Discovering Hyundai- Sketches

Just some sketches I did  which I've used in the Discovering Hyundai music vid competition. So I lazily took photos of them and emailed them to myself. Rediscovered the power of the pencil.

It's late at night and about to head out to do some guerrilla filming. So do not fear, we may look like zapazistas, but we're just camera guys. Shooting. Footage.


Sum up,
Sleep well.

Hindsight. Foresight into the mind state of the British director

Here is some artwork I've been rendering for some short film, bit of a dirtbag grind. That's why you all get to see a sample, before they do. Cause I'm good like that.
All the stuff you see was done in the photoshop, holy grail of digital art, and the trusty old graphic tablet. Practically paid for itself with the story art I did for the Reece music video.

I sketched images first, scanned up and get the working:

And another:

15 images. Tad much for a short film. But I am taking it all with a grain of salt. Sorry just really short with individuals that like to waste the god's time without following film decalogue. But you know me... I get's it in- hard. Also beginning the animation music video for Candy Rose. It's the last of the trilogy she had going. Just need to finish these sketches and artwork so I can focus on the vid.

Sum up,
Go hard or fade away into nothing, and get the gun app for the iphone. The shotgun- cock it and call Cameron to get his attention.

Under the flesh, pass the muscle and blood...

Skeleton. Roughing out lots of key frames and inbetweens for the animation. Kept my head down for a couple of weeks and came back up to see I had sketched out a little over a third of the action. It's the dance that's most tedious. Plus got my Bamboo graphics tablet so I'll be seeing how it fares.

"Behold (not really) and I'll make you a believer".

It's gotten all sinister in here. Feel my steely hate.

Sum up,
Yeah well, still waiting on those headphones. And pancakes with syrup...

And just as I was typing this, got my Sakura pens from Hong Kong delivered to me. Hong Kong, dude! And they delivered in record time. Shape up, people!

M & S just got Blunted (hopefully).

M & S. The Marks and Spencers. You know, the people that made that ad with the hot black french chick in underwear. Mm. But are they financial supporters of Israel jingoism? 'Higher' quality products for even higher prices?

Well, I don't know about all of that...but helped out with a pitch Pretzel Films (pretzelfilms.com) is putting forward to them. Something about being able to view your payslips online...I don't know. It was done in the style of Sliding Doors, but screen is split down the middle, one showing a woman looking for a payslip the old way, and the more easy, efficient computerised M & S approach. Consisted of 4 panel story art, in colour, something that should have taken me just a few hours...took longer, as being a story artist... changes keep popping up.

Funny thing is, the first chick I drew (protagonist) was your typical model-type, happy, white and not a care in the world. But one of the criticisms was she was too Barbie-like- she should be 30 something with 2 kids, less shapely etc. And they sent me to M & S site to look at examples of their business suits to draw on her. But take a look on M & S's site, they do not cater to the ordinary woman... anything outside the model-20 something-long hair-lightskin- toned scope was none existent. That is M&S target audience, people that look like that or people vain enough to want to look like that. And I know you're thinking, 'what about that mature chick in the ad...she wasn't 20 s0mething?' Yeah, but she was famous, well as 'famous' as anyone can get in Britain. This is just an observation.

Have a look at sketches I did (before the woman was a man):
And one of the finished panels

I used a screen shot of my iMac for the desktop- had to clear all the porn off first of course.

The Sum up,
work experience, minus the bullsh*t
