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

The Development Book of "The Book of Issac"

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.

Book Development

 For this project, I wanted to create a book showcasing the behind the scenes of this project including character development and even my thought processes behind this each scene. Here are some of the pages I've been working on so far.


Here is my double page spread on logo development, I wasn't able to include all of the logo prototypes I created as I didn't want to clutter the page. So I selected a few and using my graphic design knowledge from my classes in second and third year I got to work. 

Here are my character development pages. Again I had to compromise and leave out some of the
expressions for each character as there was no room to incorporate them without sacrificing layout. I did however include a digital painting of each character, their model sheets, clothing variations and some expressions. I also wrote a brief description on outfit choices and the personality of each character. I wanted each character to be unique in their own way and I think I have achieved this.

More Digital Paintings

I find I am really enjoying painting landscapes throughout this project and watching my work develop more and more. Here are a few more digital paintings. All were created using photoshop.

 

Final Logo Designs

After many trials and errors and lots of feedback from family members and peers, two final logos were designed.Overall I am quite happy with my two final outcomes.

Originally I had planned to use the first logo to represent this project however as time went on I discovered that the shape of the logo made it difficult to incorporate into different products I wanted to have printed for submission. As you can see below.
