Winter Showreel 2014...

Pre Christmas holidays we were asked to create a showreel of all the work we have done so far toward out Final Major Projects in our third year of University.

Now I have predominantly worked as a Producer and a script writer - with some concept art and texturing thrown in here and there!

So I took this challenge quite literally...

I made a rather exciting showreel of my many pages of production schedules, scripts, shot lists, background lists, weekly breakdowns... You get the jist!

So enjoy...

The Long Way Down - Animatic

As well producing in my third year, I've also been taking on roles within the projects as well as others.

Carl - the director of The Long Way Down - created the first draft of the animatic & asked me if I would add some sounds effects...  I'd found many a sound clip previously to use for the animatic & now it was time to put them to use! Which would also help when pitching for sound designers! (Something we require & are rather interested in for all you sound designers who may be reading this!)

So my first attempt at sound on the Long Way Down animatic - one thing I definitely need to do is think out of the box when trying to find the sound effects! Things that create the sounds required may not initially be the things you'd think!

Bottle - Layouts

Examples of background layouts for Bottle - each element is on a separate layer so it is able to be moved around in the scene. Especially if it is an element to be interacted with.

Some of the shots are not regular 1080/920 format due to the changing screen size in bottle & also to be able to move the frame around the layout if required.

The Director will later make animation notes on this, sketching key positions & details within the frame to aid animators in understanding what is required.

The Reel - Shark Character Design

Some basic character designs I had done previously for the project The Reel for one of their scenes which has now been cut, but I'll be doing further design work on other scenes.

Inspiration & reference for the designs on my Pinterest!

Personal Design Work...

I recently did some design work for local personal training company Defined Fitness - creating designs according their brief & clientele. In addition to creating the logo I've also created shaker & t-shirt designs (which have been made) as well as business cards.
