Moving Spheres

New Stop Motion Animation!

Moving Spheres is my latest stop-motion short that plays around moving plasticine through the light from below technique shown in the previous Stop Motion post. Here

The production time took longer than it looks, each frame was created around 30-40 minutes.

All animation excluding the credits was done with Stop-Motion. Colors and filter effects was added in post production through After Effects.

Music was mixed by me as well.

It's pretty short and random, lots of colors were added to give the audience a little hippy and LSD feel. Enjoy!

W.A.R Graphic and Iconography Design

W.A.R (working title) is my graduation animation film I am working currently on.

Other than character and technical designs, there are also some iconography such as logos, badges, crests and painted nose art on planes and tanks.

Chinese Myth Quick Sketches

I am always very fond of the Chinese mythology.

So I tend to draw lots of related stuffs.

Here's some quick drawings I drew while working on my FYP project. :)

Nezha, well known deity in the Chinese Myth

Thunder God. Just like Thor, he carries a Hammer too.

Bull Demon King, one of the Antagonist in Journey to the West.

Zhu Bajie, one of the four main characters in Journey to the West.

Chancellor Tortoise, subordinate of the East Dragon King.

Ao Guang, Dragon King of the East Sea

Li Jing, father of Nezha and also known as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li

Horn Deity,  Original Character from a drama series.

W.A.R Technical Designs

W.A.R (working title) is my graduation animation film I am working currently on.

The Design Process is over so I shall share some of the concept designs I did.

As you can see in the previous post as well, the film is about war. So lots of weaponry and technical stuffs.

Most of the designs are sketched on paper, some drawn digitally while some are built on 3D then paint over for convenience sake.

Twenty Twelve

Happy 2012 everyone.

Really looking forward to this brand new year.

I'm going to graduate from Univ this year(finally!).

What happens after that is still unknown to me for now.

Hopefully I can find a suitable job. :)

Nevertheless, I'll still be working on my own projects and animations.

Watch this space!
