Test for Film

A test to see how easy it would be to animate in the style I have chosen and also to learn how to use Moho. It's not perfect (bloody tweening) so I need to play around with it to stop it being so smooth.

Kitty!



There is a cat in the last scene, but I realised that I don't know how to draw cats properly. One Google search later= cat sketches.

Sock Puppets

This is a short Animation that I made last year towards the end of my 2nd Year at University. It was hand-drawn on paper and scanned into Premiere. I was really happy with the way this turned out as I was animating without too much planning for most of it.

Ignore the stick arms and legs, I'm not using them. But the characters do basically look like that.

Doug's Two Old Bachelors

A quick post to point you towards my friends blog, which is in the Links list, and also here. Doug is also on my course, and is using an Edward Lear poem for the basis of his film. Go look at it. He needs the encouragement.

The Beginning

Welcome to the start of my new blog. This blog will initially be used to document the making of my 3rd year film, titled 'How to Talk to Your Kids About Almost Anything'. The script/story was written by Wendy Molyneux, the original of which can be found here. This film will form the final film of my animation degree, which I am doing at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. Hopefully you will enjoy my work.
