Today I watched a few videos of seagulls in flight before making a super speedy frame-by-frame animation. My working process for simple frame by frame animation has become so much more streamlined during this project, by necessity. So much work, so little time. I put the animation behind the final title and put the musicContinue reading “Paddington: Finished?!”

Making the Invisible Visible – FINAL
And who knew that I’d be making a Mau’taroth post in January 2023? Certainly not me. It looks like I’d forgotten to embed the final video here, with finished editing, for submission. Enjoy!
Paddington: Names
I did a few thumbnails in my sketchbook of fonts and line weighting, looking at what would work well with such a busy background. I think the white is good – you know where to look. Now the names are there, they sort of balance out some of the uneven compositions. It looks more finished.Continue reading “Paddington: Names”
Paddington – An End Is In Sight
I’ve been loath to make a new blog post for every little asset I complete, but do know that many hours of love and toil have gone into every second of progress I make. Today’s work was to create the “cheers!” asset, get that boiling, put some cute little fizz in their glasses, and makeContinue reading “Paddington – An End Is In Sight”
Paddington – Tom Kerridge Coloured
Doing this has made me realise two things: one, that I am an illustrator, not an animator – and two, when I animate, I can make it look pretty bloody good. Other things I’ve done is import that big pavilion background into the working file (with the four crops), and put these frames (but transparent)Continue reading “Paddington – Tom Kerridge Coloured”
Paddington – Tom Kerridge Shot
Today I woke up with fear in my heart, but after a morning of work I’m feeling good, loose, happy and I learned a lot! I learned how to manipulate video in Photoshop and to export as a series of images. This will be hugely useful to me with any frame by frame animation IContinue reading “Paddington – Tom Kerridge Shot”
Paddington – Mad Laddington
Cool for everyone witnessing this project thread to get to see my neurons die in real time as the words “Paddington Bear” weave themselves into my thoughts in any way they can. Prime examples are of me calling Roderick “Paderick Roddington”, me trying to say I had to blog paddington but instead trying to “PlagContinue reading “Paddington – Mad Laddington”
Visual Diary – Bound?!
Ever since I drew the Bound reel for Drake and Ludwig – a sweet, loving thing – I’ve wanted to create a sister reel for Mitzi and Antonia that just epitomises silliness and chaos. I took the same audio as before and added a bunch of dumb noises at the end. Again, I challenged myselfContinue reading “Visual Diary – Bound?!”
Visual Diary – Only One Bed?!
Depending on who’s reading this, you may or may not be aware of the infamy of the literary trope that goes: two people try to book at a full hotel, but there’s only one double room left, forcing them to share the bed. It’s famous because it’s cheap, and usually used in fanfictions as aContinue reading “Visual Diary – Only One Bed?!”
Visual Diary – Bound (To Falling in Love)
With some reluctance, I dragged myself up to make another reel. Instagram is absolutely kneecapping still image posts – I’m convinced it’s hiding them – and I am only receiving scraps of engagement on moving image – that is, reels. Of course, I ended up enjoying this. I got to animate a scene from theContinue reading “Visual Diary – Bound (To Falling in Love)”
