I'm still not sure what to think of the final product, but considering the tiny amount of time I think it turned out okay. Collaberated with Matt kramer and Laurel Dalgleish, who are awesome.

Oh, and Happy Halloween. :)

pitch package stuff

some stuff I did last week for our pitch package, all drawn in graphite and painted in photoshop.

this one was a rough colour script for people painting beat boards to use as a guide..

and also having fun with lightning...

stop motion assignment

very first stop motion assignment, had to make the cars go along a specific path... first 13 frames drove me nuts. I finally started from scratch, adjusted the angle of the cars a bit and it all went smoothly from there. So far its been a really fun class, we're just playing with timing and spacing at the moment, eventually we go on to puppets. :)

story reel, the kite

rough story reel for action analysis. Done in premiere.

quick colour concept

so this is a quick colour concept I did this sunday, literally took about half an hour. We were discussing having a sepia tone for flashbacks, I wanted to try a halfway between sepia and colour. Photoshop.

zoo trip

went to the zoo on Saturday, which was much glorious fun. Here's some conte and pencil sketches from that trip...

pole vault concept

so, we're finally getting the ball rolling on our third year film. :) This is a quick colour concept I did based on our idea (photoshop.)

colour doodles

two little colour experimenty type things I did this weekend.. one for an animation analysis concept and one just for my synopsis pitch/fun. Pretty quick, I kind of like the watercolourish look I got with the top one.
Photoshop.

Super wedding

First time doing something digital for etsy. They wanted a comic book cover for the front of their wedding program. I had some fun with this one.

birch tree painting

So with moving day coming so quickly I decided to make something big for this huge empty spot in our house. I'm kind of undecided whether I like this or not, I continued to change things constantly even after I'd finished. Mostly wanted something that would match with the room and not draw too much attention to itself. In my mind when I started this was extrememly abstract, but I wasnt happy with that and ended up adding some texture here and there. This was definitely a more experimental piece.

cup

hey, so I did another quick study, probably about 2 hours, drawn + painted in photoshop.

Simply saw my cup sitting on my desk and thought it would make an interesting painting.

JULY IS NOT THE TIME FOR SOCKS.
