Sequential Storyboard: When The Dairy Farm Caught Fire

 

Here is my portion of our current group assignment in storyboarding. This is verse 3 of the song, "When The Dairy Farm Caught Fire" by Marc Gunn.

 

Next step is the group Leica reel; which should be fun!

 

 

 

Lip Synch Animation: Man You Seek

 

My first attempt at lip synch and first animation of the new year, and golly it is lots of fun.

 

This is Sir Anthony Hopkins from The Silence of the Lambs, and the line is, "What does he do, this man you seek?".

Emily's Secret Santa Present

 

 

Since we are poor college students, we 2nd Year Animation students do secret Santa with drawings. I don't know how this was possible, but I got my best buddy Emily and she wanted Newton and Hermann from Pacific Rim; which is and amazing movie by the way.

"Leave Me Alone" Leica Reel and Storyboards

 

My Leica reel and storyboards for my story, "Leave Me Alone". It was a lot of hard work, but it got laughs from the class, so to me that is rewarding. All the storyboards cane be found below for your viewing please.

 

 

 

 

Expression Change :Amimation Assignment

 

An animation of a poor school girl just trying to do her work and getting blamed for something she didn't do; a.k.a. Me.

I know there is some body volume issues, but nonetheless it is still entertaining :)

3-Shot Layout and Painting

 

Two layout based assignments from last term. The first was to create a story with adding 3 additional shots to our previous layout assignment (the panel in the top right corner).

 

Then for painting we had to show our process work for how we build up our paintings into finals. I just used the interior of the previous layout assignment too.

Shego airbrushing experiment for painting.

 

I think I found my new love!

 

This was my first time trying traditional airbrushing, and golly, it was so much fun! I might do some more in class if I have time next week. Once again, it is Shego from Kim Possible. I feel she was the best thing to air brush since she has the glowing hands; so awesome :D

What I was doing instead of homework :P

 

 

I have been on a Kim Possible marathon as of late and I really needed to draw to help me blow of some steam and stress :) Growing up, Shego had to have been my favourite character from that show and my childhood in general.

 

 And after watching the show more closely with animation trained eyes, I discovered that show was stylized in so many different ways; it is crazy. Expect more Kim Possible art in the future!

Royal Winter Fair 2013

 

My drawings from the Royal Winter Fair this year in Toronto. I'm so pleased that they turned out way better than last years ;) Another good thing, we didn't smell as bad when we left the place either!

 

This was my fist time working with the brown pencil instead of blue or graphite, and I feel it did me wonders; especially for the fair drawings.

Painting Assignment #2: Interiors

 

This painting  also features characters from my current storyboard project as well. I really loved how it turned out for once :)

 

And the current kitchen theme? Let us just say I watch a little too much of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen for my own good.

Storyboard Assignment: Oiginal Story Beat Boards

This is our first storyboard assignment where we get to create the story that has the log line "Leave Me Alone" or "Where Am I?". I ended up choosing "Leave Me Alone" where a little lobster tries to find love for himself.

Halloween Surprise!

Walked down the hall today at school to see my horse drawing made it on the wall. I almost died/fell on the floor at that point. Best day ever! This was my first thing on the wall, so super excited. Let's try to make this a common thing :)

Layout Assignment: Art Direction

 

Our second layout assignment for the term. We had to take 2 thumbnails and work them into full compositions. The first one just screamed Assassin's Creed to me :) 

Storyboard Assignment: The Leader Storyboards

My final storyboards for the poem, The Leader. I'm Pretty happy with these, and I am glad I didn't have to redo too many of them; that is always a good thing!

Horse Life Drawing

 

For life drawing we had some horses come to our school to draw. This was done with conté on newsprint and rook around 40 minutes to do. I know there are some errors with it, but I am very pleased with how this turned out. This was taken with my phone, so forgive the quality :)

Wave, Boat, And Sack Animation

 

Here is my first animation assignment of Year 2. The wave, boat, sack assignment helps with timing, spacing and keeping objects both rigid and flexible. I had a lot of fun with this one, and I really love how the water splash turned out!

Storyboarding Year 2, Assignment 1: Story Beats

 

Here are my character line ups and story beats for our very first storyboarding assignment in year 2. They are based off of our own interepertation of the poems My Father by Kaye Umansky, and The Leader by RogerMcGrough. 

 

I'm going to be doing my next storyboarding assignment with the my work from The Leader story beats.

More 1st year animation work.

 

All this stuff was done mainly in the Fall term of 2012. I have my name card from Digital Tools, a sheep I drew at the Royal Winter Fair and then proceeded to colour out of boredom, and finally my painting textures, which I think turned out really well.

 

What can I say, I just really love textures :)

 

Here is my final demo-reel from my 1st Year of Animation at Sheridan College. I have a lot more awesome work that did not make it into the reel, put unfortunately I could not fit it all in. I will post more of it later on, hopefully before I start uploading new assignments from 2nd year.
