Telford Film Festival 2010

Last night I attended Telford's 2nd annual Film Festival at Oakengates Theatre. A pleasant evening with 14 short films shown including work from primary schoolers, college and university students and of course, my own film "Tap". The film seemed to be enjoyed by all and it was a great feeling to have my work shown to a large audience like this for the first time. All the filmmakers received a prize of chocolate and a £20 voucher. Hopefully the film will also do well elsewhere. Thankyou to Telford Culture Zone and Telford Film Festival :)

"TAP" at Telford Film Festival

Well well. I've been posting and submitting the 'TAP' film around various sites and competitions and I've just received news that the Telford Film Festival has shortlisted the film into its 12 film showreel! Quite chuffed at that :) The event takes place at Oakengates Theatre (The Place) in Telford on Tuesday 15th June. Should be a good night! I'll let you know...

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'.
