Since I'm exploring movie production, I want to share a fly-over-sea movie opener I created for our submission in the #yappi group competition, a common cinematic technique. I want to thank Valerian Monye and Stella Nnamani for their input to the project, as they helped me push beyond boundaries. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it as I'm still in the process of refining the opener. #UnrealEngine #EpicGames #UE5 #GameDev #Cinematic #VirtualProduction #RealTimeRendering #3DAnimation #VFX #DigitalArt #FilmMaking #MovieOpener #CGI #GameArt #IndieFilm #Animation #VisualEffects #TechArt #GameDevelopment #NextGenGraphics

Small choices become actions Actions become habits Habits become our way of life A great little animation illustrating a big decision we all need to make https://lnkd.in/gHapKddi

A selection of the shots I animated for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Much of the CG work we did was background chickens and large crowds but this selection focuses on the shots I was lucky enough to do with the hero characters. Of course, about 95% of what you see in the film is stop motion so this reel is not in any way representative of the amount of CG in the film as a whole. For clarity I've made the characters I animated appear in full colour while any stop-frame characters are shown in black and white (apologies for the rough masking, unsurprisingly I don't have access to the comp files) https://lnkd.in/etzHQYNJ

Very powerful short animation. https://lnkd.in/gUaA5jbt

I find it incredibly frustrating how people still label #animation as a genre. It’s a technique used to make movies. A format. An art form. A perfect example of said labelling is the following statement: —— There’s simply nothing to see. If you aren’t interested in superhero movies or animated films, then your only choice is movies with minuscule budgets, often depressing even when they’re exceptional. —— It’s framing animation as a genre, and therefore limiting in what it has to offer… From #WaltzWithBashir and #TheWindRises to #AngryBirds and #TheSeaBeast - and most recently #BlueEyeSamurai - every single animated title I’ve had the pleasure of working on is completely unique. The full article can be found here [https://lnkd.in/e4nZ58EA] and is actually about the rumoured #WarnerDiscovery #Paramount merger talks, but regardless of this, I think we all need to show #Animated movies more respect.

"Anyone can do it" is an animated short film created in one week to express feelings of frustration regarding the current environment in the creative industries. All art and animation is hand-drawn by me in procreate. https://lnkd.in/dqQtdTcG #animation #indieanimation

During the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) we discovered "Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust", an animation movie made with Unreal Engine. We talked with the director, Ishan Shukla, and learned about his approach on how to bring his vision to the screens, including the ups and downs. All in all, it's an invitation to filmmakers to experiment with new tools to be able to tell their stories in their own unique ways.
