leap year : why?

A personal ongoing project to be worked on throughout this year. It is essentially a 2D piece with experimentation using 3D characters within that environent.

Some things in this world are significantly symbolic. Others are thought-provoking or resonate with something deeply personal. There are things destined to change the world and those which will revolutionize the way we think.

This animation is none of these.

A simple short story about fables, magic, love and seasons, it aims to explore and exploit the more romantic or idyllic notions of contemporary civilisation.

Fueled by hot caffeine this is a work intensive labor of love intended to experiment with environments and compositing with the intention to be playful, sweet and very colourful .

Its not big, it's not clever but it has a lot of heart.

waverley : why?

With a previous background in architecture this project aims to allow me learn and test skills which I learned while studying the built environment and apply it in a new commercial way.

Returning to the Futurists was an easy decision to make having completed an interesting undergraduate dissertation on the influence of the movement on cinema. The site of Waverley station in Edinburgh fitted the requirements of having an appropriate function for this project as well as it existing on a multi-leveled site I can visit and film easily while providing an interesting juxtaposition with Edinburgh's old and new town.

The aim of this project is to turn the skills which I have into a commercially viable project, allowing me to improve my 3D and mix live action footage with an animated model while exploring the dynamic theories of the Futurist movement.
