New Youtube Videos

A head Turn I did when I spent the day at Espresso Animation. Thank you so much Phillip.

A comparison between a 2D and 3D walk cycle.

The 3D walk cycle was done wit the help on Eric Goldberg's book Character Animation Crash Course and the 2D walk cycle was done when I spent the day at Espresso Animation. Thank you Phillip.

Just some storyboards I did recently. I wanted to board and action scene where two fights where going on a the same time that had nothing to do with each other.

Updates about Uli Meyer and Pictures

I was supposed to start my work experience at Uli Meyer studios, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the studio just moving. I understand but I have to say I'm a little disappointed.

New Animation Station Cast

Mickey and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

I wanted a new female character for the Animation Station, so I decided to dust off that old Pocahontas design I did for college. I imagined her as a cross between Dora the Explorer and Calvin fro Calvin and Hobbes. The Gorilla acts as her talking backpack.

Villains of the Doodleboy and the Toons Universe.

A Halloween picture of Kim Possible and Candace.

Gift for Kevin Boilk

Gift for Aeolous

Droomweaver Euro ABCD Project

My animatic for the DroomWeavers Euro ABCD Project. I didn't write the song. With the character designs I was going for a Ed Bennedict channeling through Craig Kellman feel. In other words, a Hanna-Barbera look.

1. My entry into the May competition of the 11 second club

2. My animatic for the Blue Sky Studios Story Internship

Runners job at Passion PIctures and Animation Station Storyboard Reels

Firstly some good news. I have got a trial day as a runner at Passion Pictures this Wednesday. Hopefully this will lead to something. I'm quite nervous.

Secondly my pal Simon has edited my storyboards for the first three episodes of Animation Station. There is no sound but it should give you a general idea. We are of course re-writing some of these. No idea is perfect.

I was going to put them up here but they are mp4 files and they didn't seem to work right when I uploaded them.

I converted it into a quicktime file.

Does anyone remember ages ago I was doing work on the logo for Trisori Limited. Well it went nowhere. But I did something for it so I used it to practice in flash. This is strictly a practice walk cycle. I know I made it wrong in flash, but practice makes perfect right.

Blue Sky Studios Internship, Animation Station Pitch and Trisori Limited

Above is the picture I did of the cast of my proposed television show Animation Station. I don't want to give too much away at the moment but I hope you like them.

I've got a very small freelance gig doing an 8 second animation for Trisori Limited. They want a model walking across the logo and diving off the end. The model had to look a bit like the photo of the model in the top left-hand corner.

This is my entry into the Blue Sky Studios Story Internship. I had to make a storyboard in no more than 60 panels featuring a cat getting safely down from a tree. This is what I came up with. I hope everyone likes it.
