Animating!

I've shared with you most of my pre-production for the film, but I realise that I've not shared any animation! I keep getting over-excited every time I do a test and I wish I could share all of my animation with you here on the blog. That would of course mean giving the film away so I'm just going to have to contain my excitement and post little tests here and there.

The Final Straight

Hello all! This week has been a little manic for me - I have until the only a small amount of time left to finish my film! 

I am sorry to report that all I have been doing, non-stop since my last post, is working on the film and so I have no new non-film related things to share with you. As I don't want to spoil any more of the film either, I would like to share with you a couple of photos I took in Cardiff around Easter-time.

Cardiff Castle in the sunshine.


The light in Roath Park was beautiful when I took these two - it was an overcast, grey day but the sunshine was very yellow, making some beautiful reflections on the water. Having a few photos of the outside world can be rather nice when you work for so long in a windowless room! These help me through the day!

More Character Work

Well, upon finishing my pre-production image I had 113 pages of work, some of which I've shared with you already, and I have some here too. It's not all of them, but I hope you enjoy these highlights.

A couple more promotional images/colour storyboards; these give you a feel of what the film will look like when it's finished.



I have shared with you plenty of drawings of mice but not too many of the bird. First of all, some studies:




And now coloured action sheets!

Finals


This graphic will be adapted into the title slide of the film. As it stands, it makes a promotional/teaser poster! Thank you to all those who gave me feedback on it, you know who you are! Also, here are some action sheets:
