Scene 003...Again.

This was a sneaky scene. We thought we had it nailed and then too many issues with layers lining up appeared so after much re-ogranisation and a lot of flitting between Photoshop and After Effects I can now finally proudly show Sc. 03 as its supposed to appear. if you notice any discrepancies or if there is still double of Clive's body popping up please comment. I've looked at this Sc. so much in the past few days I can no longer tell whats right any more. Hopefully this means that we are 5 camera shakes away from a final edit of Mawkin's Backfire ready for exporting...

A Boy and His Ball

Scene 014 Draft 1 for Mouse-tasche, due to a layout error I had to move the whole composistion down so that the guards arm and the ball meet, I  had to add an extra sunset light layer as the boy was too pale against the wall and I think the background could benefit from being more zoomed in. Battling on but must get back to A Sweet Disposition...

The Last Mawkin's Background and Its Parent Scene

So now its onto extreme editing time...

Last But Not Least....

So 1/3 films composited and ready for editing. Much thanks to Kieran Baxter who helped me set up the layers for movement for the tractor. Just one more background revision to do for Mawkin's one and then its time to work through all the scenes and then back to A Sweet Disposition and Mouse-tasche plus making of's...

Backfiring Buckets!

Buckets this year are proving to be a serious issue. This one was especially tricky, but Scene 020 Take one which means...only one more Mawkin's Scene and one Background before the final editing stage. There's a lot of things that need tweaked but we'll get there. Soon too with any luck. Very exciting! 

One Week To Go...

..and again Mawkin's expression sums up how I'm feeling. Scene 033. 

Many Mawkin's Updates

Its one week to go and the pressure is on. I may have been quiet on the internet front this weekend but I have been busy in other places so behold much Mawkin's madness. There's only two scenes left to composite tomorrow then its onto editing and making it more shiny. Huzzah. Now its back to the panic stations of A Sweet Disposition which has three scenes to go and more editing than I can shake a pen tablet at. Grrr..

Feed The Birds...

Scene 003 Mawkin's Backfire. There were a lot of confusing layers in this scene so if you spot a crow missing a body or a tongue in the wrong place let me know and I'll try to fix it! 

Mawkin's Backfire Opening Scene 01

It's not quite their yet and as Brian enthuses we really need to nail this one so suggestions as how to make it more shiny would be great. Also big congrats to the rest of the Mawkin's team who completed the colouring today! It's just down to me now to make their hard work look as good as it deserves to! 

Scene 035

Mawkin's quick escape in the barn after its collapse and he has realised that the farmer is returning! I think the shot should be closer in and focused on the animation as at present you can see Mawkin has no body and the gorgeous animation is a bit lost amongst one of the more dull backgrounds.

Post Collision Crows

Mawkin's Backfire Scene 028. I'll be adding some stars and feathers from the wonderfully colourful Scene 27 once I get some direction on how Brian sees this scene working so look out for an updated version soon! 

Pot Luck

Scene 026 More Gunfire action, though colours on this one aren't as working out as  satisfactory...

Crows and Buckets and Gunfire Oh My....

Scene 018 and 019 for  Mawkin's Backfire, Take One. 

Scene 016 Updated.

Big shout of to the increasingly awesome Laura Blyth who has not only done the music for Mawkin's and A Sweet Disposition but has made me happy by kindly and expertly cleaning up this scene for me I really love this scene and you can barely tell but I used an effect on the gunfire approved and used in  Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Joy.
