Christmas card for the family (with download)
That crease in the middle's where the page folds, and I regret using tippex for the snow. The rest is ink and watercolour.

Two traditional tests I put together with some sounds. I drilled some screws into my scanner so now the pages are properly aligned.
2016-12-19 20:09:19 +0000 UTC View PostTheory to make camera pans in 2D animation more convincing without 3DCG
I haven't tried this specific idea just yet, but I did use a prototype in parts of Foxy Gets Hooked. In that the amount of distortion did not adjust, so it looked somewhat 3 dimensional, but more like a piece of paper bent in the middle like a cylinder. Here, the idea is that the distortion changes during the pan so that it's attempting to keep the horizontal lines straight at all times.
Stupid guitar sampling
Silly thing I made in about an hour or so, with a stupid beat put to a sample from a BD12 walkthrough video and The Goon Show.

Another stupid bangin' tune.
I love the "Wah Voice" preset on many cheesy Casio keyboards, so I made a drop out of it.
Starring a Realistic Concertmate-460 (aka Casio ToneBank SA-somethingorother), Dreadbox Erebus, Microbrute,Jasper (Wasp clone), and a lemon shaped shaker.

I'm a stealer ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H63gY2-n6dQ ) but it was fun making it.

Lo-res pencil test I took with Stopmotion Pro, a Sony Handicam, and one of those horrific EasyCap USB sticks a while ago.
The sound is terrible too ‘cause I recorded it with the camera’s in built microphone through the EasyCap stick.
I'd like to scan it properly at some point, but I can't get to align the pages properly just yet.

For a Christmas cartoon that, by experimenting with limited animation, might be done by Christmas hopefully.
2016-11-01 23:28:37 +0000 UTC View PostExcessive anamorphic style swirly bokeh
You may have noticed my obsession of trying to implement the unique anamorphic look in my animations. And I'm slowly beginning to see the science behind its strange and wonderful look. Here's my most recent attempt at simulating the anamorphic barrel distortion, breathing, and bokeh (with a rather wide angle lens and wide apeture).
Of course, I much prefer clarity over this craze of annoying shallow focus, but this look would be beautiful when used sparingly for close ups or the odd medi...

After Effectsy magical stage
It's hard not to get carried away here. Still some bits I need to sort out though.
I knew that aquarium footage I took during my holiday to Orlando would become useful one day!

Traditional animation test

Rough animation of Showreel title.
This is going at the start of a showreel I'm working on.
At some point I'll do a video on how I got round making the effects I did in After Effects later on.

Started doing inbetweens, some areas are super scribbly and incomplete, whereas others are rather tidy. I haven't got round to inbetweening Yoshi just yet.
