We Heart Reinhard Mouse Take One

Reinhard is our amazing life drawing tutor and as an easter egg he appears if not in all then most of the fourth year graduating films, here he is making a squeaky cool cameo in Mouse-tasche. Don't quite think the timing for the frames which I got from Ashley is quite right but Scene 029 is getting there.

Dancing Girl

Scene 021 take one for Mouse-tasche, not so sure about the timing of the pan to the villain or the shift in focus, advice welcome...

Clashing. Epileptic Fits Imminent.

I'm very aware these past few scenes for Mouse-tasche have been pretty dull. I've been trying very briefly to liven Scene 37 up but its still not right. To put what I'm having to do in context the top video below is some coloured frames by Ashley and Georgina which I have been given and the bottom is the first take of the things which I have done to it . . .

Updated Coins for Mouse-tache Scene 023...

Mouse-tache Opening Extended Edition

This which is the opening for Mouse-tache's, is interspersed by three short snippets of the hero mouse putting on his cape, his hat and the all important moustache. The shot is much prettier in reality but After Effects informed me that it would take about an hour to render even at quarter draft quality and I sadly have to devote my computer power to Maya tonight instead. Look out for a shinier version from a university computer soon..

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.
