TAP

As I mentioned a few days ago, myself and some other Animation students at the University of Wolverhampton decided to make a short film to practice our skills and for entry into various competitions/festivals. Hope you enjoy.



"'Tap' is a short film made by three first year animation students (Andy Edwards, Patrick Fowler and Tom Massey) at the University of Wolverhampton. As the three 'tap' into their ideas, they're brought to life before them."

"Tap" Preview

An upcoming short film made by myself and three other Animation students at the University of Wolverhampton.

District 9

I'm a huge fan of Neill Blomkamp's "District 9", and after seeing some concept and fan art I was inspired to have a go at some drawings of the alien characters myself.

Push and Pull

After many problems (I hate Autodesk Maya!), here are my finished Push and Pull animations.

Human Form Sketches

For my 'Animating the Human Form' module, I've had to do some life drawing and sketches. Here's a pick of my favourites:

Spartan 117

I've been a fan of the Halo games for a while and love the games and characters. Here's a pencil sketch of Master Chief.

Animatic

For my 'Pre-Production and Planning' module, I had to create an animatic for a planned short film. The animatic needed to tell a whole story clearly and carry a narrative... I chose to make mine about a man losing his 'winning' lottery ticket.

Reitermania!

For my 'Editing Theory and Practice' module, I had to create a short 'art film'. I decided to collect some old and quirky footage and put it to a song. After collecting some footage, I decided to use Die Apokalyptischen Reiter's 'Seemann'.

Walk Cycle

Walk cycle for my 'Animating the Human Form' module. I took the look of the character from an elderly man I spotted at the Mander Centre in Wolverhampton.

Lip Syncing

For my 'Animating the Human Form' module, one of the tasks was to create a short lip sync. For my first attempt, I used ToonBoom to create a lip sync of a Forrest Gump quote.



... and for my final piece, I just had to use a Back to the Future quote!



... and I think the character even has a lil' Doc. Brown in him!
