Character design

Hi there.
I've been working a lot on the character design for my shortfilm, and I've come down to this one.
Things might change again later, but for now, I feel I've hit something that'll work.

Let me know what you think!

Week 43 drawings

Here is a collection of drawings I've made at thursday and friday.

We were to develope characters from an imaginary film project themed Clown Hunters.

I designed a few clowns and they looks like this:

I also drew a movie poster :

Cheers!

Library sketches

Today I vent to the library to sketch people.
I was there for about two hours. Here is the 0.001% that came out sorta acceptable ;-)

Check it out :)

visual identity

Hi :)

Today I tried to do a bit of cg work for the shortfilm.
I'm trying to find the visual look/identity for the film, and of course a lot of will be in the textures and shading as well, bit in lighting and compositing as well.
Anyways, just wanted to throw it at ya!

I rendered a 50 frame sequence with a simple camera move, and a bunch of different renderpasses, which I composited together to get to this result. The rendertimes, even with motion blur were acceptable at this point, which is a pretty good sign.
I think this scene will be the one I will use to find the style, both in look and later in animation.

The lab :D










Feel free to speak your mind and leave a comment :)

Pink Panther assignments

Hi there.
Here is a collection of the latest school assignments I've done.
They feature the lovely Pink Panther character.

They shouldn't be considered final animation pieces, but as the animation studies there are.
Because of time/skill constraints, they all have severe lacks in different areas, but work okay in the areas of focus :)

Pink Panther Table hit from Christoffer Andersen on Vimeo.

Pink Panther Standard Walk from Christoffer Andersen on Vimeo.

Pink Panther Attitude walk from Christoffer Andersen on Vimeo.

I aplogize for the lack of preview image.
Hopefully Vimeo will add it soon!
Cheers!

Shortfilm updates

Nothing to show just yet, but some exciting news for sure, though.
I'm still damn busy at school, but I'm still kicking on with the short film.
In about a week I'm going to pitch my film and present whatever work I have done, to The Open Workshop, at The Animation Workshop, here in Denmark. Open Workshop (OW) is housing and support for animated shortfilm projects, both national and international.
This means that a lot of super talented people is roaming the hallways in the building.

If things goes well, I will be able to pick their brains a bit, and get creative feedback on storyboard (story), color development, character design, music/sound and so forth.
This will mean a world of difference for the final outcome, indeed!

This means that now, I'm really trying to get some work done, and make it ready for presentation. What ever I have, I will of couse uploade here on the blog, for you to see.

More updates will follow soon! both from this project and for school animation.

Cheers
