My recent and best work (of course until now ) !!!

The story is about a hopeless artist who’s not so sure if he takes ecstasy tablets or not. I used tablet to paint the frames and the rest.

At first an explanation about the name:

I made this animation for my first directing credit but it was unfinished, last finally I gained time to finish it, beside I tried to improve it’s quality.

Roll up, Roll up, come see my latest animation ‘Sensations of the Season’. Featuring Unzi and his fantastical freak show.

A truly freaky short film I animated to music by Onethirtyeight.

Please click on the film and leave a rating and comment x

The 2009 Coney Island Film Festival will feature my latest animation ‘Sensations of the Season’.

This is really exciting as the theme of this animation is based around a freak show … so to be shown at Coney Island (which is the last place in the USA where you can experience the thrill of a traditional ten-in-one circus sideshow) makes it a real hoot.

If you don’t already know .. ‘Sensations of the Season’ is an animated accompliment I made for the bizarre music of Onethirtyeight.

We are featured on there press release HERE.

Please all come along and see ‘Sensations of the Season’ at it’s second public showing in the world!

As you can see there is a new heading for this blog featuring two new characters. They are called Witch and Witchy and feature in my future animation series ‘Creepy Treats’.

Here is another of Witchy…

My short 3D animation for Imaging & animation class XD

This is a group project.

We need to develop a concept based on the theme we understand about MTV Asia and create a station ID for them.

Our final concept is ” MTV lives everything up”

Well these are the screenshots of the final ident and the movie itself:”> Me and my friend Nguyen did this video in 1 day so please don’t get mad with the stupid stuff and animation. Be positive about the concept please  ) And I think the music is a plus :”> us made good choice lol.

The video is actually very short, only 20s, so … enjoy ~

My second animation ‘Danny Silk : Intergalactic Exterminator‘ has been nominated for Best Local Film – as part of the Portsmouth News’s Guide Awards thingy. 

I entered my animation in to something called Shorts Cut.. showcasing local short film makers work at the Kings Theatre Southsea. It was excepted and shown at the beginning of this month - I was very pleased to see one of my films being shown on a big screen publicly for the first time. Little did I imagine that it would then get nominated for best local film and be shown again as part of the Portsmouth film festival. 

It’s lovely when your work gets some recognition .. and I’m excited at seeing my film at a public viewing again. 

Find out more at Portsmouth Screen or vote HERE.

Our last assignment for the class electronic imaging and design this semester is to create a title sequence flash for a royalty free movie.

I chosed “Un chien Andalou”, a silence movie made in France in 1929 and having sound put-in in around ~1960.

Very interesting movie, you should have a look at it when you got time because only 17 min-length ^^

This is a Black and white movie thus I decided to construct my flash in black and white and make it look like an old time movie.

EXPLAINING THE STEPS

My steps of doing Assignment 3 – Title sequence flash:

· Watch and choose the movie Un Chien Andalou.

· Research about the movie and make the list of information that will be put in the flash.

Research pages:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020530/

and

http://www.sensesofcinema.com/contents/cteq/01/12/chien.html

Director: Luis Buñuel

Producer: Luis Buñuel

Screenplay: Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel

Cinematography by Albert Duverger and Jimmy Berliet

Film Editing by Luis Buñuel

Art Direction by Pierre Schild

Music Carl Bamberger (conductor)

Cast

Main Characters:

Simone Mareuil …. Young girl

Pierre Batcheff …. Man

Supporting Characters:

Luis Buñuel …. Man in Prolog

Salvador Dalí …. Seminarist

Robert Hommet …. Young Man

Marval …. Seminarist

Fano Messan …. Hermaphrodite

Jaume Miravitlles …. Fat Seminarist

· Take note of significant parts in the movie and draw the storyboard

In the movie, people most remember 2 scenes:

1. The scene of an eye being cut as a metaphor massage of the film-makers to the viewers: this movie should be watched with different eyes.

2. The scene of ants running outside of a black hole in the man character’s hand. The French phrase “ants in the palms”, (which means that someone is “itching” to kill) is shown literally through this.

Influenced from these scenes, I have decided to design the outlook of the flash with elements such as eyes, ants and the hand. Because this is the title sequence for an old movie, I want to make it look as old as the movie and as simple as how the old-timed title sequences are like.

· Find suitable music

From the website Freeplaymusic.com, I have found “The toymaker’s dream” piece of music, which is very suitable with the mood of the movie – dream-like sequences.

· Work with photoshop to illustrate graphics

· Construct the flash

I decided to make a black and white flash because this movie is B&W one.

I used 3 types of fonts in the flash :

Bookman Old Style

CommercialScript BT

Dutch801 XBd BT

When introducing the title of the movie, I wanted it to appear the same in their poster (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm594777856/tt0020530) but I can not find the exact font thus I have used a resemble typeface.

As the teacher has suggest us at class , we should experiment everything we want when we are student. Thinking of that I try to do a thing that I always want : clay animation .

link

This is a very short clip that I have made, it’s only 30s and even don’t have a story ) I did it in about 1 hour making the clay doll and take picture of it on my floor, then about another 1 hour to edit the picture and make the video. Humh, I’m myself not sastisfied with this video yet. Maybe next time I will put more efford and time to make a longer and nicer video of clay animation. ^^ Thank you !!

Well it’s been a year and a half since my last animation ‘Infestation of the Nutty Joes’ .. but my second is finally finished and HERE ! Danny Silk : Intergalactic Exterminator - Hired by the Intergalactic Planet Corporation, Danny Silk’s job is to wipe clean all alien  Planets for human re-habitation. Unfortunately Danny has a strong romantic side, and just can’t turn down an attractive alien life form.. no matter what the consequences. This short has had to overcome a lot of hurdles to be made. Moving home, changing jobs and computers braking down … it’s been a struggle at times, but we’ve learnt a lot and I am immensely pleased with the final outcome. Watch below..  Better get started on my next then.  

A very merry Christmas to one and all … here’s an animation I made a couple of years ago … happy holidays x 

Here is the trailer for my next short animation ‘Danny Silk : Intergalactic Exterminator’.  

As this is my first post and a bit of a test, I thought I’d post one of my own animations… It is my first serious animation film (completed in 2006) and has been on YouTube for over a year now collecting some very flattering comments (thank you all). I was very new to the wacky world of stop motion animation when I made this, but was more than pleased with how it all turned out. I’ve since been working on another short animation titled ‘Danny Silk : Intergalactic Exterminator’ which I hope to be completed by the new year.  Hope you enjoy x
