sketches from 'Et perfekt produkt'(work title)

2011-11-07T15:15:00.000-08:00

I have just been working on these sketches and needed to share them. They are for a short film(if i get that far), that i am working on, on the side of our school work. These sketches will eventually become backgrounds, and as i planned for around 20 of them, i decided to do them at a rather small scale. I am trying different work-flows, tonight i tried to make black and white acrylic underpaintings to guide me when i am going to put on the colors in oil.

Non dialogue acting with roger from 101 dalmatiens:

Brief reflection
I like my improvement, but i believe the outcome could have been much more finished if i kept re-organizing my drawings along with major changes in timing. In the beginning i did well planning and organizing wise, but after a few days i tried to skip steps again to speed up the process, gahh.

If i manage i'll finish the assignments during holiday.
I started painting again, which i'll hopefully get to post at karstenhoop.com.

1. semester exam

2011-02-06T05:34:00.000-08:00

We got a 3 days test.
Make Danny(cats don't dance) jump over a hole.

However annoying the character looks, he was great fun push around. As a jump is a quite broad action i choosed to make it "gerade aus"! A few thumbnails positioning him in the given layout, and go.

The result was quite a fluent movement, but the character also shrinks and doesn't follow the perspective of the layout. Bummer.

Workflow (how it was):
Thumbnailing
Straight ahead
enhancing keys, breakdowns and inbetweens(Fail)

Workflow (how it should have been):
Thumbnails(fairly posed character)
Straight ahead
enhancing keys and breakdowns
Planning timing and spacing with help from the straight ahead
eat inbetweens
draw new clear inbetweens

Animation Intro project

2010-09-12T02:19:00.001-07:00

As an introduction to the animation workshop, which i am now attending to. We where put into groups of four and had to make an 30 sek clip.The requirements: Atleast 1 thing has to move, atlaest 1 picture from reality, it has to be inspired from a given soundclip.

We where given a soundclip concerning a young girl going to prison on lifetime and losing her mother with almost not being capable of getting to visit her. We recut the clip, so it changed the story quite alot.

Long studies 1 at the drawing school

2010-02-08T08:19:00.000-08:00

A quick list of long studies i've been doing so far at the Drawing academy spring 2010.

The only thing i want to comment is that i'm really not that sharp with portraits, and i have recieved quite some help from our teacher for the one above.
