One of my many 3D animations created this term, squash and stretch bouncy ball. 

Student Short Film The brief was to create a film that had to last under 90 seconds (not including the credits). Edited within Premier Pro

Old images of an experiment using different angled mirrors to produce obscure shots of combined typography forms.

I enjoyed the Clip ‘Biggles’ where the animation follows the pilot on his little adventure where he is trying to shoot down another plane. It is the use of the colours within the scene that grabs my attention the most as well as the camera movement as its never facing straight on the animation but always tilted similar to a Dutch angle the camera tends to be straight on when it’s a close up onto the character within the scene.

There’s one scene where we notice three different styles of animation that seem to work well together however the one problem I find for the scene is that one of the characters looks like a villain from Scooby doo. The character is supposed to resemble a Russian solider the artist used mainly blue colours for this character to give the audience a change of atmosphere changing the dark gloomy atmosphere to a chilling atmosphere.

One of my favourite scenes within the film is when Mary's alcoholic mother is grieving inside the shed where her dead husband used to stuff bird’s after his shift at the factory he used to work at before retiring. In the scene, we watch her mother slowly die as the birds look down on her that gives the audience that the birds are inferior then her.

Just a couple of images from our location scouting for the student short live action film.

A collection of animations I've created during my first term at MMU, using variety of programs such as Autodesk Maya2016, Animate CC/ Flash, Dragonframe and Premier Pro CC.  

Experimental animation created with Gelatin

MMU Animation task week one bounding ball with added textures using Maya 2016.

Week two of 3D animation using Maya, task two moving, rotating and resizing a polygon cube with key frames.

This is a copy from google of the design ‘Barns In Snow’ created by Eyvind Earle with watercolours. I admire the way Earle creates a cold atmosphere just by looking at the design. 

I have a strong admiration for the artist Jon Measures I really like his designs as they are mixed media never just one medium. Something I would love to experiment with in my free time. 

My first task for 2d animation was to create a jumping box person, whilst using the animation principles of stretch and squash. A similar effect to this bouncing ball. (Click the image to see the Video)
