Final!

Finally finished my animation! I've learnt a lot from this project, spent quite a few nights with After Effects on one side of the screen and google on the other because I kept forgetting how to do things! In all I really enjoyed using it, and it's something I'd really like to play with more Here we go!

Testing....testing

Played around in After Effects today to get a feel for my idea, and here we are
Reaally really love the effect that the light gives it!

Building up....

Drew a few sketches of trees and sunshines and built them up along with textures created with ink and sponges and watercolour paints, and voila! 

 

Apples

Tried out a bunch of different ways of colouring these apples, I decided that red would show better on a green tree, I thought acrylic would be the best choice to give the image a similar, less-detailed aesthetic that matches the imagery I found when researching the 1950's.

Ended up picking the two watercolour pencil options, and gave them a little character.

I Can Animate!

Had a last minute session last week with Toby where he introduced us to this program we've all been hearing so much about. There's a great set up in the studio with cameras and lights and what not and he kindly provided us with some lego to play around with and use to get a feel for the program. Here's a couple of videos, a joint effort between myself and Craig, not bad!

Apple development and edible eyes

One glorious day at work we got these edible eyes in on delivery, and I bought a whole load because what a fab way to begin figuring out what my little apple will look like!

I had a little too much fun with these
