I uploaded that animation I was talking about after its official premiere at the Alrewas film festival!
Here:


Hope you enjoy it!

Making an animation about coffee.

A Coffee that trancends barriers.

I've had a cold recently, its going away now, but for a while the symptoms have made it very hard for me to be properly rested. Had this not effected me so much then I imagine I would have had more of my animation project done.

I'm making this for the purposes of moving beyond what I did on my university course and showing my skills. Mainly as a way to fill up my website and to avoid any awkward questions in future job interviews.

That said, some of the shots of it look kinda neato:





This animation consists mostly of my illustrations that have been animated, I try not to have too many copied things in a scene if it becomes too noticeable, so a lot of new stuff is drawn uniquely for each shot.

If this works I'll try to show it to at film festivals, else I'll post it on the internet where everyone can easily see it.

In zog we trust.

I've made a website!

Its still a work in progress, I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet.

http://www.tombotcreations.co.uk/

Google can't find this site very well yet, but I'm hoping that it will fix itself seeing that I just added some meta tags.

This site has been a cooperation between me and my brother, in particular he made the layout while I made all of the graphics.

This was the original logo and website name I came up with.

Its my fake company name I always call myself in my animations, usually as a joke. But as people have told me its not always contextually appropriate. And as my brother is an advertising major I'm not really justified in doubting him.

Right now I'm just creating content to showcase there as its fairly bare bones as of now.

In Zog we trust.

You know that animation I was wittering about?

Well here it is: http://youtu.be/e8jmcd0U3v4 .

When I look at other animators, its clear to see how easy it would be for them to pass an animation course. It also calls into question what such an award is really worth.

Dumb spam messages.

I don't have a world of warcraft account you stupid bastards.

I marked these all as phishing scams, I feel sorry to all who fell for this garbage.

Also: I have a cold, pity me.

I forgot to mention this!

A short while back I finished a course in animation, third year.

To be precise I entered the third year directly, bypassing the first and second years.

I passed with a 2.2. Not quite honors but nothing to be ashamed of.

There is only one thing I left with that I was completely proud of, a small animation based on things I learned at university.

When I post it I will link it from here, though I don't know who actually reads this.

Whats the point of having a blog if I never post in it?

There is no point, thats the answer.
(I drew that by the way.)
