WDC #6

I kinda suck at this whole "WEEKLY" bit. Anyhoo, here is some monster thing I drew.

Kinda took inspiration form 2 places. Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Egoraptor. SPvW for the eye shape and Egoraptor for the shading. 

~Egomonster vs the World~

...enjoy?

hunting...

for a job unfortunately. I was asked not to come back until more work came in today. Great timing too, as I've only just moved house and need to pay rent and stuff.

...yay

Film Update

HEY LOOK. In the computer screen. It's a JPEG? It's a building? NO!! It's a...

~FILM UPDATE~

That's right folks. It's that time again. The time I share with the internets a piece of my film. It's not much, hence the huge title, but it's something. 

This background is for the previously posted wave shot. The wave will rise over these buildings ...once it's animated.

In other news, 

The film has just hit the 50% completion mark. So in celebration, here's a special picture...

...woohoo

In all seriousness though, it IS a pretty big achievement. We're actually quite surprised we've made it here. The film seems so massive and we're that one step closer to finishing it.

HERE is the legit film blog

Wish us luck :)

INTERNETS ACCESS

Hooray!!!!

After almost a week without it, I'm back. Here's what you missed:

• I moved house/out of my parents house
• drew some backgrounds
• animated a bit
• had lunch
• slept
• repeat

So really, you didn't miss that much...

*sigh*

Anyway, sorta news. I'm getting an Axolotl soon from some friends that accidentally bred them. It's brown coloured and about as big as my index finger, 12cm-ish. I'm not sure if it's a he or a she (or a he/she or a she/he or identifies as a cat) yet, but I imagine that it will be beautiful no matter what. 

God I love animals...

...gorgeous

I don't know if this is typography or effects or what? It's definitely cool though. I love the transitions and timing. I was hooked in the first few seconds.



Gulp. The world's largest stop-motion animation shot on a Nokia N8. from Nokia HD on Vimeo.
A few years ago, I did a short stop motion animation using sand. It was the worst thing ever. Therefore, I have so much respect for this short. It's awesome and totally worth a watch. Just try not to think about how much work there was...


A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION from Carlos Lascano on Vimeo.
This was a pretty cool concept but overall I found it kinda creepy. In my opinion, the music definitely carried it.

I'm in the process of moving house at the moment but WILL actually update some stuff on the film soon, so do keep posted.
Later :)

Ani-mat-ions

Warning from Gordy Higgins on Vimeo.

One of my friends from uni animated this a while ago. Im not usually a big fan of motion graphics but I think that the little, hand animated characters really added something to it. I thought it was really fun and quirky.

Fox Retro from PUNGA on Vimeo.

Anybody who knows me well is probably aware of my unhealthy obsession with 8-bit stuff, and this short is exactly why. It's fun and adventurous and kinda nostalgic. I loved the colours and character designs, especially the way they moved about the screen. Just awesome...

SIMPLE by Stanislav Sekela(3D animation) from Standa Sekela on Vimeo.

I saw this little animation just the other day on recommendation from a friend. Totally worth it. This seems to be a weird hybrid of 3d and stop-motion animation and the weird characters had me both hooked and slightly creeped out. Definitely worth a watch.

Relentless Drag from Trof Dugweed on Vimeo.

One of the graduate films from last year and honestly one of my all time favourites. Such a weird, yet simple idea. I love almosteverything about this film: the concept, the characters, the animation. It all works amazingly. Damn good work.

More updates on my film soon and I'll also post a link to the actual film blog, once we update it a bit, as well as some stills and backgrounds. So stay tuned.

Angry Burds

I went down to the shops to buy some diet coke and there was a girl ahead of me in the line wearing an Angry Birds hoodie, an Angry Birds beanie, Angry Bird shoes, and was playing on her iPhone.

HAVE A GUESS WHICH GAME!!!

Yup, you guess it... plants vs. zombies
