Jumping Sack Animation

Below is a hand drawn animation I did of a Jumping Sack, required for my Classical Animation course. The cross hair and frame is simply for drawing purposes and normally would be toggled off. Also, the darkness in the frame is just an affect of having three layers of animation.

Marvin the Martian in Adobe Flash

It was my first time using Adobe Flash Professional and I  decided to recreate one of my favourite Looney Tunes characters, Marvin the Martian.

No Vacancy

This is a photograph of a small sculpture I made for my art history course in the post modern style. It's made out of clay and was hand painted to represent Mars. It's titled No Vacancy and includes a sign stating just that. I intended it to be a statement about the ecological heath of planet Earth, and the risk our behaviour as humans pose to the biosphere of not only our earth, but that of future planets as well.

After Effects Kinetic Typography

I'm excited to make my first post with a project I've worked on while at VFS. The following video was made in Adobe After Effects CS5. The monologue is from the 2012 summer blockbuster, The Amazing Spider-Man and is one of my favourite monologues of recent memory. The original scene is of Peter Parker listening to a voicemail left by his recently murdered Uncle, Uncle Ben. I found it really quite powerful wanted to experiment with kinetic typography so I thought this was the perfect opportunity. The voiceover was recorded by my father, Bill Jones and the score is from The Amazing Spider-Man soundtrack, written by James Horner.  This song is property of Sony Music.

A Little Something About My Work

Being in the Foundation Program at VFS, I've been able to take a wide variety of Film, Design and Animation courses. We be come well versed in a plethora of industry software programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, InDesign, After Effects and Autodesk Maya. We also take courses like Life Drawing, 2D Design and Perspective, Writing, Classical Animation, Storyboarding and Art History (just to name a few).  As one would expect, I'm completing a lot of projects and I'd love to share some of them. I'll be posting both finished projects as well as works "in progress".  Please feel free to comment and let me know you what you think, I'd love to get feedback.
