Deep - Caroline updated


Deep - Caroline updated 
Following feedback from my tutors I went back and reworked the two main character designs for our Deep project. I decided to look again at 70's illustrations and styles. Using this I was able to go back and start experimenting with colours and textures, looking again at the style of the yellow submarine music video and the fashion of the era.

Edge Award Collaboration - Better Together Initial works







 Edge Award Collaboration - Better Together Initial works 
Back in first year I started collaboration with a TV student to produce our own short film titles 'Better Together' Following the journey of a smaller girl in a war torn world and her struggle to survive. Unfortunately first year proved to be a challenge for us and we were not yet ready or prepared enough to go any further with the project, here are the initial designs I produced for the film.

Life Drawing - Set No.18








 Life Drawing - Set No.18
 This week we took a different approach to our session, instead of a number of smaller first poses, we focused on a only two poses each 45 mins long. We took our time dividing each pose into different drawings and spent out time focusing on one part of the body at a time. I found this opportunity very freeing, giving me the chance to solely spend our time looking at just one area of the body and explore my use of chalk and charcoal.

Deep- Rainbow horse test

Deep- Rainbow horse test
With the design side of the project complete we now started animating. I mostly took on a producing rule, creating a shot list, to ensure everyone was on track. As well as this I did some animating of my own,  many of the shots featured psychedelic animations in the backgrounds, so I spent some time come up with some wacky creations we could use, this is one of the first pieces that we used in the opening shot.

Deep - Final blue meanie designs

Deep - Final blue meanie designs
Following feedback given about my designs for the meanies, I combined a number of our concepts and created a series of final designed for our scene. My group where happy with the final designs, commenting on the continuous features, yet varied elements within each of them. Making sure to stick to the style, I also experimented briefly with textures, but I plan to go back to this and explore it further, so do give our animation and more authentic feel.

Deflated - Layouts Classroom and Pet shop
As I enjoyed the last lot of layouts, I was happy to work on some more and continue pushing my skills. This time I did four more, these had a lot more detail then before and I enjoyed being able to work on all the smaller pieces that made up the final layout.
