So this is by the guy I saw yesterday.
I can’t believe I might get to work with this genius if I play my cards right you have no idea how excited I am about that aaaaaaa.
Okay, well to explain the linetest business I’ll chuck up a better example of one; a linetest is a rough pass of the animation. This is done on paper and shot under a camera, ye olde style, but these days there are programs to help you organize the frames instead of having to wait for the film to be developed- which you had to do before the digital era. Some days I am grateful for having a computer to punch me in the face.
Anyway, at this stage you just have the rough layout if any background, and usually you don’t have sound either unless you’re doing lip sync, as with this example. If you can see the little boxes and lines in the right hand corner, those are notes the animator makes to explain where inbetweens and breakdowns have to go- but that’s another story.
As for the what the heck is that thing questions- you’re going to find out.
Relatively soon.
Decided to animate RGB booking it around a corner
because you know
like I don’t spoiler you guys enough already.
This piece of motion graphics takes us through the many variations of a sphere. It’s a very simple setting, just about as simple as you can get which then evolves into all these different scenarios and interesting manipulations of this particular form. If it were to tie in with any of my three chosen words (Nostalgia, Descent, Flow) it would be flow because of how fluidly each variation of the sphere shifts from one to another.
I’ve already thought up the content of my animation, but it’s more the style I’m interested in when it comes to any research material I come across at this point because I’m not sure how exactly I want it to look yet. Even the medium I use is still subject to change.

I just remembered I did this little animation of Oswald and Mickey as an April Fools while I was at VFS.
Hahahaha yeah wat.
I love watching this documentary because it’s incredibly inspiring and educational. And my heroes worked on it!
Watch it before Vimeo finds this and takes it down.I remember watching this on the DVD, this is very cool!
Oh my god this is quality. Yes.
