Few updates, I designed this website for Superfit, at my internship at CHK Design which is a fitness company as well as 406 which is the space it shares, I'm not a huge fan of website design but I'm getting more comfortable with it, check it here.
More importantly (for me, anyway) finally released Avenge Vulture Attack music video for their single 'Renew'.
It's all hand drawn and photographed by myself, it took best part of 4/5 months to produce, really enjoyed doing it. I'm quite smug about it.
See YA!

Avenge Vulture Attack Music Video.
Hello Hello.
Action packed weekened! I'm currently doing a music video for the band Avenge Vulture Attack at the moment, I'm doing a cross between a hand drawn animation and a stop frame animation. This weekend we did the stop frame animation part which was fun to do, but very tiring. Especially as the snow kept challenging us on the Saturday like an annoying little brother (a cold one at that, maybe the type that flicks your ears when they're cold).
(All photos haven't been edited by the way)
Above, the guys are getting their make up and hair done. Over Saturday and Sunday it took between 2- 3 hours each day to get ready, which seems long but considering it's 3 guys and a gal getting their make up, hair and clothes done, seems about right. Especially as we were up really early on both days.
Here are some 'action' shots of the shoot. We had fun with it and that's what it should be about. If we tried to be too serious with it, we would risk coming across as cheesy or trying too hard and ultimately it will backfire on us and we'll be the laughing stock of the whole music world!! (Okay not QUITE that bad, but it wouldn't be nice for either myself or the band to look cheesy!). Overall, a lot of fun in the cold snow and I'm aiming for the hand drawn animation that accompanies this will portray the same tone.
Group shot! (L-R clockwise) Juss - Bass, Ella - Vocals, Jenny - stylist, Lee - Make up, Ben -drums, Drew - Guitar. And myself right in the middle.
All in all a fun weekend but ever so tiring. I took a total of 738 photos, which will be just over a minute's worth of footage. Going to be fun to organize!
That's all for now folks.

Duckeye.
So for the past week I've been at a placement with a moving image company called Duckeye who I've liked the look of ever since I saw this video for Magic and Fur mentioned in Creative Review.
I went down to their studio in Shoreditch, it's situtated in a basement and it's a fairly big layout altogether - it's shared with Jey's (the main man) girlfriend and a few others who I saw a couple of times. Jey is one part of the duo of Duckeye, with his business associate away on maternity leave at the moment, so I didn't get to meet her but instead I got to meet Belinda and Amy who were working on the project with me, both were very nice and easy going.
I was only down for this week as Jey needed a couple of extra hands to help out with a stop frame animation involving jigsaws on planes of glass. This stop frame animation was for Peugeut, a fairly big client so we needed to get everything right. I was Assistant Animator/Runner to the project, which was great as I got some good hands on experience.
I regret not taking any photos in hindsight as it would be easier to explain, but it was quite a tricky process - setting up the shots in particular, who knew glass could be such a pain!
I worked on it Monday - Wednesday (Deadline for Thursday/Friday morn) starting 9.30am finishing around 8pm, long hours but it wasn't a drag, I found it okay, I was just shattered each time I got up in the morning, ironically.
It's a good little ad, with the jigsaws (of the car interior, exterior etc) each creating a frame for the next shot and then the next shot and intertwining quite nicely - concept being you put the pieces together to make up a full package for the car, and YOU (the target audience) just have to put the last piece in to make it complete, which is the fuel. Again, it may be easier to understand through visuals.
Like I said I was more of an assistant animator/runner position, so I took the photos when we did the animation and ran out to get materials etc, which was great because it was more responsibility than I was expecting.
The ad should be on telly in the next few weeks, I'll post it up here when it airs. But in the mean time, I have another placement to look forward to this Monday with 'What is Bobo?'who do film posters for Ealing Film Studios.

Writing.
This was an experimentation I did, using text to convey music (duh!) but yeah, I enjoyed this, took me about 6-7 hours to do, editing included. I'm pleased with the results and shall try out some more similar things in the near future.
