Drawn animation /peg bar

So for a while I wanted to try some hand drawn animation because i had a light box, I looked at peg pegs but for £9 including postage I wasn't really wantingto buying one. So I just taped some mount board to the light box in a hope that I would be able to keep the layers of paper in the same place.

Taking the photos after...who needs a peg bar...

An embarrassing attempt in my opinion... still got to start somewhere.

Needs a lot of work but I do quite like the finished effect just not what actually happened in it!

So yeah i decided i would like a pegbar as it was difficult and not ideal the set up I had ,it did work though!

I spend about a pound on mine using wooden dowel and a ruler,,,

I did realize a clear ruler was not ideal to photograph!

Here it is with some paper on it!

Now to try it out...

Hello there!

He finally has a head thanks to a friend who is all the way in wales who arranged for me to get the wood!

You see the thing about having a head, means I can wear some rather spiffing hats! #

Christmas and slow ins/outs

I am terrible at updating and at the moment doing animation related things.

However I have just finished a Christmas contract and now have less hours work so more time to animate! lets look at the positives!

Over Christmas I didn't do an awful lot I did try some low in/out which I finally got round to editing... didn't take long at all...

Not perfect by a long way, But lightnings good and I took a good number of photos I will do it again with different materials but if I didn't get round to uploading this, I think I would carry on putting other animation stuff off.


Over Christmas however I did design a Christmas Gromit! who got runner up, winning me a rather swish Wallace and Gromit Calendar!!

Gromit... is that you???

I have also started a 10 week painting and drawing class which is interesting...more on that later.

I have also got a place at UCA on their foundation Art and design course :)
