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.

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...

4th Year Project

For my final year's film I have decided to make a film based on China's culture. To prepare for this I went and visited the oldest city in the whole of China, the Phoenix Old Town in Hunan. While I was there I watched a play call 邊城, it was a musical play that depicts the life of two lovers in the Phoenix Old Town. It shows the struggle of what the lovers wanted and the conflict of responsibility. When I was watching the play the character's design (clothing), enviornment and atmosphere very much inspired me, so I decided to create a version of own with reference to the play.
