ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO

I MENTIONED THE ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO I'M WORKING ON WITH MY FRIEND SCOTT LOCKHART IN A PREVIOUS POST (FOR MANCHESTER BAND FRAZER KING'S SINGLE 'MOTHER MARY').WE CAME UP WITH THE STORY TOGETHER, I DESIGNED CHARACTERS/BACKGROUNDS ETC AND AM ILLUSTRATING THE ASSETS WHILE SCOTT IS ANIMATING IT ALL. THIS PET PROJECT GOT PUT ON THE BACK BURNER FOR A WHILE UNFORTUNATELY - SCOTT IS IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP AN ANIMATION COMPANY WITH OUR MUTUAL FRIEND SAM AND I WANTED TO FOCUS ON EXHIBITIONS ETC - BUT WE'RE BACK ON IT NOW AND ON TRACK TO FINISH BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER! HERE ARE SOME FINAL, HAND DRAWN  ASSETS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON TODAY:

MUSIC VIDEO SNEAK PEEK II

HERE ARE A FEW SNATCHES OF THE HAND PAINTED ASSETS I'VE CREATED FOR THE ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO I'M WORKING ON FOR FRAZER KING (TO BE ANIMATED BY SCOTT LOCKHART):

THE TWO IMAGES ABOVE SHOW SEPERATE LAYERS WHICH WILL BE MERGED TOGETHER.

1a

1b

AND THESE SHOW THE 2 SEPERATE LAYERS COMPRISING ONE SHOT (1a) FOLLOWED B THE SAME SHOT WITH LAYERS MERGED TOGETHER.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME CREATING ASSETS FOR ANIMATION, AND THE STYLE WE'VE CHOSEN TO WORK IN MEANS EACH LAYER TAKES A BIT OF TIME, BUT I'M REALLY ENJOING IT! I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED DESIGNING THE MAIN CHARACTER:

SCOTT HAS ALL OF THE ASSETS FROM ME FOR OUR OLD LADY CHARACTER NOW, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER IN ACTION!

MORE UPDATES AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES...
