Animation history & research!

Animation research/set design research from my sketch book.

Life drawings

This was my first life drawing, I soon realized that just drawing the silhouette wasn't capturing the full body movement.

I then did some research on drawings with movement. One of the many books I looked at struck me when looking at body movement through a different perspective. I soon realized that the body is actually made up of ovals.

I tried many different ways of drawing figures during movement. I focused on using charcoal and then moved onto pencil.

I found I was taking a lot of time when drawing with pencil. Drawing with charcoal reminded me that drawing with so much detail wasn't necessary at this stage.

I found it really easy to draw with charcoal. I was able to produce sketches like the one above in just 30 seconds.

Again, drawing from observation using ovals.

I was able to explore many different body movements when sketching from observation at the local swimming pool.

Drawing from observation at the gym.

Animation techniques - skeleton.

After time, I found that drawing from observation was becoming a lot easier. 

MISTERBONEJANGLESPHOTOGRAPHY

I have been taking photos for my local business 'MisterBoneJanglesPhotography' for just over two years now. I receive calls from all different ages of people for promotions, gifts and portfolio purposes.

I received an email from a boy that had been scouted at a gig and had been asked to produce some more tracks from a record label. He used this photograph for his album cover.

This was one of the first photos which I took back in late 2009.

AARDMAN HOUSE DAY!

After being made events photographer at school, I took photos during our year 6 transfer day.

 

There are 12 forms in each house and there are 5 houses. I am in Aardman house. Each of the 12 form groups in Aardman did different things for the new year sixes which would be coming into their form group. 

Horror movie storyboards!

I have been planning an animation inspired by an interactive haunted walk through attraction which I went on in Blackpool. In each room of the walk through, there was a different theme. I plan on doing something similar with my animation, a different theme for each room. My first room is the 'Nightmare' room taken from The 'Nightmare on Elmstreet' character Freddy Krueger.

I have planned a large wet room (shower block) like one in the movie IT for my Pennywise the clown themed room. Pennywise is going to appear from the drain.
