Animation - 24 hr film

So I took part in a 24 hour film with classmates from Sheridan. It was exhausting - and a bit crazy. Although it was fun - I don't think I can ever do this again! I value sleep way too much.

The subject was: Interpret the quote from Orwell's "Animal Farm" : "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".

It was a tough subject, so our story could have been stronger. In the end, we had to go with something, so here it is!

I got to animate the pig! Animation done in Flash, bg's in Photoshop.

So here is "V.I.P." - by Team Texmex -

Painting - Outdoor Scape - Studies

First real project for Painting this year at Sheridan. The theme was very broad. Outdoors!

I decided to go with a pine forest, like the kind I loved horseback riding in back in Poland. Ah, nostalgia.

Here are my tonal studies:

And here are my color comps! Still not sure which one I'll go with.

Painting - Tonal Exercise

Back to painting! We got an in class exercise - we got a ready made layout, and hand to make a quick black and white tonal thumbnail sketch of it. For the larger format we were allowed to render it either in black and white or in color.

Just for fun, I did mine in color! Gouache on Watercolor Paper. Again, not my design! Just fun with paints.

And here is my rough tonal thumb

Animation - Wave Boat Sack

Back to Sheridan Animation exercises!

Here is my Wave Boat Sack. I think I could still fiddle a bit more with the wave - but I'm too tired.
I can see that a whole summer focousing on VFX really did help me with my splash.

Here it is! Good ol' pencil on paper:

and here are some fun stills:

Storyboard - The Good Little Girl - Story Beats

I'm actually super excited about this one!

The Second Year's at Sherdian decided we should make a themed banner with all of our self-portaits. The theme that won was How to Train you Dragon.
