Scene Suggestions

I did a lot of these for the BBC adds. Here are a few. Just brainstorming random scenes to get going. It was fun, people blurting out content and me throwing it into a square on the page haha! Fast and messy!

Thumbnails/Boards

Here are some thumbnails done for a minute of flash animation I did this May. Tight budget, deadlines, and a small team prevented these from becoming proper boards. And yes there was a planned push in (or something) during the acting, he didn't just grow suddenly : P

BBC Kids_Story Boards

Busy times. Here are some story boards I did back in April(?) for Motionsoup Studio here in Vancouver http://www.motionsoup.com/.

There were two spots for BBC Kids done in a sketch book cut-out, motion graphic style. The deadline was tight and I didn't get to pose much out for the animators, so the boards were really rough and vauge. Fun times brainstorming.

You can view the finished pieces here:

November!

It's about time to go through the looming pile of paper that's piling up.....in a pile................it's a pile of paper.

Using my other hand..........

Here is a drawing I did with my left hand. I highly recommend drawing with your "bad" hand, it's great for thinking differently about whatever you're doing. I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that it's not a bad drawing either. The right hand might be a bit jealous. A co worker insisted it looked like OJ Simpson, so I added some gloves. I think it looks a bit like Glen Keane. Go right brain Go! Ramble Ramble Ramble.

New phase of drawing!

random sketches from work

MORE MONSTERRRRRRSSSSS!!!!!

MONSTERS!!!

I need to diversify my monster bonds. They all look the same.

"Eat me! Eat me! Over here!!!"

Cowboy and Monster

A rough flash experiment. Too bad for Cowboy.

More Stuff out of my head!!! and some people from the beach.

I want a cintiq.

Screencaps!!!

Ghostbusters is one of my favorite films. Here are some great Ray Stantz expressions, a great scene of Ray and Peter drinking, and the end of the world exchange with him and Winston.
The trk out at the end of the Ray\Winston scene really emphasizes the dialogue.


http://digitalius.csmalecki.com/ is where I found all these, it's an awesome site!!!! Whoever picks the screen caps there does a good job. Go there now!!!! I brought the shots into P-shop to see them in a more sequential format.

Here's the second of the Peter Pan illustrations. Not too happy with the line work on this one but it's done now! I do like the color however.

INSPIRATION

WOW!!!!!!

I spend a fair amount of time checking out artwork of all kinds. This stuff is just plain great.

Lecture!

Today at work there was an industry lecture given by the recruiter of a local studio. She didn't have the most expressive poses, but given an inch I'll take a mile when it comes to posing. It was a really good lecture too!

Demo Reel

This is really old stuff but I thought I'd throw it up here anyway just to see some work from Chaotic I did right out of school.

I love this stuff!
