Javelin Throw rough animation

Here is a rough animation test for an 2012 Olympic challenge: JAVELIN THROWING

Please ensure that you avoid throwing the javelin at anyone within range/target or audience...also avoid throwing it at your feet....its REALLY painful.

Animated Sheep Shearing

Hey all. I am back In switzerland right now. Just travelled last Thursday, wondering why everytime I do fly back that there is always some kind of stupid delay, and will be relaxing and enjoying good weather and see If i can make a few animations (hopefully not too distracted) before flying off to Bournemouth for my masters in October.

Here is a animation I made for a competition promoted by Aardman on a site; http://www.letnaturefeedyoursenses.org/letnature/shaun/animateit.eb
Which is all about the country side in the United Kingdom.

Enjoy as a sheep gets sheared on his backside by a pig. The main thing was to select the sounds that were uploaded onto the site, download them and experiement with them. Dont know the result but I enjoyed animating this.

I will see if I can do some more Shell & Paddy material but I have a few small projects that I have volonteered myself up with.

I am trying to do one thing at a time so I wont get too stressed even dueing the holidays.

Character Design; BOOGLES

Design for the Character Boogles of boogles ltd. the walking calculator that helps children with their maths

At the moment, one is not sure if this idea of Boogles will be produced as trying to get an idea into the heads of TV companies is very hard. One does wonder how do they get new ideas? I hope this does get or will have the intention of being financed to be produced so that I may myself have a confirmed animation job for the future. Lets hope

My Trip to Annecy 2012

Sorry if this post is kind of late. I am starting to get a bit lazy when posting things. That I need to change. Anyway, I spent a week in Annecy from the 4th of June to the 9th of June for the annual Film and Animation Festival at Annecy.

check out their theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Woz844BxrY

Annecy is in France, its not that big once you get use to biking all over the place. Saw a handful of animations, shorts, feature films, Japanese and French animations.
