A private commission I received over Christmas, to design a number of characters for a mix-and-match style card game: 'Odd Bods'. All characters had to be designed so they could be split into three pieces: head, torso and legs.
Shelter Box Landing Thinking that I would pick up after effects easily was a big mistake! The learning curve to learn to use the puppet tool and animate well was a big challenge for me, also learning how to use effects to create drop shadows took me a while to get my head around. I felt very restricted in what I could do animation-wise, until eventually I felt I had got my head around after-effects. With the shelter box landing shot my main challenge was to get the timing of the landing right so it didn’t look like his feet were slipping on the ground, I had to make them bend at the right time in reaction to the impact of the ground.
