Shell & Paddy: bath-time trouble episode animated roughs

Getting a start on the Shell & Paddy episode of "bath-time trouble" I made two animated roughs to get myself started. And I am glad they work and I have the main character animation. (Any comments would be apriciated) I can get started on doing other roughs or see if possible I can ask others from the BA course here in bournemouth to help, but woth my MA program and I dont exactly know how free are the other students...might as well see.

Benn talking to Joseph Hill last night who is still improving on the backgrounds and will help me develop roughs as well through Drop Box. Good system too.

Here are the videos:

Here we have Paddy being introduced in this shot as he spots Shell and sneaks off scren towards our little hero.

This one is when Shell reacts to Paddy's surprise. The gag here is that as he is having a shower, he covers himself up with a leaf like a towel. Wouldn't you quickly grab the nearest thing and cover yourself up if someone was to surprise you while you were bathing. (It was Joe's Idea)

Project Deep: Making a start on the animating

I asked Derek Hayes for some feedback of the project and grateful enough to get a start on some rough animating

 

This is of the main character, featuring in a black and white, silent cartoon scene.

Some small news of Shell and Paddy

Finally I have got my scanner and it works! Now I can scan my images and put them on the web. Here is some small news for Shell and Paddy. Backgrounds are well under way: (they will feature in this upcoming episode). These were sketched from the story board, coloured and improved upon by Joseph Hill

 



Next is a small update to the animatic/story-board of the episode "bath-time trouble": This change is when after Paddy sees an empty pool and turns his head left, we see the shot where Shell is running away from Paddy, still carrying his wash brush.

And finally, some small doodles I made in a note book. These images would be used for maybe two episodes that I have in mind. I have several idea of what to do and its good to either write them down or draw them.

Another Shell & Paddy cartoon

Still in development...

 

...here is the animatic (No Sound Yet)

 

rought animations of scenes 1 and 2

Negotiation project 2011

Here it is, its still a working progress because its a mix of 2d rough animation and my animatic but thats what makes it goo, because you know whats the timing like and where the action is. I enjoy making this and would actually, given a longer deadline, make a full, clean animation. It was better to start off making the animatic first and then the background layouts, organisation is needed. I normally worked on whole scenes together, i should have started off with working on one scene at a time, i only did that afterwards. I prefer working on the software of toon boom and discovered a few tricks that i can use again for next year.
