(79) Rocket Boy Update

Here's a second version of my Rocketboy idea. I spent a bit more time on this, this time.
The first Rocketboy script I wrote is here.

I've enlisted the help of a character designer, Chris Boyd ( [link] ) who was very interested and very helpful.

He seems quite enthusiastic about my little project, and was generous enough to whip up a concept for his take on Rocketboy.

At the Jalloo ( http://jalloo.net/ ) animation festival, here in Miramichi, last week, we had a nice woman come in to talk to us from Teletoon.

She discussed their pitching guidelines and criteria, and I'm seriously considering submitting a Rocketboy pitch.
The odds of it getting picked aren't super, but, it's worth a shot.

We'll see how it goes.

-Update-
Just letting it be known, I've submitted a Rocket Boy pitch sheet to Teletoon.

(78) 25 Expressions of Travis

A little side project for one of our classes was to create a little character to go with this expression sheet.

I should've had a character in mind, or at least thought of a definitive look, but I ended up doing a...garbled..version of myself.
Did them up rather quickly with a blue pencil, then worked 'em over with a black pen to make 'em pop.

(77) Subway Warp Pan

For our final Staging project, we had to create a warped pan.
So I did.

I coloured it up with a blue animation pencil, then tweaked it in photoshop CS5.

Click it for a big version!

That's all for now.

(76) Double Whammy. A layout and an audio clip!

Here's a layout set in an idol room in ancient Japan.



This is a voice-over project I helped some friends out with. I wrote the script, play the voice of the announcer, and also made the music.
My friend Brad Lamey did the Shaun of The Dead drawing, and also contributed his voice, as did my other pal, John Landry.

Enjoy, that is all for now.
