After my tutorial/crit, which I spoke about in a previous post here, I had a few further things to improve on. I have since then managed to create the series of illustrations into 3D objects. This has been a good outcome as I have found that it is great to be able to hold my … More Between The Lines – Further Outcomes
This project was a great insight into how I can make my artwork into something else. A moving image. Getting illustration to another level of practice. I enjoyed research into various types of motion imagery which really sparked ideas and inspired me to try out different things. Making try outs of different motion imagery was extremely valuable … More Evaluate and Reflection – Moving Image

He goes through step by step some simple and very effect tools in which to create objects, lighting and general application interface basics. The first tutorial was to to create a bottle and be able to put water inside. The … More Cinema 4D Tutorial
Above is the final animation video for the moving image project. I have taken the comic book I made from the Getting Weird Project, and made it into a motion comic book. I did the whole animation using layers and frames within Photoshop. I scanned my inks (from the comic book) into P and cut out all … More Animation Outcome
Here is a quick animation I put together to use the boiling effect. I have chosen a random picture from my favourite TV series, The Walking Dead. I drew the image 3 times, one drawing on its own separate layer. I then placed each drawing into frames, with a random selection of layers for each frame, thus … More Animation Boiling Test
I have found a new love for motion comic books. Whether they are animated from stills, or completely reassembled. I found that from my insight into animation that the process can be very long. To think, for the human eye to see motion is a clear state we need to make motion/animation/film at 25 frames … More More Animation Research
Looking into different styles of animation, I am trying to find something I connect with. I love the idea of stop motion animation, it can create some really wonderful and weird movies. However, I may be thinking a little to ambitiously for this short project. I looked into a current feature film completely using stop … More Animation Research
Stop Motion Animation Test
After the charcoal test. I wondered to myself if it would be quicker to just work straight into Photoshop. Creating layers, drawing and putting them into animation frames as I go along. It was working how I wanted it to, however I had a bit of trouble organising my layers. Nonetheless, I have learnt from my mistakes, taken … More Motion Animation Digital Test
Kieron gave a workshop talk about how to go about making a puppet for when creating a stop motion animation piece. He went into create detail about what materials are best to use, and demonstrated the process of using these materials to craft out a puppet. He stated that the best puppets are ones that … More Stop Animation Puppets – Kieron
