Wallpapers

So I wanted a blood splatter wallpaper for my laptop, but there really aren't any good ones that fit a 17in Laptop screen. So I made my own.
I used a paper texture from Lost and Taken and a photoshop brush Dried Blood Splatters
I'm putting it up on here so if someone else in the world had the same problem it is now fixed.

What I did instead of other things

So this is what I did in class today, since I finished my final project already anyways in that class. I took the final to another level and put it to music.
However it's glitch music so most people might not like it. Actually it's a maxdata computer booting up but it works as music.

Motion Graphics!!!

I'm in an Aftereffects class right now and am loving it currently we are working on puppet animations.
Our last project was a logomation.
I got Mercedes Benz for it.


The next one I'm doing an adaptation from a short story in the Story Girl by L.M. Montgomery.
It's the story of the Orchard Ghost.
Here is a newspaper I made for it.
I used a texture from Lost and Taken a vintage newspaper and Photoshop to make it.

So more will come soon!

Back to School

So the school year is starting and It's my Junior Year! Guess what that means. JUNIOR PROJECT!!!! anyways we had pitches on the first day of class which I pitched a story called Lydia. This was not picked which I'm actually kinda glad cause I was nervous about being a in charge of a story my first time out.

Here's some story beats from the pitch

And a little concept design

I will however be working on a project which was pitched as lifeless and is going to be a stop motion but that all I'm going to tell about it. I am on one of the two person teams with Mike Ackerman, who is an fabulous animator, so the final product should be pretty good. 

My teacher does want me to go back to my pitch for my senior year but with a more refined story.

So here's to the new school year, may it have lots of great animations.

And Good Luck to everyone else as they start their school year.
