My Showreel.

Here is collaboration of all the things i've learnt over the last semester. Sorry it's so bady edited i'm still getting the hand of Premiere. 

Pirate Anamatic!

Once we had story boarded out script (See below post) we had to make it into an anamatic which would better portray the mood and the rhythm of the animation. It gave a much better idea of timing and transfers from scene to scene. I really enjoyed creating this even if Premeire did give me a small heart attack. (Thank you auto save.) After a slighty flustered retrieval i finished it off with a little bit of over dramatic music, that i understand...

 

 



Pirate story board!

We were given 3 scripts to choose from to storyboard, a scene from Nightrider, One about a badger and a zoo, and lastly some Pirates I chose the Pirates because i thought they were the most fun, needless to say it is perhaps easier to draw a car over and over again than it is a group of pirates but hey, lifes not always about the easy choices, right guys... Anyways! Here is my finised story board acompanied by the original script.

 

 

deck. The crew are crying out and running to their action stations.

The ship is lifted high on a wave and plunges down into the trough. Waves crash over the deck and wash into the hold where treasure is piled up.

The Captain comes running out of his quarters and drags himself up the stairs to the upper deck and the steering wheel. Rain pelting down, high waves looming on all sides and the ship rocking violently.

CAPTAIN (shouting)

All hands ahoy! Square the main sail! Lower the riggin! (He wrestles with the wheel) Swing us through, lads or we’ll all be sleeping on the sea bed with the fishes tonight, so we will!

SAILOR’S VOICES

- The ship’s too heavy in the water, Cap’n!

- She’ll never make it to port!

 

The ship starts to turn but as it does so a huge wave hits it side on. It begins to keel over and is lost to sight behind the mountainous waves.

You push that box.

Here is a nice little chap, i'm actually undecided on its gender, attempting to push a large box. Good luck, fellow.

I decided not to worry about using constraints during this animation and save that for making the Eleven rig pick up the box. (SPOILERS.) Haha, i actually quite enjoyed animating this it was amusing and fun to experiment with the movements and perhaps achieve some things that one would quite be able to pull off in real life, and by one, i mean you for i can do all these things.

It's quite hard to make the rig look as if it is physically pushing against something when in reality it is virtual and there is in fact no gravity or weight or any of those science things. In one way thats very fun because it means anything is possible, but on the other hand, it makes attempting to create something similar to reality, difficult.
