Brand New Showreel!

I'm very proud to present my brand new 2D animation showreel!

Linkage Time!

This week has seen my graduation film, Phobias (2008), featured on not one but two sites leading to a little boost in it's views on Vimeo, it's always nice to get some recognition so thanks to everyone who has watched it recently, especially as it's been around for a few years now.

Nathan Bulmer (aka Eat More Bikes) makes great comics practically everyday, based off of random records, wikipedia articles or whatever else takes his fancy and I thought that he deserved some recognition too, now I just need to convince him to teach me this technique and I might stand a chance of updating a little more often!

GO CHECK HIM OUT!!!

Still Alive!

To tide you over until I have finished my new Showreel (very soon, promise!) here is some old work, my graduation film no less, featuring animation made before I knew Flash and drawn on a Wacom tablet that I'd started using for this project, and all the sound effects are made with my own voice!

Enjoy!

Still. Not. Finished.

This is near enough the sum total of today's process...

Swim in a deep sea of blankets.

Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.



Seriously I drink so much water that it's a danger to others.



Sentinel: Stand aside, I must apprehend that mutant.
Gambit: Hey! Apprehend this!
[charges a card]

Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This morning these are my efforts, I'm quite pleased with how it's gone, still need to add a reaction and also the hand pushing the tree top.

What if I say I'm not like the others?

Work? Yes, I have been doing work... but, I have also been spending time with a certain ladyfriend, continuing to get to grips with the wacom tablet and meeting a lovely man called Tim Hunkin who makes some fabulous coin-op machines that sometimes feature silly little stop-motion animation similar to my 'A Garden Called Panic' so hopefully I'll meet him again in the future.

This week though I have been doing a few more bits, including this ladder bit from the Heaven segment, what do you think?



Possibly too much movement on the horizon line of the sea I think, and I'm not sure about the birds yet either, but the movement on the swimmerman's climbing is decent enough.

Right, considering I meant to do a lot of work today but various things keep stopping me I'm heading home to use the wacom there as I think today it will be easier to do that (also persuaded the DV technicians that it made sense to have the wacom drivers permanently on these computers - thank goodness, see Bianca something good came of it all!!?)
