BTW

You might have noticed that the times aren't correct on my posts. Thats kinda why i have been using screen shots as they have the proper time and date in the right hand corner. Just thought id let you know (Jack). I realise i could change it and upload proper images but this is way easier so yep.

Rejigging Emmett's front door

I couldn't figure out why a lot of the shots which include E's front door looked funny. I just realised its because they dont actually have a door. I didn't draw one originally as i new i would have to redraw it to animate it later...BUT it was really pissing me off so at least now the scenes looks finished when secretly there not...shhhhh

Progess is futile!


Attempts at making the run cycle look less like a cat and more like Atticus are currently failing.

Animation Test


Finally gave into the pressure and did an Animation test. Cheers animators survival guide, couldn't have done it without you! I realise it looks nothing like the Fox..YET!

The Last Trees


I was only about an hour ago i realised im actually up to last 3 Scenes of my production... Only 8 more background to go! Below is the (hopefully) the last trees i will ever draw for this production. Autumn.

Problem solving at its best!


Problem solving for SC6_SH4:

I was having trouble with space due to the bushes being so large. At first i put in less trees, but it look blank and continuity suffered. I then realised i could put in just branches and if put in the back ground they can connect to the other bushes. Thus having more trees with more space!

Problem solved. Sort of.

SC6_SH1

Work in progress. Afternoons production class. Got a bit done, only had the outlines at the start of class.

Emmetts Mug

In SC6_SH1 and SH2 Emmett is stiring a cup of tea. After some reseach i think i created something i can invision him using. The mug has actually has a face, But i wont add that untill i animate. I think it will kinda be like a dog, so as Emmett stirs the mug, its face twitches.



When sketching isnt enough!

Life Saving Document!

I made this when my brain felt like it was melting from my ears. It basically stoped the need to cry every 3 or so seconds. It is printed and stuck on my cupboard. I see it everyday before getting dressed and while it scares me how many boxes are unticked, it keeps me sain seeing that some are.

Storyboard Vs Finished Backgrounds

I forgot it was winter in these sketches. I also forgot why i decided different seasons was such a good idea.
























Storyboard Vs Finished Background

Here are some background, basically they are ruining my life.


Character Designs

This is Atticus the fox, the other main character in my animation. He was the first thing i did after writting the script. This is a colour rough done is photo shop, which i actually dont mind.

Character Designs



Emmett colour draft 1. He is the main character in my production. Drawing him was the worst. In pre production i hit a wall with him and only managed to move it fwd after accidentally sketching him at work.

Hello World

This will apparently be my new production journal, so good bye word document and diary and HELLO BLOGSPOT.
