Treesleepers video

A couple of weeks back i helped shoot a music video for a local band The Treesleepers , Dir. Maeve Hickey. Was a nice well planned shoot if i do say so ( i didn't plan it), and we managed to get a nice day for it too. If i had had the time i think i would have liked to edit the piece myself as there were some seriously nice shots in there, but alas time is money and i'm mercenary when it comes to cash soooo left in the hands of the other.

The editing was finished there recently so we are now privy to the finished product Enjoy




And here are some stills from the day.

payments

Songs to sing when  hunting down money.

"Should i give up, or should i just keep chasing payments, even if it leads nowheeeeeeeerrrre!"

Sexier?!

Something for the weekend!

i better give some context...More then often you get a client who insists  on using the word sexy to describe the the job they want you to do, which is always weird in animation terms.
...."we want it to be sexy and wild and different" I understand what there asking for but i wish they wouldn't phrase like the info on a x-rated video.

......I think we may end up going a bit far

Experiments in Line Quality

Here are some sketchs, testing out line weight and varying pen types... more of a mess about see what looks nicest vs what looks finished as well as a colour vs raw idea. Also if you like the characters of "Don't Starve"  i'm basing these sketchs around that look...just not quiteas scribbly.


First up a self portrait of sorts.....i do this more often then i'd like to admit, but at €2.50 a t-shirt in Pennies how can i afford not to!

Gangsters Paradise is like a shirt ripping cryptonite 

Next up a viking, note the addition of line weight in pic 2......if your into that

Lastly a look through process from scanned sketch to finish render

Love rough pencil...

increased line wight and shading...

final render...tho as you can see sometimes colour can just be gaudy

On a personal, yet still work related, note I saw this band a week or so ago and they were awesome! There called PHOX and there from Wisconsin, i'd love to use their music in something, but it have to be just the right piece. Enjoy.
