My latest work during my second year at UWE

These are tests I created in Adobe After Effects for our team film 'Astro Antics'. This was for 'DepicT' as part of Encounters Short Film & Animation Festival.

Wales Trip

I recently went on a trip to Pembrokeshire in Wales as part of my animation course at Bristol UWE.
We were set the task of trying to capture the vastness of the landscape in our small A4 sketchbooks and also mixing this up with drawing the very small.

A change of environment after living in the center of Bristol was refreshing which helped me generate new ideas and gave me a fresh perspective.

Here is a selection of the photos i took while on the trip:

A collection of my introductory work completed in the first 4 weeks studying Animation at UWE Bristol.

Clay Animation: Three Balls

This animation makes use of non destructive "replacement" animation. It involves replacing the clay shape/shapes with other pre-made and slightly altered clay shapes to produce the illusion of movement.

We had to design, test and construct repeat/replacement shapes in clay to create a stop motion animation. Then we had to prepare audio files and synchronize them to the the animated clay in live capture window in Stop Motion Pro.

Clay: Test

A short clay stop motion animation test.

Zoetrope: Test

My first attempt at creating a Zoetrope animation. The objective was to explore basic movement and fundamental animation principals through historical cameraless techniques.
