Sand Animation!

Sand Animation from my first year at the NFTS- Taught by Caroline Leaf.

The 'Story' is based from my childhood, when I would have a plastic skellington (insted of Barbie), there was a stream in the next village me and my brother would paddle in. We would dangle our plastic skellingtons (Bonies) in the water, pretending they were fishing for us :D

Character of Place

Ok, so I've finally gotten around to uploading some of my NFTS First year projects. 

This is my Character of Place project, and one of the most fun to make!
We worked with the Cinematographers and Production Designers to create a short Pixilation/ Stopmotion animated film.

We had 5 Days to plan what we were going to film, Build and light the set, Animate the film, strike the set, and edit (O_O)

Mad... but SO much fun!!!! 

Naturally with it being Pixilation... I went the easy horror route :P ... also in props stores there were loads of hospital stuff for us to scavenge... and the NFTS also has an awesome SFX Department.

Before NFTS

Before I started at the NFTS I did a BA in animation at the University for the Creative arts (Previously known as The Surrey Institute of Art and Design) in Farnham. Here's the first film I made there. Actually its the first film I've ever made. Its hand drawn, the coloured on Adobe Photoshop, and put together on Premiere (Before I really knew how to use either programme) I think this film says a lot about me and what I like- Dark but Daft. I apologise for the bad quality- especially the voices. The whole thing was pretty much made in my bedroom.
