12 Principles Infographic

This little project was just an exercise I undertook to aid in simplifying the techniques needed to create animation. I felt creating an info-graphic was a good way to demonstrate this.

Eddie Animatic

I have now finished getting my Extremes into flash and have pushed some of the poses a little further to make sure Im giving this animation as much life as possible. Unlike past work I am trying to really spend a good amount of time getting the foundations of my piece as good as possible. After this I will go on to fill in the inbetweens and then doing a final pass of the line work and adding colour. 

This is also the first time I will be drawing everything in flash as I usually use Photoshop for sketching as its tools are a little friendlier however I want to try and push myself and this seemed like on way to do so

Trial at video teaching

As a way of testing the waters in a sense to teaching something through video format I decided to create a lesson explaining an effective way to get solid line work using photoshops line tool. This was in response to a post on an digital art forum of someone asking for ways to improve there linework in there digital pieces. I created this video after a few retakes as I discovered I have a lot of ums and aws whenever there was a gap in speaking. I found it is actually more challenging than I thought to record a lesson when you have no way to gauge the intended audiences reaction.
