Submission!

Today's the big day. In a matter of hours I will be leaving this goody bag off to my college and grabbing the nearest strongest coffee I can find.






This little bundle includes

  • Keyrings
  • Sticker sheet
  • Development Book
  • Canvas Poster
  • Wooden Box containing USB
  • Tote Bag
All items were hand made at home except for the Tote bag and Book.






I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me through my years at the University of Ulster Magee, especially my lecturers for pushing me and for being so supportive. You guys rock. 

Promotional material

Keyrings

Stickers

Canvas Poster

Tote Bag
Some promotional material I created to put together with my submission. I'm also hoping to get a box that I can fill full of sawdust and maybe some gold pebbles. (Great Advice from Mark!) Might even have to get painting haha. I also plan to have a book printed and ready for submission aswell. Fingers crossed.

"The Book of Issac" The trailer

Final Animated Trailer 


Unfortunately there are quite a few scenes I had story boarded that I could not animate due to time constraints. I found it difficult managing the workflow with other commitments I had. This gave me the opportunity though to try and make the best trailer possible with what I had created. I decided to play around with text to help explain the story more. I plan to revisit this project in the future. I hope you like this trailer regardless!

More Animation Tests



Forgot to upload the older one ages ago. I find it alot easier to see mistakes after exporting from Premiere Pro.



Test 1



First export from Premiere Pro. Still hoping to add a few scenes extra and going to fix mistakes that only became obvious after exporting. I am also thinking of incorporating a few worded scenes that is typical in trailers. i think this will help explain the trailer a little more clearly.

Also working on a little painting of the chinampas. I wanted to have a scene where we could have a close up of Eleuia and Issac sailing past the Chinampas but unfortunately I ran out've time. Its something I can add in the future though.

A scene I couldn't finish in time for Submission


Final Book


Animation in progress

I find it hard sometimes to get movement correct in animation. I find recording myself and then using rotoscope a really effective way of solving this issue. Please excuse my appearance here, I was working to hard to worry about looking pretty haha.
