NIGHT PARADE

Night Parade from Sabrina Cotugno on Vimeo.

My second-year film. :)

I got into the Producer's Show, I'm very happy!!

And you'll need your mind for later on

MORE LAYOUTS. These are actually reworkings of shots I finished ages ago but am deciding to redo, because the original ones were a bit sloppy.

ARE THOSE YELLOW EYES TOO SILLY I DON'T KNOW. I'll fix it in After Effects.

Hyde break

Okay, I was a good animator today and worked through the morning, so I get to take a break and draw a silly picture of Hyde listening to "Where is My Mind?"

I would really prefer to be watching Fight Club right now. Oh well, back to work 8D

(This is possibly the girliest Hyde I have ever drawn)

I've been spazzing out all semester about how my story portfolio doesn't have anything really funny in it (normal funny, as opposed to "wow that owl is really being eaten alive that is funny" funny). I also don't have anything that could really be considered "rough". These.... aren't really rough either, but I resisted the urge to tone the crap out of everything.

ADELE IS MY PET MOUSE. SHE LIKES TO BURROW. I SWEAR THESE BOARDS LOOK BETTER IN AN ANIMATIC WHEN THEY'RE NOT LAID OUT SIDE BY SIDE LIKE THIS.

....I just realized that ALL of my storyboarding projects involve a small creature running away from a big one. Uh oh.

Layoutpalooza

As I get less and less confident in my grasp on storytelling, I compensate by making COLORFUL LAYOUTS.

The idea is to give everyone who passes through the Mac labs the idea that I must be making a good film because I'm using so many CoLoRs, and then to disappoint them majestically at the open show when they find out that actually the film as a whole is completely incoherent.

My boss made fun of me, saying that I must not have spent enough time on story if I have so much time to color my film (which I....don't, really). This is actually the opposite of true. I had a much firmer grasp of what the story was when it was simple than when I tried to screw around with it all first semester and ended up with something confusing and overly complicated.

I'm so bored of animating this shot

Five minute doodles drawn while listening to Regina Spektor~

LONG WEEK OF LONG

I woke up tired, isn't it awful when that happens??


My method for creating backgrounds: draw a questionable layout, attempt to fix the composition later, cover most of it up with magical bubble lights.


Mysteriously I got a LOT of sketching done in a very short time on Tuesday.
I had a brief period of actually knowing how to draw Lucy, which impressed me. That girl has huge hips. She is also brash and angry almost all the time, and yet she's probably one of the least aggressive women that Dr. Jekyll has ever become entangled with. As in she's not very likely to beat him up when she gets bored of him.


I like the kittystretch!Hyde!! Mrrrrr..... (I made other attempts to draw him cat-like but ran up against the limits of my drawing ability.)


Lucy shouts a lot, which is really the only way to get Hyde to listen to you. I drew this mostly because the gesture popped into my head but also because I wanted to draw that huge bustle sticking out in the back.
