I built a pitch bible and learnt how to take a project from early ideas to greenlight ready. I became familiar wirh the pipeline and production of animation during this course. I created an episodic cartoon series called George & George.
MA - Animation
This course focused on the production of an animation.
We began at pre-production, learning about budgets and how to manage our character designers, background artists and other freelancers as part of our final project. Planning and organising our workload, developing ideas, writing a script and working with other artists.
BA(hons) – Animation
This course was largely focused on animation techniques and finding out which area of animation we are most suited to. I found my passion in 2D animation (particularly hand drawn) and post production.
My Final Project was Dance of the Sugar Plump Fairy and was entirely animated in pencil and paper.
Diploma – Art, Design and Photography
The practical element of the diploma focused on the foundations of the creative industry. We learnt many different techniques, such as colour theory, working with different mediums as well as working with lighting and photographic techniques. How to market ourselves and developing our own artistic styles. The theoretical part of the course focused on art in film and television and how its linked.
This was one of my first attempts at animating music, this was done with a line tester, paint and pencil and was animated to Flight of the Bumble Bee
My first attempts at a Muybridge run cycle and studying quadruped locomotion. Using pencil, oil pastels and charcoal.
