Updates

I've always hated Easter. The closed shops, reduced public transport, etc. But this couple of weeks break has really helped me get ahead with my animation project. I'm now 40 seconds into the animation, and aiming to be at 1 minute 30 before I resume uni next week. The film also has the working title of 'Old Romantic' now... in reference to the elderly cupid character and the phrase. We'll see if that sticks.

Hopefully I'll be in a position where I can start putting up clips from the film and making some kind of teasers/trailers from next week.

CITV School Ident Animatic

A pretty much complete animatic for my new CITV ident, which I will be pitching this Friday.

A school boy's day is made more exciting when CITV brings some fun into the classroom.
A flash animated ident that exposes every child's desire for CITV to bring some colour to their school day.

CITV Character Designs

Just thought I'd put up the designs and concepts for my new CITV ident as I did for the last. Having a production meeting with my tutor and classmates tomorrow and I'll have all this plus an animatic ready to pitch next week :)

CITV Ident #2

Here's a peek at the main character of my next CITV ident. In the ident, CITV adds a bit of excitement to this boy's school day.

The Final Push.

Firstly, a belated Happy New Year! Secondly, yes, it's the final push. The final semester of my animation course at the University of Wolverhampton. This next few months (hopefully!) see the completion of my first short film and the start of a good footing towards the industry.
I will begin animating within the next 2 weeks at the latest, and will keep this blog up to date with all my progress.
Once again, I will be making an animated ident for CITV. So I'll keep posting on that the same as before!

Final Film Characters

These are the young/old cupid characters for my final project at uni. Could go few a few changes before next year, but pretty happy with the designs for now.

CITV Ident

25 of us presented our finished idents to CITV's Creative Director yesterday. My ident was chosen as 1 of 5 deemed to be ready for use, so I'm very happy with that! As long as it passes their checks and they definitely want to use it, it should be put out on their channel some time next year! Fingers crossed.

Finished CITV Ident

The second CITV ident pitch is this Friday and after many hours and some serious cramps, it's finally finished.

Hopefully they'll enjoy it!

More Final Film Drawings...

Untitled Final Film Blurb

Since I haven't posted for a little while, I thought I'd update my blog with a blurb for my currently untitled final film:

"A young cupid is on his daily rounds when he discovers people in love with things they really shouldn’t be... he races to correct these problems until he finally discovers the source - a near-blind and elderly cupid working in the same area. But will he be able to confront him and end his destructive work?"

In the next week or so, I'll be working on some concept designs of my characters using my existing sketches and story boarding the film, so hopefully I'll be able to share those with you also!
