Mitch's Animation Anxiety Attacks

Jeez I haven't been on here in ages. I should upload my next project here :)

Anyways I just thought I'd wish all the 2010 2nd years good luck :)

ALSO I MADE YOU ALL A PICTURE!

Gather 'round children! Let me tell you a tale about a teenager fresh out of highschool. (well, he left highschool early to chase his dream of art and cartoons)... STILL, He was convinced that no matter how good you were at drawing or how good you were at writing stories, everyone out there has amazing potential hidden within their imagination. So he spent a few weeks interviewing many people, Friends and Family alike, and asked them about their (dream) alternative personas.
Some answered straight away, and went on about fantastic super heroes, each with imaginative powers, each with their own dash of unique flavour to them. Others he interviewed, took longer to answer, or were too serious to answer, but eventually came up with amazing stories. The longer they talked about it, the more enthusiastic they seemed towards his question. Fantasies were re-opened from their childhoods, and as the teenage boy was writing all this down in his book he realised a unique and priceless treasure was forming together.

He spent weeks looking over everyones dreams, something so surreal and inspiring, and eventually saw a circle of purpose behind these notes. They had collectively created an ecosystem of magic. So he started to write a story, inspired by this collection of dreams.


4 years later and I'm still slaving away over this idea... lol :(
But the more I think about it, the deeper the story becomes, so I'm determined to stick with it.

I'm putting together some character design concepts, and I'll keep everyone updated on my Blog.

I'd really like some feed back on my robin hood animation here before I continue on only to find that I've got to go back and delete like 50 frames :P Also I'd like to point out for SOME annoying reason the sound seems SLIGHTLY out of sync... this is not the case, I don't know what vimeo did to my file.

aaand this is a nice collection of my work so far

Well I haven't posted much recently. Thats all my bad really, I've been rather swamped with ALOT of greencross work and little time for the more interesting things in life like my end of year assignment. It's coming along nicely and I've almost finished the animatic. For now you'll just have to enjoy an image I put together of my chosen character design for the animation.

peace out Animators!

So everyones gone home for the day at Southbank, so I thought I'd kick back my feet and do some old fasion drawing... WITH A TWIST! A twist you might ask? YES INDEED my friend, for this was all drawn with a mouse in Flash
