Horace Environments

2010-09-21T20:57:00.002+09:30

Here's some preproduction stuff I did a few months ago for Boombada animation studio, for their ABC series Horace in Slow Motion, starring a big fat pig. The directive was to make a very Australian, 70's style house. So lots of gaudy colours and textures :) It just showed on the ABC recently!

Here are some of the environment designs.

And some props comin' atcha!!

I thought i'd show a few environment and visual development artworks created as part of various short film pitches some friends and I have put together over the past year or so.

A story about a girl and a wombat...intriguing, no?!
(marvelous character design by Ari Gibson)
This is for a short set during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival.
This was done for a short animation that hopefully we can tidy up and post online soon!

Eurosketch

Some doodles doodled in various places around Europe in June last year.

The inset layout sketch was done on a train to Berlin. It's for a story about a girl living with her father in a teeny apartment. They once lived in a huge house in the country. They can't bear to part with any of their stuff.

And something completely different.

Here are some Christmas sketches. Everyone's sleepy after Christmas lunch, even dogs...

More proper stuff soon perhaps!

The Cat Piano - A Retrospective...

2009-12-21T21:10:00.001+10:30

So I thought that if I don't have anything new to post, i might as well show some old stuff.

The Cat Piano was wrapped up in January this year and has since gone on to very politely, and in good spirits, crush all whom stand in its way. It was in official competition at Annecy (I went to France!), won the award for best animated short at the Sydney and Melbourne film festivals, was recently short listed for an Oscar nomination (fingers crossed) and to top it all off, just took home an AFI.

The film was directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson. I had an art direction role, my tasks included painting the backgrounds, working out a lot of environmental and special effects, talking to Ari (who doubled as lead animator) and the compositors in figuring out which plates needed to be supplied, as well as a share of compositing work when it all got crunchy. It was a crazy project with many twists and turns but totally rewarding to work with so many great artists.

There's a Cat Piano site, and the whole film is online!
