below is a good e4 ident that made the finals in the E sting comp.

this is my 2.5D animation. Not to happy with the final outcome but learned some cool stuff about how to produce animation in cinema 4D

Our new project is doing an E4 ident. Here are some existing ones that i like. This one is a nice retro manga style.

here are some more life drawings from last week. I am happy with some of the results and it was good drawing practice. The one above is done with ink and a stick. 

               this one above is done with charcoal and chalk

                 This one we were told to draw over our pictures when the model changed position.
                Red and black drawing ink

                    Ink. Drawing, one over another as the model moved.

I thought I would show you the studio i've got set up as I am pleased with how it is. I've got the speakers at the end there, then theres my computer and drawing tablet, scanner printer, light box, and nearest is my drawing board. Everything I need, now I just need to master the art...

Here is one of my life drawings.  Sorry about the poor picture quality on my blog. My camera is not all that and the light is kind of bad. Anyway this is what we were doing all last week.

I had an assignment to design a character, the brief said it had to be a skinny character, so I had a go at sketching some thin female figures. Here is a few

As promised here is my next animation that i am not at all happy with. The ghosting is all wrong, the run cycles are jerky and there is lighting where there shouldn't be. Not to mention the lack of story line. But i was working to a deadline, perfection cant be rushed. At least I know the faults. Anyway, enough moaning and excuses, here it is. Ok sorry. For some reason the video could not be uploaded. Ill have to save it in a different format and i'll post it soon!

Cinema 4D

Heres some scenes from the animation to show how they are set up

I have to hand in my animation this week and it is almost finished. This module was cool but made me realise just how time consuming pose to pose is on this programme. I've spent looooooooong doing it and i might just have 30 seconds of film and i'm not entirely happy with the quality, but its all a learning curve. When the animation is edited on premierre pro and ive put a track to it ill post it.

  Heres some expressions of my characters (most of which i didnt get to use.)

This is my first post in too long and im kind if behind so here is a rough timetable to help me get organised.
