E4 Shrinkage - Competition entry

This is my wee 3D animation entry for the e4 esting competition...

New Fangled_test_intro

My company Smudge Digital took part in an exhibition New Fangled, we had three days to create something for the exhibition. During this time we took some footage and edited it together. We planned to take there logo and comp it into the exhibition space, but due to our lack of time and technical difficulties this is what we have achieved. We plan to work on it a bit more to make it look more realistic.

Kitchen

 This is project Smudge Digital started working on, hoping to do some
pre-vision work soon, though we'd get the ball rolling and start a
kitchen to show off our skills.
This is very early stages of the modelling.

Ani jam festival

Myself and three other animators took part in Ani jam 48hour animation festival in Bistrol this year. 

The theme of the festival was Jam, this is images from the animation we created. 


The story follows Captain Strawberry who is out at sea trying to find and save his men, who have fallen overboard, his attempts are in vain as a massive wave sweeps him overboard as well, one by one they start to drown, the water starts to turn red, a snow storm of sugar hits the water, before the steam takes over the screen. The camera pulls back to see that the strawberries were actual in a pot for making jam....The END!!!!

 

Graphic design

This a graphic design I created using Photoshop and photographs i took of dancers for the company dance vibes. They where looking for something fun and inspiring to promote there dance company.

Virtual Enviroment Abandoned Ayslum

This is my virtual environment i created for my Final project in University. The project was losely based on Canehill Asylum. I wanted to create something with a realistic and moody atmosphere. I used Autodesk Maya and Adobe Photoshop to create all the textures and models for this virtual environment.

Hippo animation

During university I experimented with Rigging and Animating a basic character i modelled. This is my first attempt at animating and rigging using Maya.

Special effects project

My first attempt at exploding someone. The short film i created was based on the film "the borrowers". I made my actor very small and composited her into a kitchen then made her explode at the end. The ending was my favourite part.

Asylum

This is the my final Render of my Virtual Environment i created on Maya.

Special Effects Virtual into real - key board

For my special effects class i have to composite a virtual object into the real world. I choose to composite the keyboard into the computer room. I then layered the bottle on top to make the keyboard less noticeable.  This is my 1st atempt at compositing ever, im fairly happy with the images considering my experience and timeline.

Graphic design For dance Vibez

This a few final Graphics i produced for the Company Dance vibez. All images are based on photographs i took of the companies dancers. I created a variety of designs as the company were not sure of what they where looking for exactly, just something fun and creative.

Special effects project

first attempt at using special effects, the ending is the best apart :) I really enjoyed using the green screen and compositing the footage together using after effects.

Compositing a Real life object in Virtual

I composited the wooden figured into a virtual environment of an art studio. I found it more difficult to match the lighting in these images compared to my Virtual into real images.

Compositing - Experimenting with an apple

I composited this Virtual apple I created in Maya, into a real kitchen, using the tools in Maya and Photoshop. 

Saw advert

Saw Advert Love.com - short version from Lauren kerr on Vimeo.

Was looking out my film videos from university. In my tv & film production class i was asked to make an advert that made homage to another film or style. I choose Saw, and advertised a dating agency, to give a dark and comical twist.

Project progress - textures

I have started texturing my virtual environment of an Asylum. All of the textures I created in Photoshop. I like this stage of the project as I feel it is starting to look more and more realistic. I want the Asylum to have a very dirty and abandoned atmosphere, so the textures have been build up to look like dirty and rust.

Update of Art project work

This is an update of my digital art so far. I am creating digital art work for the Company Dance Vibez as one of my University projects. The Company is looking for something fun and unique. All the pieces have been created in Photoshop using various different techniques. Still undecided as to what style I am going in, I have been following various Tutorials to come up with new ideas.

Promotional Art progress

This is the beginning stages of my Digital art work for the company Dance Vibez. Unsure of what direction i am going to be going in as the company wants something fun and unique, so I have a wide variety of styles to choose from. 

Caricature

This is one of the caricature's I have drawn on commission.
