Digital puppetry - Live Animation / Performance

A quick sketch of an animation to try out another technique. This is a form of puppetry and the illustration was taken from a photograph I took of a 1980's copy of an 'Eagle' comic,
I bought in a charity shop.

I love the idea of using nostalgia and childhood to make new art and stories. Nostalgia is very powerful and there it has the capability to reach and connect to a lot of people in a deep and meaningful way.

I also like the idea of mixing genres and characters to create new universes. Such stories and landscapes could piggyback off a backstory, but ultimately create new concepts that are post-modern and unique.

I'd also like to create puppetry that can be driven by live action. Live voice or video. There is a sense of safety and creative freedom to be had from performing using such masks. Plus, I'd like to create my own puppets, rather than using 3rd party tools to do it, so I can keep my own intellectual and personal property.

Animatics - Story Dev - Production Design and Direction

From storyboard, to animatic. Animatics are a great way to plan out a story from shot to shot from a timing perspective.
A rough and loose animation to show how the story might flow and progress, giving a chance to tweak before the actual process of production begins.

This is a great tool to be able to plan out
experiences and environments that are immersive.
Very helpful to understand the look and feel of sets and such a process can help greatly with production design and making sure everyone involved on a project is on the same page.

Sound and Music also features here too, so it is a first look draft at all elements together.
