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
