Animation cantation
Now for those of you who do actually stop by and look at this (I know there at least three of you), this artBlog is now also being for my animation studies. So now there's a good reason for me to post more active like and not just do it in dumps.
Moving on. I figure seeing as I'm studying animation, it would be worth putting the few that I've worked on here. After all they were all done before animation school and it would be better chronologically for them to come first rather than later. That or I have some really warped logic going on upstairs.
So let us proceed onto the few projects I have worked on in the past.
Please keep all extra limbs inside the vehicle at all time, and please no flash photography. You'll scare away the creature asleep at the desk that is known as the animator.
Order is as always. Oldest to newest. Click on the titles to go through to the animations.

The year was 2005. A group of first year design students were having their end of year exhibition. As the jobs got divvied up an idea occurred. With two students keen on animation why not make one as an introduction to the class. And so myself and another student got given the task. We concepted the design for each of the other students and teachers (which can be seen in the background). Before animation could be started said other student dropped out of the project and I somehow pulled the rest together in Flash in two and a half weeks.
2006, major project for the second year graphic design students. I stumbled across some beautiful music by Helen Trevillion, which in turn sparked the story. After getting permission to use her song, Over the Waterfalls, the animation was story boarded onto paper, revised then taken to the computer. Drawn entirely in Flash it took eight months to complete.
2007. Not much to say about this one. Took about an hour to produce.
2009. A promotional animation for the mob I was working for before I gave up good money and position of power for the life of a starving student. The red & blue houses and the logo were pre-existing (in other words I did not draw or create them). The rest was hand drawn and created in flash. Took about 3 months to complete. My roles during the duration of this project included script consultation, storyboarding, rough and final animation, and sound (special effects and voice over).
Now the last thing I have to write about, because I technically can't just go show it off like the above, is Being Safely Smart.
Developed by the University of the Sunshine Coast and Queensland Police Service, this project ran from mid 2007 right through to the end of 2008 (yup, a year and a half) and at the beginning of 2009 had a short exhibition along with it's launch. stages were designed to read in a comic-book like style mixed with animation followed then by a game. The final finished product was an 8 level online game.
Roles covered a number of areas including: concept art; storyboarding; script consultation; rough and clean-up animation; and character, game and environment design. I was the only animator on the project (and only person who had any idea on how it should be handled). A couple of other freelance artists were brought onto the project, however they did not stay on long enough to contribute much work.
