Hodgey Demo!

I'm bumping up two of my scenes to the first post as reference for my portfolio. They are: My coloured run cycle and scene 24. I need to refilm the rough one with the FG element. More animation is buried further in. Below are 2 drawings from Ed08

45 min quick drawing ftw.

Working BGs for the movie. I'll be revising them based on some good imput. Def a fun experiment with PS and textures, which I've incorporated for the first time.

Obi Wan says ...

Editorial drawings. I've returned to the two fundamental principles which I often overlook for more "fancy" ideas like rendering and computer age tomfollery. They are:

Draw through and my old mantra "shapes, not lines."

I've been saying the second one since around second year, and you can see it in those drawings when I really push it. In the end, it's often the most obvious things that we screw up, and if I was to take anything I've drawn this semester I could easily find dozens of errors. This is not to say this drawing is perfect, just that it's a bit closer than it's first rendition. Plus I have a deadline and I still have 3 more of these plus mini BGs too do. I'll post im' all

Me playing around with the idea of using PS and Flash to simplify the animation and knock out as many inbetweens as possible. I'll post a full video of the scene when it's done. The downside is it's going to look "flashy" and the secondary animation may get stiffer. The upside is I don't have to draw settles. Bascially what i've done is inked 3 drawings. Then done all the colouring in PS in separate files. I then compress those and transfer them to a "master" scene file. I then copy that to a "stretch/squash" file where I can tinker around with spacing/stretch/squash. I then flatten each individual drawing and export it as a jpg (these being only 15% the original size." I may export on the BG or I might do them as a file compatiable with harmony and just have them layered there.

Lika Stills ftw. I'll add them to this post.
