Sanlam Gifs

Here are two .gifs I did a while back for Sanlam. These are just rough line work however, as the remainder was painted in house at Am I Collective. Traditional is definitely my preferred medium of animation.

Rough Pyramid Thing

Did this as a test for a casino studio.

Gift Card Millionaire

I recently did a small animation through Mind's Eye Creative called Gift Card Millionaire. Now that it's live I can share some of the pre prod work as well as the animation itself. Fun little story and I always love doing traditional animation.

The Animation itself:

Character Design and stuff:

A run cycle

Also a quick run cycle that you cant see in the main animation. :)

Finally Finished my Animation Clip!

So after quite a bit of animating in between work, being sick, as well as neglecting my sketching/ painting I've finally "finished" animating my little email signature. It's not 100% there (nothing I do ever is) but it's all the time I can afford to put towards it right now as work is getting to be quite a handful. I might come back and revise it a bit later when I have the time. :)

Anyway please see below, I've made it a gif :)

Animated Signature for email

I've been toying lately with the idea of having a gif as an animated signature for my gmail address. So I made up a character and did storyboards yesterday, and today I finished the keys. I'm posting the keys gif so that I can test it on my email address so far.

Been having a lot of fun doing it, and it gives me a chance to do traditional again, which has been a lost love of mine lately.

Something Phishy Reel Updated

Just updated Kelly and my Something Phishy Showreel with a few shots we did recently.

All animation belongs to Popcorn Training.
Music: Overland Blues - The Yoshida Brothers

Lacey & Seymour

Since learning how to use Toon Boom Harmony's Deformation tools, I just had to make a character to really test it with. So here are Lacey and her panda hat Seymour.

I've only managed to have the time to do 3 views so far, and I haven't started rigging just yet. More on that as it develops. :)

A quick test using Toon Boom Harmony

Not my usual style of animation. This is more motion graphics in my opinion, but it was still fun to do none the less. I can't yet mention what this is for, however it is just a rough test and the final product would obviously be more polished. :)

Something Phishy: Part 3

Here is a short reel of some of the animation we've done for Something Phishy :) This doesn't include some of the later work we've done. That's for a later video ;)
