Samurai Bistro : A DIY Advent Scene


Re-Useable Stickers for Digitally Aware Adults.

The idea is simple:

1. Use the advent backing colours to brighten up the background.
2. Move the figures and items from the advent onto the scene and copy/paste as many times as desired.

Bonus points go to anyone who gets the most cranes into the picture and who uses the most colours.

I've emailed it out to a few willing subjects but if anyone else has Photoshop and wants a go let me know and I'll email the file. I would've loved to have done a better background but the lack of computer stopped that idea..

Minor Disastrophe

Yesterday afternoon my computer finally had a meltdown.

Although all my work was backed up, as all my discs are in my term time flat and its festive season this means no Photoshop and paper only for me for a week. I was however about 2/3 through this background for A Sweet Disposition so any early comments are welcome. It is rough at the moment so excuse the colour balance, it will be fixed...

Lowering The Tone

Sound Of Silence [On A NY Subway at 3am]

I should probably explain this one. Its my take on Simon and Grafunkle's 'Sound of Silence' which I was doing with Ciaran. I was supposed to be doing another based on a nightclub closing in New York but time is against me so I've combined the two. Basically it was a practice drawing figures and sticking to a limited colour pallette, thanks to adobe kuler, if you've not used I've linked it there - very fun and useful. This was the result.

Scene 13 Test One

More animation for A Sweet Disposition. This is the start of John's layer from scene 13. Timing and lip-synching tests.

It's too big for blogger to load so Vimeo link can be found here:




Scene 08 Test One

Another post from the all-nighters in Eleanor's cupboard/after hours animation studio. Eleanor has solved the issue of the perspective 3/4 run cycle. Team Disposition are happy and caffeinated.
