So now that I have finished my first year, and the staff do not want us to leave yet, they have set a challenge for us. They want us to create a short 30 second animation.... in 72 hours.
WHAT!?!?!?!?!
Seems like a huge task after the work we had just completed yesterday, but as Daryl keeps saying.. no rest for the wicked
but I knew this was coming and had an idea in mind, I thought about John K and how the cartoons he worked on mostly went in for the cheap. They basically spent the most attention to layout in characters poses and used limited animation to get to the next. Which reduces the cost of inbetweening and gets the animated product out quicker.
As disturbing as that was, they used a lot cheats like repeating things and most focusing on key drawings.
which is similar to what I wish to do.
Here's Gobby the Thingamajig, the star of the little film I'm working on, and yer he is gonna be quite similar to a crazy john k character.
So the story goes, he jumps on to the screen and eats a sandwhich, then vomits at the screen. Because he sandwhich looks like this!
but I have been working very hard completing two modules of work which I have now handed in! YES!!!!! And hopefully some of the work will appear on the blog.
But first, I have been designing posters for my buddy Mike and his BAD EDIT event (mentioned in a previous post).
I decided to go all out and draw a bunch just for him, hopefully he picks one. Oh and yes they are mostly strange animals.
