Here is second part of my second year on the MA Character Animation course, I have done a few life drawing classes through the year, and these sketches were from the period from January to February 2014, here’s a few sketches I have done during those life drawing classes.
During my second year on the MA Character Animation course, I have done a few life drawing classes through the year, (possibly around 8-10 classes in my final year) from October 2013 here’s a few sketches I have done during life drawing class. Enjoy.
This project is similar to the fashion project, this project is only two weeks long. Were we had to think about a character receiving a box, taking something out of the box, reacting to it through facial expression and then passing the box.
I started of by filming someone acting by picking up a box reacting what the present I picked up through facial expression and then passing the box.
Then I started off by drawing my thumbnails/storyboard down, this was basic drawn down due to I didn’t know the style and the design of my character will look like. I scanned in the thumbnails anyway to do an animatic.
Then I went into Flash, to do another animatic, this time for timing reasons and get the timing right.
Then I figured out what the character will look like, I based the character similar to the lost boys from “Peter Pan” (1953) and Bloodhound Gang music video “The Bad Touch”.
Then what the character will look like, I went back into Flash to do the keyframes and create the animation as-well. Got some feedback, but it was more of styling rather than the keyframes which was the main problems and also adding a neck to the character.
After I got the styling right from the feedback and added a neck to the character, I completed the animation with the remaining in-between frames to completed the animation.
Personally, I enjoyed this project much more than the last fews projects overall.
Last year for my Final Major Project for Animation I created a two minute animation called ‘Donny and Pete’ (2011), were you have a smart cat called Pete with a dumb human who knows nothing called Donny.
Donny and Pete
If I could have put this in my research I would have I saw this last year on the Aniboom Youtube page called: ‘Max and Monkey- A Bromance Aniboom Animation’ and was created by Alex Fass (web-site).
Max and Monkey- A Bromance Aniboom Animation
Alex Fass stated on his own web-site that the “Max & Monkey” concept was created both for the production and the pitch of an adult humored, animated television series. Max is a not so intelligent person, while Monkey is the intelligent one out of the pair of them, possibly the same characteristics as my characters, I think Donny is more stupid than Max in my opinion.
Max & Monkey was created by using three programmes:Autodesk Maya, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Also, using Cintiq, a graphic tablet you can draw into Illustrator and Photoshop instead of using a mouse.
My thoughts on the two animations. The first animation above have it’s own unique style with Maya, Illustrator and Photoshop altogether. The second animation below, if I didn’t know that the animation was created in Photoshop, Illustrator and Maya I think the animator was nearly copping my style with Donny and Pete. But, yet again I don’t believe his copping by style at all. But, personally the first animation has its own style more on its own compared to the second animation which was a bit more flat without the 3D style.
Anyway, great animations altogether.
