5 min sketch of a woman from a magazine... I liked the angles and different textures of the material.

Rose in water

Not the most perfect thing I've ever painted... but I decided, since I'm trying to be more experimental with things and keep drawing/painting as a regular habit, I'd put up everything I do so I can see where I'm going wrong! Hmmm.

Extra material for Integrated Project level 4

These are some other images used in our project. The instructions leaflet and CD cover were designed by me using my own original imagery (and the waiter image from another member) after our group decided it would aid our project. It was well received by critics as no other groups had considered the idea.

  

Kitchen scene finished game element

This is the finished game element of the candle snuffer section of the project. The user must first navigate the kitchen to find the candle snuffer. Once found the user is led to a page which will contain in depth factual information and a 360' rotating photographic image.

French kitchen scene

Based loosely around the French style of animation (e.g. Les Triplettes de Belleville) this is a messy, fun, kitchen scene which forms the basis of an interactive searching game being created in Flash as part of our Intergrated Project, aimed at a younger audience.
Created using Photoshop.

Movie C

Stylised Walk Cycle with character overlay - Sneak

Here I tried to demonstrate someone sneaking, as if they were trying to avoid being seen and doing something mischievious. I used the basic puppet and After Effects to create an initial cycle and then when I was happy I did a character overlay on top using Photoshop. I then imported the .jpeg sequence back into After Effects and rendered it out with a table. I used videos from youtube for inspiration.
I included pauses in the cycle to slow down the movement and stretched one cycle to just over 2 seconds rather than the 1 second in the other cycles. This was to make the movement seem more calculated and careful.
Basic puppet sneak cycle which I drew over:

Muybridge animal rotoscope

Part of assignment was to rotoscope some Muybridge images to create an animation.
It was really interesting to see how much the cat stretched and squashed during the leaps so I tried to use the colours to emphasise this.

Run cycle using puppet

This is the run cycle I submitted using the same puppet and After Effects again.

The majority of frames were hand-created, there is very little AE in-betweening as I feel this makes for a  more realistic movement.
