I am overwhelmed and so proud of this creation. The writers and creators at Blizzard have done an incredible job on the trailer/origin story, most of the credit has to go to them of course, and to Andrea Toyias who directed me and allowed me to bring my own ideas to the table. Together we searched and played around with various sounds and inflections until we found Sigma. I then spent a handful of evening recording sessions screaming and shouting in a microphone until I lost my voice. It was an intense but insanely fun experience, and I can only hope there's plenty more to come!<br />

I never worked on a video game before so this is very new and exciting territory for me. I was a huge fan of the first game for its lovely characters, story, gorgeous artwork and glorious score, so I couldn't pass on the opportunity to help craft the follow up. I'm helping with story, animatics for cut scenes and cinematics, and of course lots of animation for the characters.<br />

I can't believe I made this little clip 10 years ago. The plan was to do one every year. Alas, life and work got in the way every single year. Hopefully next year something will shift.

I just found some old pencil tests for the St Trinians animation test I worked on with <a href="http://www.ulimeyer.com/">Uli Meyer</a> in 2010, and thought it'd be nice to put them on a timeline and share them. Each shot is repeated 5 times for closer scrutiny. Go to the video page for a more detailed history of the project and full credits.<br />

It's been nice to see it come together in only a couple of weeks. Everyone is so familiar with the characters and work flow at this point that we've been cranking out footage like nobody's business. Most animators have moved onto other projects or are celebrating on some beach having a well deserved break. I finished my last shot last week (I wasn't involved with the above clip), and am developing walk cycles for one of the main characters in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4624424/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Storks</a>, Warner Bros.' next feature, on which more later.Boris Hiestandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899648137868635425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607244.post-78473156323187924272015-10-04T19:43:00.001+00:002015-10-04T19:43:41.793+00:00Angry Birds Teaser<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1U2DKKqxHgE" width="480"></iframe><br />
I've been working on this silly thing since January. I know, it's Angry Birds. It shouldn't be allowed. It's not supposed to be any good. But it is. And it's coming. You'll go see it. And you'll love it.

It's always lovely to see some top notch 2d animation and I hope it does well. For now it's quite hard to find as it slowly makes its way around the world in a very select few theaters but I hope it gets a wider release in the future and the attention and accolades it deserves.<br />

Needless to say we were all incredibly excited to meet and work with the legendary actor.<br />

Because I did the scratch track (temp) voice of the main character Max who Lee had all his scenes with I was asked to go into the booth with the man to give him Max's lines so he had something to bounce off of and act with, an incredible experience!<br />

After the recording session Lee mesmerized us all for quite some time with stories about his incredible life. We heard about his royal heritage, his time in the RAF's intelligence division, a sword fight with Errol Flynn which went awry, his lamentations on always being asked to play villains and monsters, his opera singing career, and his opinions about and experiences with the likes of Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing, Tolkien, Ian Fleming, Sean Connery, Tim Burton and Peter Jackson to name but a few. A cab had been called after the recording to take Sir Christopher home, but because nobody wanted to end the session/storytime, the cabbie waited outside with the meter running for several hours. The cab fare must have been astronomical....<br />

For now you can see one of them in this trailer. "Aint no thing like me, 'cept me!"<br /><br />

I've just finished my first week at Framestore, where I'm helping out with some animation on the upcoming Marvel comic-turned-to-movie extravaganza "Guardians Of The Galaxy". It's been 6 years since I've worked in visual effects (at the time I was involved with "Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix" and "10,000 B.C." At MPC) and it sure takes some getting used to the involved pipelines again, but the team here is great and I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun. I've seen large portions of the film and just like last year's "The Avengers" that it ties into, it's a lot of silly tongue in cheek fun.</div>

Meanwhile the Cuthbert short is chugging along slowly. Uli and I have started storyboarding, but with Christmas looming and the new job progress will be near non existent until mid Jan.</div>

