Nothing i am

Ok so new term and new projects and this project named Industry Exercises 3 is basically to produce broadcast quality work for either Help third year animation students with there short films, produce some work towards Rave 2011 the final year show or to find an external client to work towards a brief.

I have chosen to be rather radical and do all three of these because i have agreed to work with colleagues on the course on a secret production project and i have an external client that wants a short animation done for a short film he is producing and finally i am working on a final year portfolio piece for a third year content development student. On top of all this i have agreed to do a few shots of animation for a third year film.

This is gonna be busy but i feel after this i will have 4 production quality pieces available to use for showreel and also to create contacts within the industry.

This is the brief for the external client


CHARACTERS

Ok so i have been busy creating the characters i was instructed to make the piece of animation to look like a child has done it these are the character descriptions that i was given by the client. 




Also the background is just simple as he asked for.


I had a meeting with the client and he was very happy with the characters and thought i captured them well. However he said "I think the background blue should be more filled in so that less pencil marks are visible. The second is that could for linking purposes we make Edmunds shorts white as well please and the last is that I'm wondering if you can dull all of the colour by about a third just to get it that back in the day feel".


Cheers my man, I'm very happy with the work.

ok so i made the changes that shane the client told me to do and this is what the final outcome in terms of character design goes.


So i have started animating now and i will be finished by my self set deadline of 20th June.


ok so this is a extract of what i have so far its been surprisingly hard because of other stuff to do and also having to draw like a child after years of art training. I did not envision it to be so difficult.anyway here is what i got
