background art flat colours and layers

 a Mayan civilisation once thriving now lost. rediscovered through the exit of a cave
this illustration was created with no lines i used layers and different colours to create a sense of depth. i also added a paper texture on top reducing the opacity to 80% and the flow to 30%

my 2nd year film is here and ready for people to view, bear in mind i'm not the most confident animator in the world i really struggle to animate where it comes naturally to others. and i have been mocked for it. but i don't care. for me this is the ultimate learning curve i have learned so much from my struggles and I am so proud of the efforts i have put in, i know now that my third year film will indefinably be better than this, because i can see how far i have come since first year, and i'm aware of how far i have to go.

updated showreel

UPDATED SHOWREEL from Scott Davies on Vimeo.

animation progress so far.

final major project progress so far from Scott Davies on Vimeo.

there will be a few changes but this is what i have so far and im so proud of what i have achieved. even though i know i have a long way to go just to let you know i havnt recorded the dialoque yet but the bald guy tells the seated guy hes in his seat, upon ignoring this the bald cowboy pulls a gun and repeats that the guy is in his seat. the seated cowboy kicks him out of the bar and they fight, in the secions where there is construction. the red character is the bad guy, the green character is the good guy,.. enjoy

end of first year glammies sting

this was done for a sting at the end of the first year in uni, i didnt upload it before because i thought it could have been better but looking at it now i love it, it was a collaberative effort with me and 4 others. it was based around the olympics and 2012 as a year and the avengers came out that year

minor project

im posting this up now because im disapointed in the lack of animation on my blog about my animations,  i dont post to much of my stuff because im quite embarresed by it and its not up to the standards the course expects. this piece was for  a project where we had to design and  animate a character  to a  piece of dialoque. it started of good but then due to an error in filming and trying to redeem it by chopping it up in premier it went downhill fast. but here ya go better later than never

settings for my fight

these are the backgrounds ill be using for my animation originaly i wanted them to be digital but i felt that the water colour look would give it that cowboy western feel and would add an unnatural grain that i couldnt achieve digitally. i hope you enjoy these and i hope they turn out as imagines in the animation.

establishing shot to show where the animation is set

character performance

this is my character performance project for 2nd year. its quite upsetting because this started off synced then something messed up i couldnt figure out what, tried to redeem it in premier. realized i couldnt, panicked and submitted it just to get it in there, either way i like this piece shame it messes up half way but i believe i learned more from my mistakes than my sucsesful projects

charactet exploration

character exploration project, this was an oppertuninty for me to animate and record dialoque for my own character. this was a project that pushed every one of my abilities within animation, i dont believe the outcome is a succsesul as it should be but I do believe my skills as an animator have clearly developed
