New Animation

Keeping up with the skate theme, here's another little mixed media rotoscope piece:


These frames were initially intended for another, slightly more ambitious project. Though after printing them out, I realised they were likely too detailed for it to really work with the other project, along with too many frames (there are 27 here). I am still doing the 'other project' (sounds so ominous), but have scaled it down slightly to a more manageable 12 frame loop, something I feel will be more effective anyway.

But I only realised the above once I had printed out all the frames and realised why I was procrastinating starting it so bad. I think I just knew it might not work, plus was a little too ambitious (it's an ambitious project anyway, the amount of frames/ detail here was only adding to it). But I was loathe to have these frames go to waste, so decided to get my boxes of pens out and see what came to mind! I would have likely done a different style and probably all in computer rather than printing it, because I feel it's a bit similar to my last skate animation, but like I said, I didn't want to just throw the printed frames in the recycling without using them as it felt like such a waste of materials and time.

I do think it works nicely though and I really like the vibrancy of the whole thing, but I think now it's time to call time on that line style pattern I keep using! I feel I kind of default to it whenever I produce anything analogue like this and I think I've pretty much exhausted it for now. Time to move on and come up with something else... She says starting to panic!

See you in the next one, stay hydrated xo
