Short Paintings

It's been a very busy few weeks with pre-production and DLO (Digital Layout) for our trailer project. Sadly I don't have much to show for it yet. However I have been doing a lot of short paintings!

Apparently I like blue a lot. All of these were 30 minute exercises. My painting is definitely one of my weak spots that I want to dramatically improve, so you'll be seeing more of these short paintings.

I Return!

Wow, after a long holidays we are back at TAW and straight into production on our new trailer project. Apologies for the lack of updates, I'll be revamping the blog and getting everything up to speed here within the next few days!

End of First Year!

So, my first year at TAW has come to an end! It's a bit bittersweet, however I have come a long way and made a great deal of friends. :)

Here is my showreel for the highlights of this year.

Looking forward to next year! I might post a few things over the holidays (I have some summer projects planned), so check in once in a while.

Lights Out!

And here it is, our Short Short Film. :) Enjoy!

Design with Peter Chan

Last week we had the legendary Peter Chan come to our school to teach us design and storytelling.

He was a very inspiring figure and gave me a lot to think about as an artist. He encouraged us to tell stories by creating 'moments' in our artwork. He also challenged us to move out of our comfort zones, so I ended up doing some anthropomorphic pirates!

We also finally screened our short short films, and they seemed to be well recieved! I will upload ours here shortly.

A Dinosaur to Pass the Time

So, today we composite our film and tomorrow we screen it for the first time!

While we wait, I made a dinosaur plushie for the credits.

Next week is Peter Chan and the reveal of our film to the rest of the world. Exciting times!

Backgrounds for Lights Out

This is our last week of production on the Short Short Film Project. It's been a pretty intense ride and I finally have some stuff worth showing! These are the backgrounds I have made for the film so far:

With a little luck and some hard work the film will be ready for screening to the rest of our grade by Friday, and we will show it to everyone else a week after that (so we can get our sound edit together).

May the 4th (Star Wars day to the uninformed) has come and gone, and as an avid Star Wars fan I felt compelled to make a little fan art in the midst of the busy production schedule.

The rest of this week is major crunch time as we make the last push to the deadline, and this weekend will hopefully be spent sleeping in the sun. Being an artist is a fantastic life.
