Canimation Update!

I'm in the top six for the Canimation competition!! I'm going to the Award Ceremony in London!!! :O I am ecstatic! I can't wait to see my animation on the big screen, meet so many interesting people, and experience this "glamorous" event! :D:D:D

Steampunk Goggles

Here are my goggles! My personal summer project.

I also made this cute bag to keep them in.

And here they are on my head :P

I wanted to make my very own epic steampunk style goggles. I am loving steampunk so much at the moment!

They are made from assorted types of leather and suede, some little brass buckles, and two large brass rings. And many hours of hard work and sore fingers - they were sown together completely by hand (because I don't have a sewing machine).

I am really proud of them :D

Wing Necklace

Here's a quick necklace I made a few weeks ago. I know it's pretty simple, but it's since become one of my favourites and I've had some compliments on it!

:D

Race Car creation stages

Hey there. Just decided to post a few photos documenting how I made the race car model from the Canimation.

The wire frame.

Building up the plasticine.

The bits on the sides are parts of cocktail sticks to attach the wheels, the point means they will turn very easily.

The finished race car (again).

:D

Ship (Canimation)

My little ship, it's actually supposed to represent a little salute to the upcoming Aardman film "The Pirates!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWOFLtsDvbw). I do love pirates... and Aardman... it's just a winning combination!

This is made from a very rough wire frame, plasticine and a couple of cocktail sticks.

Phew, that was a wonderful well needed blogging session :D

My "Studio"

My makeshift Studio :P I've got a rough variation on three point lighting with three lights I managed to gather from around the house, including a super bright one! And a really massive high-tech camera that I borrowed from Uni. I love creating these ridiculous "studio-like" settings!

This was a particularly precarious set... Yes - it's held together with string! :D

Canimation stuff

Ok, as I mentioned before, I was completely tied up with animating for the past few weeks, but I did take a load of photos during the process. I shall henceforth shower the page with related posts.

Let's start with some background creations :)

Teddy Bear from the bedroom scene.

The bed - obviously.

Background scenery for the race car scene, it needed something pretty.

More to come! :D

Red Bull Canimation

Red Bull Canimation from Hayley Kyte on Vimeo.

My entry for the Red Bull Canimation competition. This animation has been such hard work, I've been working on it for 3 weeks solid. I hope it was all worth it! Now to cause a sensation and get as many views as possible :D

Animation Preparation 2

Wallace and Gromit was on TV, I took it as a sign to attempt my favourite little character in my upcoming animation. Here he is, a (hastily made) widdle molar!

:D

Animation Preparation

The fruits of today's labour :)

I'm working on some plasticine models for my next stop motion animation. It'll be entered into the Red Bull Canimation competition.

:D

Vote

One of my films from last year. The brief was "What If?" and we were encouraged to tackle an important subject in the style of an ident or advert. I raised the question: what if nobody voted?

I'm not sure how successful this little film was, but I impressed myself by completing the whole project in under 4 weeks :)

My Car

Let's get this thing started with one of my best cardboard creations.

This is my costume for a "Supernatural" (the TV show) themed party, for which I was the iconic car. A '67 chevy Impala :P

Took about 2 or 3 days to make I think, it was a couple of years ago, in the days of first year and halls of residence. It's all cardboard, and held together by an awful lot of electrical tape!

I had so much fun making this :D

First Post

Hello!

So this is my first real post. I am probably going to add lots of things in the next few weeks, anything from the last few years that I deem interesting enough to share.

I am going to use this blog as a documentation of all the things I can make - that means graphics, products, animation and film, everything really!

Hope you likey

:)

Hello there

My new blog. It's fresh and clean and exciting!

:D
