This animation has a monster

Hello.

I can't remember why I did this one... But nonetheless here it is! Yay!

E-Sting update

I have tried to make some "improvements," but it's not easy...

I keep getting distracted. I have recently discovered that my neighbour has a large amount of onions. There has to be at least a hundred and five onions... What is he up to?

I will continue to update news of this event as it happens...

Final Film Synopsis

---

"LARD: The Movie"

The weekend is normally rather relaxing for the small child, simply known as Lard, but then the strange appearance of a polarbear changes his life forever. The two characters quickly become friends and everything suddenly seems possible. But meanwhile, Lurking in the background, an ex-military animal control officer plots to destroy the polarbear in a elaborate attempt at gaining fame and fortune. Sadly the polarbear is finally shot. But from the experience Lard learns several important lessons of life and the true value of friendship.

Yeah anyway, It is a rather dramatic, and people used to my cute and cuddly style are in for a shock. The movie will work on a whole new emotional level that I have not done before but don't worry! There will be a lot of fun and laughter as well. Hopefully it should all balance out...

Holiday fun...

Oh dear, I've had a bit of a slow start, I've not been working as hard as I origanally planned. So far I have done four pages of sketchbook work, two animations, half a portrait of my nan, and written the theme song for my final film.

Anyway, The animation test you see before you is inspired by the animations of Ub Iwerks, (The guy who created mickey mouse.) Ub could do up to 700 frames of animation a day! This is an animation world record. As for my test, The animation is very poor, especially the walk cycle at the beginning, the timing is also very sloppy.

I am currently working on my lipsync techniques, as I think dialogue will play an important part in my finished film. The character is a singing pirate...

Showreel 09

Well here it is, A summary of everything I've done this year. The past decade has been very, very boring, I just hope this isn't the high point of my life. But saying that, I'm really looking forward to next year, It could finally be the year I take charge of reality.

I'm still sticking with the "Lard" idea for my final film, and I've decided not to make it too epic, instead I would like people to remark upon leaving the screening, "Yeah, That was alright."

"Finished" Lipsync

Here is my lipsync project at it's peak before I decided not to work on it any more. The sound is the is still my dad but this time I have added a farmer. And farmers are interesting.

E4 competition

I've decided to enter E4's "rather lovely video competition." This first animation is a practise run for the slightly better animation I'll do over the summer. Hopefully.

The rules for the competition...

1) No exploding heads, guts, animal torture, toilet-based unpleasantness, full frontal nudity, etc.

2) It HAS to be EXACTLY 10 seconds long.

3) It HAS to have the E4 logo in it.
