WatchSlightly clearer copy?
Note: The dialogue is really quiet from the original, get them speakers up!
WatchStop the motion!
Here it is! Finally finished my motion piece & thought I’d post it up here. Sorry about the quality, but as I’ve mentioned before, Tumblr does not seem to deal well with big video files & this at full quality is a bit of a big one.
From earlier posts about my intended ideas, you will notice I have taken on board the style of the Juno introduction, whilst...
Ice, Ice Ba...Yes, we know the rest.
After looking over the Roses briefs, I’m pretty certain that the ‘sell ice to eskimos’ will be the best one to attempt. I had a look at the coalition one & although I thought of some good opposites, I felt like, ‘well, what would I do now?’.
I figured whoever has made the ice brief, has to be a bit tongue in cheek as, generally, eskimos are actually referred to...
Doing work on my birthday.
That’s dedication right there.
WatchEat my shorts Tumblr.
I’ve not posted up here for awhile because at the moment I am focusing on motion but Tumblr just does not seem to like any of my videos & I’m having trouble uploading them. Mainly, I’ve been focusing on getting all the imagery together so that I only have to put together all of the pieces & animate them in After Effects. So far I’ve got about...

It’s Alive!
Quick experiment for motion - drew over the same picture 5 times to get 5 same, but ever so slightly different images on a budgie. The effect of this was to create a kind of natural movement to the budgie, as nothing stays stationary apart from lifeless objects. The end result was quite pleasing, it looks like the little critter is breathing. Ahhh, I’ve created life!
WatchJust a short clip I’ve been messing around with. Seeing as my animation is lending itself to drawing over either film or a series of photos, I wanted some stop frame animation in there, as it’s always a nice little touch I find & it’s quite easy to do. After looking over my storyboard (to be put up here soon for pure amusement really - its got a shaved budgie in it) I realised if you were just...
Monday, Monday
I’m referring to this as Monday, as I’ve not yet been to bed, so it’s still monday in my mind! After a mountain of work to climb on friday, I think I’m finally there with this rebrand brief! The magazine layout finally works, flows nicely & fits well together with the whole highly stylised & sophisticated aesthetics of the catalogue & business cards - just the...
Can't believe I'm actually enjoying editorial!
I just can’t believe it because it’s a complete turn around! In the space of a week! And now I’m sat here on a Friday night, messing around with the arrangement of my Maggie’s catalogue & actually enjoying it.
Whether it’s any good or not however, is another point entirely.
