DESIGN PROCESS: Adding Expressions into my work



A few basic expressions I used for the wiggle and rotation of my assets. I could have also inserted a slider control and parented the layers to give me more freedom, however on this particular it was not neccesary. My knowledge on expressions is slowly but surely increasing!

Testing pace and rhythm of animated swirls




http://vimeo.com/19809025

A short video to convey hand drawn swirls. I wanted to create an animation that would help the lead from the left of the screen, gradually to the right. I will use a stroke to help animate my hand drawn swirls from one side of the screen to the other. Pace, rhythm and timing will be an important factor!

Initial Design for Interactive Menu


A draft design for an interactive menu which is currently being implemented for the navigation screen within a Mercedes car. The menu was created in Photoshop, but I am currently in the middle of modifying it as after much consideration I did not feel the style was too appropriate. Keep posted for the final version!

Cacoon Entertainment


A short animation for my fictional production company. I made this company for the purpose of my final year project and this animation will feature at the start of my film trailer! A few tweaks with the colours and easing the keyframes in and out and then I'm finished!

Test Render for 3D seqeuence


A short test render I conducted in 3Ds Max for the start of my final year project. As you can see it needs alot more work in the texturing and lighting department, but it seems to be getting there. The next step is to render as a PNG and bring it into After effects to begin some post production!

Testing out a new set of brushes

Just downloaded a new set of environmental brushes from http://www.brusheezy.com/, so thought I'd test them out and make a little design on land pollution. Just in case you're wondering why, pollution was going to be my topic for my final year project.......until I came to my senses!

Vector Art on Illustrator

A tutorial I followed to help me improve my skills on illustrator. The picture needs a little more work and some more attention to detail but I reckon its a good start.
