Up and coming concepts for future projects

For the up and coming projects, I had to develop through the summer break two concepts for each of the two projects for Liquid Architecture and London Transport Museum – Goodbye Piccadilly, and if either clients idea one of my ideas, the concept will come to life, if not most likely be in someone’s group as an animator. So the ideas, starting with…



Liquid Architecture

Influence

My idea is influence by the declining of the City of Detriot, USA, which is currently bankrupt and mostly influence by Varasha, Famagusa in Northern Cyprus of how the abandoned of that part of Cyprus, after the civil war in 1974, when the country is stilt into two. And somebody dubbed the town as a ghost town.

Detriot, USA





Varasha, Cyprus





Concept

An architecture. Who is on holiday in a foreign country, in a town. The architecture saw an opening of a barb wire fence he craws into the hole, he enters an abandoned town. After the architecture looks around in amazed and shocked, he leaves the abandoned town he e-mails he architecture friends for ideas of a new town, goes to a meeting were the new town is approved of the concept. The story goes 15 years later of the new town, were the architecture is there.



How it will be made?

More than likely created in 2D, After Effects or Cell Action. But, if this was made in 3D, more than likely in Maya and would be the better option for this project.

London Transport Museum – Goodbye Piccadilly

Influence

My idea is influence by the research from the London Transport Museum the have given s research of the first world war. And I was influence by the audio of Anne Parker story with the B-Type bus.





Concept

Starts at a misty Piccadilly Circus, were you see Rose waiting for a bus going to Liverpool Street. Rose goes onto the B-Type bus, Rose goes onto the top level were she meets Anne the bus conductor. Then afterwards, they see a Zeppelin in the sky. The Zeppelin goes closer and closer to the bus, while the passengers are scared. Until, a Bristol M1c passes by and flew into the Zeppelin as it appears to be a cloud all along. The passengers are relaxed now, until a spot of rain appears. Rose gets to her destination and leaves the bus and Anne waves to Rose on the bus. Rose goes into the pub. While the bus oes into the sunset to conclude the story.





How it will be made?

More than likely to be created in Cell Action mainly. Also hand drawn and imported into photoshop to create the characters and passengers, and possibly After effects to create the finish product as-well.

More to explain in the next post soon.

Upcoming projects

For two upcoming projects coming up, we are in stage of developing some early ideas, I am still developing the concept, here’s some sketches on what I may do for the forthcoming project, more to explain in a future post.

Sketch books/life drawing classes, 2012/13, year 1

During my first year on the MA Character Animation course, I have done a few life drawing classes through the last eight months from October 2012 to June 2013. I did not had the time to upload them during term time, now I have time to spare, it is the right time to uploaded them. Unfortunately, I do not not have the space on this website to do so. But, I do on my other website, on this link right here   to find. So enjoy looking at them.

Waterloo sketches exercises

This post should have been posted around six months ago, but I forgot to do so. So better late than later. Anyway, the class went to Waterloo Station (13\2\13), to do a few drawing exercises. The morning exercise was to draw one area of Waterloo station and draw five different sketches of different views inside the station.



So therefore, I used the signboard above the centre of the station for my reference of the sketches below.



The afternoon session meanwhile, was to make a mini storyboard to create at least six sketches involving one person or more being in-an event that begins in Waterloo station and finishes outside by the river.





For that, I drawn down nine sketch to create my story with, which was a love story to find someone outside the South Bank Centre, were the story ends.

Final piece for BPMA

After weeks of researching and animating my final piece for the BPMA (British Postal Museum and Archive).

One big change was the audio for the animation. A few weeks back I had to change composer, due to scheduling problems. So I got a new composer and got the track down. But, the final piece had the sound effects remove due to it didn’t match up with the audio below and after a few times listening to it, I decided it to remove the sound effects.

For the moment I won't be uploading the animation for the moment, due to some technical problems. But for now here's some screen-shots below.





End of project.

One pissed off Horse (animated that is)

Final bit of my animation I need to do is the pissed off horse scene were my lead horse is pissed off by driver fixing the wheel and horse thinks his stupid. So I started off with the key-frames into the main animation first.



After that, I  gone onto the lightbox and started on my drawing the in-between frames, then jump onto Flipbook, to check out if the in-between frames worked.



Also, I played around with some frames and delete them as I felt the animation could be too smooth and too slow.



After some feedback, the first option was better than the second option. So I scan the images and jumped into Photoshop to paint the scene. Place the frames into After Effects for the final animation.
