Here is the revised layout. The only big difference is the perspective on the shelf to the left. I also added a layer in the foreground because I felt the area below the toilet was empty.

In our 3rd year of animation we get to learn stop motion animation. The video above is the first test we did in class. We needed to have the cars nearly collide on frame 13 and then crash on frame 35. We also needed to have one car do two loops while the other car did one loop. It was actually really hard to do. =(
I had this idea about a garbage man finding something magical in his garbage dump. This film would be incredibly hard to make because the layouts would be too hard to draw. I found that most of the time spent was drawing and colouring the small pieces of garbage in the dump piles. Maybe it be a film I'd like to make after school. =)I took this animation course over the summer that teaches us how to sync animation to music. The music I chose to sync my animation to comes from the intro of Pixar's Monsters Inc. I didn't have time to finish the project but here's what I got. I don't think I'll ever finish it because I've just gotten too frustrated with this piece. =(
If you didn't understand the animation...I don't blame you lol
It starts off with a magician pulling random stuff out of his hat. He eventually finds out there is a slimey monster in his magical hat. When the monster comes out of the hat, the magician uses the bouncing balls to hit the monster. Having little effect on the monster, the magician decides to use his wand to turn the monster into a rabbit.I don't know how I came up with such a silly scenario..it just kinda developed while I was animating.
The first half is near complete. The second half still needs a lot more inbetweens. The monster still needed to be animated. The slime the magician was looking at still needed to be animated.
Here is one idea I have for my 4th year film. Its about this really old guy who wants to get to the moon. I'm not going to say much about it...but I will post a drawing every now and then. =)Final animation project for 2nd year. We had to sync dialogue to a character with a beak. I got this dialogue from a sketch in SNL.
I had to cut to the face for the last bit cause of deadline issues. If I were to do full body animation for the entire sequence, I would DIE.
I'm not sure I can do this for a living. Its toooooo hard.
This project took an ENTIRE WEEK!!! man...
now all I got to do is the animation and the television storyboards.






One thing I've learned this year is that you got to keep practicing lifedrawing.....even though you feel like your getting worse. Its rewarding to see a slight improvement over the drawings I did in the beginning of the year. THEN AGAIN.....I've just noticed that most of these drawings are drawings of the models back. WHICH MEANS.....the ones I did of the front didn't make the cut. I still got to keep practicing.


Our final layout project for 2nd year animation. Sad =( Line taken from an old movie called "Little Monsters". Enjoyed working on the project. My fellow classmates thought I'd would crumble under the pressure of doing a 15 second animation.
DONE!
192 frames.....but I'm almost positive it could have been done in less.

Our assignment was to create 4 characters in a specific time period. I chose the medieval time period. We had to create a hero, a heroine, a villain, and a comic relief character.
