The first Concept of the House!

Worked on the house these two characters will be living in. I wanted the house to be old and posh but rough around the edges, I put abit of ivy on the side of the house to show it had been there for a while, I think the inspiration came from my own house which is a cottage.

I've sent it to the modeller helping me on this project he thinks it is very doable so with our combined strengths this might actually work lol.

Hope you like it.

New Project

Since University finished I haven't really been up to much other than job hunting like the  rest of the world, I have helped out on the music video for Mr Hudson with Carse and Waterman company. The picture above is the character I created. Among other things I am still hunting but whilst I'm hunting I am planning on creating an animation to keep the juices flowing in my brain.

So the draft of my next project is going to be called....' The Room mate.' Its a working title so don't scream at me if it changes, I have one modeller invovled as I'm going to need help with such an ambitious projected, Hopefully once it is done I'll enter it into some competitions if there are any out there, obviously this project is my own project and if I do findd a job this will go on the backburner but for entertainment! why not!

Hopefully be back with a new post with some ideas.

Finished Guardians

Editing/ Music

Once I had all the scenes to put together including the aftereffects movies. I put everything into Adobe Premier Pro edited it all, exported the animation to then give to charles beeching to create the music once that was done I put that on top and that was the finishing point.

AfterEffects

Throughout this project I have been working on the compositing in this animation here are a few snap shots of the scenes I have composited. The stones scene when the wolf shakes is just a png sequence of each stone layered on top of the original scene 'Shake' and then using the brightness and contrast effect lightened the scene to be able to see the stones coming out of the wolf. The other scenes are using masks, I used a lot of masks in this animation especially on the leaf sequences as it saved me time to render one shot of the background then a targa sequences of the leaf in maya with the lights turned on then layering them together in after effects and then masking, this is for when the leaf needed to be behind the stone. This is also the case with the shadow scenes of the girl using a mask on the original 2D drawing putting effects on her to look like a dark shadow.
