Disney Veg

Here are two shots from a short for The Disney Channel. It was a competition for viewers to come up with a short. So the winning idea was made by us using the designs and story from the winner.

Prof. Chicken

Here is a pencil frame from one of the Amazing Animals episodes. They were from the animated inserts for a live action kids wildlife program on the Disney Channel.
Here you can see the match lines in Red - So in clean up you had to make sure the lines matched those of the time machine he was sitting in (you couldn't just put him on a level below because his hands over lap the front of the windscreen).
The green line was to be clear that it is his coat. It just makes things a little clearer when passing on your work to an assistant or clean up artist. If you look closer you can see how the picture has been adjusted around the face area to make it better or animate right.

Mr Rex

Good day to you. Here is Mr Rex. He was one of the many characters from the series Amazing Animals for the Disney Channel. Amazing Animals was a live action series with a CG computer lizard as it's host. Every episode there was 4 times 40second 2D shorts in it which we did the animation. Mr Rex was one of the recurring characters. He was my favourite as we made him into a little softy really.
Oh as a side note, the pegs were at the top as he was a panning level (which the BG panned through shot behind him on bottom pegs). When we would animate the pegs would always be at the bottom of a page. It makes flicking the pages easer.

Stop-Motion

What a lovely morning it is here in Bristol. Here are some images from a trailer we did for the Disney Channel back in 2002. It was stop motion with a CG BG. They were basically on a roller coaster ride. The models are still in the studio but they are looking a little worse for wear now.
