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

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

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
