Hii Whats With Your Film Project?

Hii whats with your film project?

I’ve been animating hair onto a fish for days now

Alleyway Spook (which is also a cat)

“BLOSH”

More bits and pieces from a cancelled music video. First lot of bits here

These particular bits all reference 18th century portraits, so this doubles as a bad trivia game for any bored art history majors out there.

Just a reminder that THIS is tomorrow! There'll also be a Q&A session, and if you're on your best behaviour I might show you all a clip from my upcoming film!

Do you like ME? Do you like WORDS?? Well come on down to the Sydney Opera House on the 5th of November to hear me say a bunch of them, for FREE! I’ll be in conversation with overshadowingly talented special guests ALEX GRIGG and GREG SHARP, and we’ll talk about animations and making them and maybe our feelings

i want to animate. ijust ordered a light box. i have no idea what im doing. thoughts?

Good. If you learn animation in an academic context, it's often taught with a lot of arbitrary dos and don'ts that are a hangover from old industry methods. More concerned with teaching formulas than helping you cultivate a genuine understanding.Familiarising yourself with the medium and experimenting with it before anyone else has influenced the way you approach it, will harbour an uninhibited relationship with what you're doing, and you'll develop working methods that are informed by your current creative processes.Missing out that step is like giving an anatomy book to a child that's never drawn before. That would be a weird. Just give the kid some art supplies and let them figure themselves out, then when they're older they'll know if an anatomy book is right for them, or if they work with a completely different set of values and processes.So get that light box and don't worry about the 'right' way to do things. just Play around with it, see what happens, and if you like the way something looks then roll with it. Good luck!
