Website

I now have a website..

linseyelliott08.wix/linzanimation

I have put some images I have done on to this site and a few of the videos. Enjoy!

Here is another sketch I have recently done..

Show Reel

Quite a bit I want to amend on this, as in the length, the music and the clips. I will update this when I have some new work.

Sausage Man

Here is my year end project for college.

This was created in Cinema 4D and the song is by Eocene.

There are some things I would like amend on this project and when I get the chance I think I will make it 'complete'

Animalz

Over the weekend I had a mad few hours of doodling. Some of the drawings I am not posting just yet as I want to expand on them to make more of a series so keep posted for that upload!!

But I have drawn a few animals which I would like to share. I am thinking these are more aimed at the younger crowd, possible characters for a short animation done in traditional style or even characters for a book. I may actually write one for my nephews and nieces and use these characters :).

Cinema 4D

This is a character I created on Wednesday using Cinema 4d. I used a cube for the body and for the arms. I then used a circle for the eyes and used a spline to create the leaves.

Mr Carrot Man..

Odd Co Live Brief

We have been given a brief from Odd Co which is a toy company, we have been asked to come up with a simple toy and see if it is good enough for them to go into production with. I am excited for this brief, even if I am not successful, I will still have the experience and also the sketches and 3d works I will be producing for it.

Cinema 4D Letters

I have tried out a few more of the mograph techniques on Cinema 4D. I wanted to try out the different colours for the letters and also the lighting. The idea came randomly so there isnt much to explain about them.

Water Effect and Title Video

I have been trying to do some water effects as for my final animation one of the scenes takes place in the bathroom and I wanted to see if I could add water to the bathtub. I used cinema 4D and used the random effector and also used the noise texture on the material.
I like how this has turned out. I like the reflection on the sand as if the sand was wet.

I also played around with doing a signature video with my name and this is one I came up with:

Spare Time Doodles

I love to doodle, here are a few of my sketches I have done in the past little while. My sketch books are very random, some pages have about 40 doodles to one page, I can see them all but to someone else it probably just looks like a page of pen/pencil. I have loads more which I upload some more at a later date. I have a picture I did of hands and a rose for my cousin which I am making into a painting, I will upload that one once I get my portfolio from college. I have lots of paintings which I have done but I gave them away as gifts so once I find my photos of those I can post those :)

Coming back to drawing after dealing with computers all the time feels great, totally clears the mind and gets me back into the frame of mind to do my projects. Love it!

Other Work

I was asked by my cousins burlesque leader if I could come up with some designs for business cards and possibly for posters. She gave me a few images for inspiration from an animated burlesque calendar, they had a traditional style to them, red lipstick and pined up hair (pin up girls).

 I spent a few hours on illustrator trying out different pen strokes and designs.

She is currently looking them over to see what she thinks so I am waiting for feedback for any tweaks.

This is a project I gave myself to do on illustrator. My cousin had asked if I could do her a painting of two hands with a rose in the palm and then have the verse she got married to. I did a sketch and started the painting and thought I would try illustrator as I havent used it in a while, its always good to brush up on programs. I am planning on adding a dove to the background as if the hand is letting the dove go.

Sausage Man Moves

I have rigged Sausage Man and have done some movement tests for him to see how well he moves.

Rosaleens Wedding Decor

My mam has a wedding company and has asked if I can help her redo her website and if I can come up with some 3D designs to add to it. So when I was making my name title I decided to try out a few for her as well. It is again on Cinema 4D and I tried out difference textures with different lighting.

I like the black and white design better as I feel it stands out more, the green one reminds me of B & Q or a garden centre so that one I am definitly not going for. I have sent the black and white to my mam and am waiting back to hear what she thinks.

I also tried out a few other textures on names, trying out backgrounds, lettering and lights on cinema 4D.

The two I like the best are the first one and the last one, they stand out more to me and look better (in my opinion).

I am enjoying working with cinema 4D now, at the beginning of the course I wasn't too much of a fan but now that I have had more experience on it I am liking the tools and what they can do.

Giving myself a name

I have decided its time to come up with some form of ident for myself, I spent the day trying out the 3d texts in cinema 4D and have come up with the following:

Everything is always better with sound :) I am happy with the my first attempt at my own signature ident.

Back Garden

After sorting out the weeds and rubbish in the back garden I decided to try doing a 3D model of what I would like. We are also planning on breeding our dog this year so we need some space for her so this is what I have come up with so far, it is a work in progress so it is not complete yet.

The concrete section is going to be fenced off so the puppies can go in there and run about. The back at the moment is just concrete slabs so will be a very big improvement if we actually do what's on this picture (with a bbq and table of course as well :)).