Incredible art if you ask me. The proceeds of the sale will go towards realising the short film. Where that's concerned I'd like to share that we're happy with the story outline we've been chipping away at and as of today we start storyboarding!<br />

"What's your process?" is often the question so I thought I'd do a post showing the steps from beginning to end. Anyone serious about animated walks need look no further than Dick Williams' wonderful book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Animators-Survival-Richard-Williams/dp/0571238343/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383923153&sr=8-1&keywords=the+animator%27s+survival+kit">"The Animator's Survival Kit"</a> for tips and tricks by the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When working on an actual scene where there is probably more going on than just walking or running, it's nice to go straight ahead after the first blocking as the result tends to look more spontaneous and organic, but in this case it was just a simple cycle so it became more of a technical exercise. First I roughed out the main walking positions, very quickly, without much detail: step left, down, middle, up, step right, down, middle, up, so we can return to step left. I shot the eight drawings on 4s:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span color:="">Right away I saw I didn't like the movement of the cap, it's too much, and there's some jerking and twitching going on in the upper arms. Also, there is no sense of dimension or perspective yet. I didn't want to go overboard with this as part of the charm of Uli's designs is that they should read as flat drawings, but I thought that at least I should add a little feel of Eric's face and body moving away and towards us as it adds a slightly more sculpted feel. Otherwise I felt quite confident going in and starting to add detail:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span arial="" color:="" font-family:="" sans-serif="">It's starting to look like something now. I left the cap and hair out at this stage as I thought I might still change the spacing a bit; add more drawings when he's at his highest perhaps, maybe take some out when he's down so the steps are a bit more bouncy. The body and head are now moving a little bit more in perspective, though everything still feels quite flat. The main thing I noticed is that I went overboard a bit with the nose and upper lip. It looks nice and funny but they really are bouncing up and down too much, Eric isn't made out of rubber. I tend to go too far (cos it's so much more fun to go wild!) and then have to reign myself in a bit. I also found the wrists snap too much on the arm swings. Breaking the joints in movement adds a lot of sexy looking flexibility, but here the eyes are drawn to it too much:</span></span><br />

<span arial="" color:="" font-family:="" sans-serif="">The cap now adds more dimension to the face, and I've changed the eyes as well so on the step right position the face is almost profile. My experimenting with the spacing is done so I went straight ahead over the drawings to do the hair. I'm noticing that the nostrils and teeth are jumping around and that the belly volume isn't up to standard yet, that still needs fixing. Other than that we're almost there. I could keep fixing a lot of other things I'm not happy with (those wrists cou</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ld be toned down even more)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> but at this point we're not looking for perfection, this is just a test so we can figure out a pipeline for the film. Uli took my drawings and went over them to put Eric on model, and he put the whole thing on 1s as well(my final version was still mostly on 2s) adding an extra smoothness to everything. Needless to say he can draw circles around me, it's amazing how much better everything instantly looks the moment he touches it!</span><br />

We're using it now to promote the characters and hopefully garner more interest in both the books and the upcoming short. Please share!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't been blogging for many a moon, partly because I've been so busy running around from project to project, and partly because I never think my work is of enough significance to talk about. This will now change and you'll see me blogging a great deal more, as my good friend <a href="http://www.ulimeyer.com/">U</a><a href="http://www.ulimeyer.com/">li Meyer</a> has asked me to help him make an animated short. I've worked with Uli for many years on commercials and features, and if there's one thing I've learned from the experience it's that the end result is always something significant and worth talking about. We <span style="color: #222222;">live i</span>n a time where the vast majority of quality animated content you see is computer generated, and yet there seems to be a real thirst for traditional hand drawn pencil animation. Uli and I are incredibly passionate about this kind of work and we'll try our best to create a hand drawn film that will please both modern audiences with attention span disorders and fans of the old classics! Impossible? Perhaps, but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun trying. Wish us luck, and watch this space for news and updates!</span><br />
