I know its been a while but I have just started a new job! However, I have been up to my old tricks with cat related designs, and I have a new little inspiration in the form of my beautiful cat Thiago. This is an illustration I have been working on of him! Trying to come up with a story for him too as he is quite a character!<br />

It is after the scene where she is angry, before she ends up scared. Its quite a leisurely run but I wanted to make it have quite a childlike quality. I wanted to make it a cycle as it is quite a long scene. I did some reference of myself running down the corridors which really helped to get the key positions. It is only a playblast so the quality is not perfect.<br />

One such source is the faithful Metro that I get on my way to uni in the morning. I found this image tucked away in my sketchbook and it never ceases to give me a mountain of ideas for little stories!<br />

Currently working on the shots angles in Maya, I feel that some of them are a bit straight on. I made the animatic in Flash, drawing straight in with my Wacom. I found this process much easier that completing it by hand, as I always have too many ideas for shots, it takes a while to find which I ones fit best. This was the first bit of major work I completed with a Wacom tablet and I cannot speak highly enough of it! The most valuable investment I have made, I love it!<br />
<br />
The narration was done by the talented Frankie Swan (a fellow animation student), who has a voice that really fits with my work (Frankie also helped me out on Sophie and the Balloon!). I've had quite positive feedback from showing people the animatic. At our crit at the National Gallery the only advice I was given was to make sure that the backgrounds in the final are rich in order to compliment the characters and to break up the narration to gain a less even paced piece.<br />

They are fully rigged - the sheep by me and Scarlet in Set-up Machine (SUM) due to the time limits. I find that SUM is much quicker as you do not have to do so much painting of skin weights, especially on bipeds. The sheep has a much more simplified rig and controllers which is perfect for the actions I intend for him to do.<br />

I have completed my animatics and sound recording and now I am starting to think more in depth about my characters.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been working on my characters for my final project in Adobe Illustrator. It is the first time I have really used it but I have fallen in love with the interface. It allows me to make the shapes I want really easily, think its because I love using Flash to draw and this is very similar. I have also invested in a Wacom Baboo Tablet, which I have to say is possibly the best purchase I have ever made!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My characters are a little girl called Scarlet and a sheep. I am in the process of modelling them in Maya as I will animate my final piece in 3D. The sheep is complete, I rigged him by hand and it works nicely, he also has blendshapes so he can chew.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The task set was to show a character struggling with an object. Mine is about a little girl whose balloon keeps trying to fly away but she will not let it! Modelled by me and Sophie was rigged in setup machine. Very proud of how it turned out, still needs some work done on it, especially in the scene where she is struggling with the balloon. Enjoy!<br />
