The Shepherd is Out!

Hey all!

So at long last, the film I directed over the course of last year with Lasse Bruntse is out! If you love sheep, aliens or mysterious mountainside hermits, you might like this! You can go see it on Youtube or Vimeo, both of which I have linked below.

I hope you enjoy it!

I Return

Boy, it's been a long time since I last updated this blog!

Nowadays, I am nearing the end of an internship at LEGO in Billund, Denmark. Next year I have no idea what I will do, but I'll finally graduate from The Animation Workshop, and then it's out into the big wide world!

Lately my most recent work can be found more often on my new facebook page, which you can view here: https://www.facebook.com/JohnMullerArt/

Otherwise, here's some work from a creative environment design course I've been taking!

I've yet to decide what to do with my blog, but if I decide to move ship to another site permanently, I'll be sure to post it here.

Until next time!

The Shepherd: The Final Hours

We're entering the last two weeks of production on The Shepherd!

It's been a very tough few weeks with little time for personal work, which is why I haven't posted much recently. That said, last week Friday I did manage to produce a grumpy selfie of myself.

Until next time!

Star Wars Studies

Not too long ago a new teaser for the new Star Wars film came out. Being a massive Star Wars fan, I was compelled to do some studies from it. :)

This was a super fun exercise, and I'd really like to do some more some time. For the time being however, it's back to The Shepherd.

New Portfolio Site!

Our internships are coming up, and I've put together a new website to serve as a portfolio for my applications! You can check it out here. This site is the culmination of a lot of my work from the past year or so.

I even made a cool little logo!

Now it's time to send out some application mails!

Long Overdue Update

Hello again!

I realize it has been a month since I last posted, that's partly due to business and partly due to me moving my more regular updates to my facebook page, which you can view here: https://www.facebook.com/JohnMullerArt

From now on I think I will be moving to slower updates here that will be longer. At the moment that means that I have a lot more background work from The Shepherd to show you! We're currently about 6 weeks from the film deadline, so the animators are all-hands-on-deck while the CG's ferret around plussing backgrounds and comping. Below are some of my contributions.

It's a busy time as we prep for internships, try to finish the film and enjoy the sun as it is finally returning to Denmark, but I think the film is shaping up to be something special!

Until next time.

Backgrounds from The Shepherd

A few weeks ago we finished all the layouts for The Shepherd. Now we're moving into background painting, which is a nice change of pace! I've hand picked some of the more interesting ones I've made recently to show here. 

As you can see, there's a lot of work to go around! But it's a great deal of fun, and quite rewarding work after all the lineart. It's great to see some colour finally injected into the film.

More to come!
