Jewellery in Motion

Animation & Jewellery collaboration

I proposed the idea of having animation on cogs in our first meeting, while it was well received however we did not know what would the object it self be.

After some brain storming and discussing, I brought up an advert for Omega watches.

This gave us a basic form and structure we are striking for, but making a watch itself was way too complicated for the student from jewellery. Therefore instead of creating animations on top of the functionality of the object, it would be a great idea to create one which its function is to animate.

I found out by using the formula of gear ratio we would be able to create a very fast rotating cog (Output) by adjusting the cog (input) it is attached to.

Formative Hand In

4th Year Final Animation Characters After discussing with my tutors, I have decided to go with an overall limited colour palette of old paper unless the characters are under certain lighting. This is achieved by having a base layer, then a layer of 3 colour range is added. Which is then set as overlay in post production. Production After the rigging of the characters I am ready to being production. I ahve already prepared most of the parts needed. The boat and paddle When setting up a scene, I extract the different components of my drawing and add depth to it in Maya Once of the main concern was the water aspect of the film. This is solved by applying a ramp shader with 2 colour on a ocean layer after converting it into polygons. As you can soo the ocean are too off with the style I am looking for. After applying the ramp shader it fits much better. Music I have been working with Ollie Yang on the soundtrack of my film. Password: rootandcur...

Memory Project

Project about my childhood memory This is a project that is still on going, it will be done by drawing the moving body parts on Photoshop and animated on Aftereffect. The out line of the story is... When I was a kid, I used to be obsessed with a TV show call Ultraman. It is about a giant superhero who fight monsters to project the earth. One day my mom came home with a present, it was Ultraman's transform device. (that is frames of the curtains moving) However I weren't happy at all, this was because I truly believed I could transform into Ultraman with the device. And as a 10 years old I did not know what to do with such power. So I annoyed my brother and asked him about it nonstop. I said. I could be a the most powerful person on earth, I can go rob all the ice cream factories and have all the ice creams to myself and no one can stop me. Why do I need to fight monsters when I can rule the planet myself? My brother saw the chance and d...

Developement on Hidden Story

Fantasy I am planning to base the animation on the wild adventure of John Angus Potter which was hidden away in his diary. Due to the fact that he worked on a ship, it would naturally be based on the sea. So I decided to do some character design. These are some researches I have done on interesting looking life in the ocean that i think have potential to be turned into a animation character. And these were some of the results.
