preview

I am working on the story board at the moment, here is a preview using the story board template of my past years

Recent development

I have written a script and made a quick design of the location of where the animation is set. A desert, forest like area. Made up ofcourse and this should help the background layout of where things are.
Includes the nest site, a wide clearing next to a forest, north of it is an expansion of dried up desert and the the west of it is area of small hills and rocks. With the script written I will be able to get on with the story board immediately
Script Spettelt for Shell n Paddy

Shell & Paddy

My final major project will consist of a 2D animation using "toon boom", about two minutes consisting of a slapstick humour involving two characters in a sureal world of strange creatures

The characters are Shell and Paddy, one being a cute but targeted prey while the other is a clumsy scavenger without luck. Shell seeks better protection from predators while Paddy wants is just a snack to fill his empty stomach.

Big Momma, a protective and highly agressive mother, this proves what female t-rex was capable of doing onto others.

The idea

They are just drawings, they will be properly scanned back at the uni, the bottom image is the main idea from my "negotiation project" it shall be a comedy, goofy, slapstick world of strange animals, based on inspiration from old cartoons, monster books and my imagination.

Duckman and Insect-ball ar the main characters, one always tries to eat the other, fails while the other always gets away. Involves angry mother, cute baby, bully predator, an elephant thing that gets pummeled, bugs, evil bunny thing and some kind of burp beast.

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.
