Animation Practice

These are some animation tests I have done to practice and try and get back into animation.

Small Flash animation test. Hand drawn in the software using my character Diggory Sparrow. Voice: David Mitchell Ps. If this doesn't play for you I'm sorry but I don't know why. Something went iffy with the Youtube. Diggory Sparrow is copyright Daryl-Rhys Taylor 2013
UNFINISHED! I have tried my hardest to fix this and I am simply stuck. If anyone has any helpful tips please let me know. Using a rig by Joel Anderson, find his work on www.joel3d.com. Voice: Rachel Stevens

New 2D animation and some pictures

Some quick sketches from the past few weeks.

Some Superhero favourites.

The entire cast for my Doodleboy and the Toons idea.

Fot the DAC Mike Mignola Challenge.

Here is some 2D lip-sync I did. I drew it straight into flash with a wacom tablet. Unfortunately it flickers too much. I'm going to have to redraw it. Oh well.

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.
