Images from the Animation

Here are some images from the animations. As you can see we went for a 101 Dalmatians, Rhubarb and Custard feel. I think it works quite well. Don't you. The sketchy style gives a nice hand drawn contrast to the computer animation that should follow. I believe it could stand up as a professional advertisement.

Coloured Tests

Just an update. Al has been very busy and says he has nearly finished the Sony Boy model. I hope that I can see it soon. After scanning the pictures into photoshop, I applied a threshold and altered the Brightness and Contrast to darkened the outlines and get rid of the lighter lines. Some construction lines re-main and it gives it a sketchy 101 Dalmatians look. After that I exported the scenes out as filmstrips via aftereffects, took them back into photoshop and coloured each frame in individually. That was so tiring and frustrating. I have done three scenes already and have only two scenes to go. The coloured filmstrips were then taken back into aftereffects, turned in tiff sequences, and then taken into premiere and exported out as avi files. I am hopefully gonna get all the scenes done by Friday so I can help Al with the computer animating of Sony Boy and the models.

Progress

Hi,

I have just finished the animation entirely. I have spent the entire day yesterday scanning all the animations into photoshop. I am now worried because they all have to be cleaned-up and edited. No real computer work has been done yet and the music tracks haven't been decided. Oh, and the deadline has been moved up.

New Sony Boy Pencil Animations

Well, here are the next three scenes of rough Sony Boy animation. I hope you enjoy them. They need to be cleaned up and then have the objects superimposed in. They need to be finished to. Too much work.










I decided to put the unfinished television scene up. I like it, but I think it needs to be slowed down.

Sony Boy Lives!!!!

Sony Boy Lives!!!

This is my first scene of completed Sony Boy animation.
I am really quite pleased with it.

Now for more animation.

Nickeleon Idea

This is a new little idea I had for the Nickelodeon project. It's about a big, walking, talking lollipop. HE is always being chased by people who want to eat him, like these flappy head frogs, and is afraid he is going to shatter into pieces.

I got the idea from this:

Here is a screenshot from my walkcycle animation that I have posted earlier.
