his toys.

New Year in February

Feel bad for not posting in such a long time but I've been swamped with work, which is a good thing I guess. Firstly, over Christmas I managed to do some freelance background and clean up work which was really funny and exciting to work on. Unfortunately, I can't post any of the work because it hasn't been released yet but it was fun nonetheless.

That was only for a month and meanwhile I'm preparing a few new things to go on my showreel, as to apply for an internship I'm looking to get in to. It has been fun doing character work again, currently working on two 10 second lip syncs from my favourite film Anchorman.

Depict opened its door for entries yesterday and having been shortlisted before, I always said if I had the time, I'd enter again. Currently got a quirky little story in the pipeline for that...won't give too much away till its all sorted.

Anyway, I promise to try update this thing more in the new year and I'll hopefully post where the rest of February takes me!


Enough TALK more DRAWINGS!

Current character I'm developing for a short with a friend. Typical tourist guy, probably American no doubt, he's missing his trademark camera but its only rough for now.

Frame from a quick storyboard I did to improve my camera angles. This is the establishing shot from my favourite James Bond film Goldeneye.





Oh and I forgot about this. Little animation I did for Animade's Full Secs, inspired by Movember.
