Eggsacty! This is no yolk!

Here is a quick test I did today of an egg for a future project, enjoy!

Rock climbing tests for music video

I am very exited at the moment, as not only am i now working on recreating an old animation series that i have been longing to start for a long time, but I have also been asked to animate on a stop motion animated music video for a well known band.

I am not sure how much information i can disclose at present but to prepare for this animation i have been doing some very basic tests with an old armature.

I was told to practise rock climbing animation and here is what i have so far:

I have also started doing animation tests on the real puppets and sets, but i will have to ask permission before putting up anything from the acual video.

I start animating on this project properly Monday morning, i am very much looking forward to it.

As for my other project, i will post more soon.

Pub set

I realised in my last post that i didn't really explain the pub set that my latex figure was destroying so i thought that would be the topic for today:

So to start i took a painting by Van Gogh:

 

I then built the painting as a the set out of foam board to see how it would look and to get the scale right

 

I then built the set out of wood, foam board and paint, i tried to make the set look a lot like a painting and i think i achieved this very successfully.

And here is the painting and the set together so you can see how it works.
That's all for today really, but here is the link for the film again if you missed it:
