Prototype of the tower. Found that having the character be a climber mirrors the tension of building the tower, as your on edge that it will fall. Just need to test how it animates now with the footage

#Rotoscoping a climber for a project I'm working on

It's still in the ruff stage as I get all the frames sorted for the #animation

The final outcome will have all frames printed on cards, used to build a tower to mirror the climber ascending

A little breakdown of how the laser finger guns were put together

Filmed my hand with my phone and keyed out the background. It's the same hand, just mirrored for the red one and then cutting up the time.

The laser was made using shape layers and glow effects

Reminiscing about the time my animation had a technical issue in the gallery I was in. Taken them a while to sus it cause they thought it was part of my video 🤣

Couldn’t be mad cause I see what they mean. I wish it was intensional. Looked cool

Vortex #animation from FreakStar #musicvideo

The band liked the theme of hands and retro effects. I liked the character portraits in Star Fox. So copied that for the band faces

They wanted the video to get busier as the video progressed. So I set it up to look like levels progressing in a game

Making a neon vortex in After Effects. Showing the build up of each shape

It's all done with repeaters on each shape. It's a nice simple but cool motion graphics effects

Making community driven #animation in Stanley

Trying do a #stopmotionanimation in one day and at a busy central bus station is a challenge but doable with a great team

Got to work with No More Nowt and the local community to have the making process just as important as the outcome

#animation inspired by the band NOVYI LEF

Wanting to make something like this after seeing the videos for Alice Glass at the Wide Awake Festival this year

This isn't an official video for NOVYI LEF I just like the band so listen to them

Making Barrier Grid #animation

It uses an image made of lines (a moiré pattern) moving across a line grid cut out of card. Pulling the image across produces the illusion of movement similar to how a #zoetrope works.

Jules Verne exhibition i went to at IDEAL in Barcelona.
Amazing use of #animation to help bring his work to life. In the room, you were taken to each world in an amazing display. I wasn't allowed to film but they also had an amazing #VR experience that was the best I've used.

Made a controller in #blender to make plants bloom on objects. Here is some test footage I made for the band FreekStar #animation #musicvideo
I wanted to control the speed and plant amount any time in the video.
Effects like this is why I love Blender
