start of term and digital painting

I have been a bit lazy with my blog posts and this is my first post for the start of my second year. Its soo good to be back and im so happy to be doing the stuff that i really enjoy and focusing more on the design stage of animation :) so far the work has just been all about story telling, creating story board and animatics.

The third year pitches are coming up and i was asked to do a quick concept piece for Alex Watkins, one of the third years who will be pitching his idea.

I wasnt really happy with this concept mainly because of the style and its not what i would normally go for but on the other hand its the style that alex wanted and im glad that it fitted with the idea he had in his head. over all i was pleased with the outcome considering i only had a limited amount of time to complete it.

These next three pieces are for are funny in 15 animation, two quick background and a character design just to get an idea of what things will look like. The funny in 15 task was to be put into groups of 3 and we had to come up with a 15 second funny animation that would be completed in 5 weeks. at first i wasn't too sure about the group i had been put with but after getting to know them more im happy that they are both hard working and talented people.
