FixtureFeed

2010-12-27T14:02:00.000-08:00

I have been working with programmer Matt Reid (http://www.matt-reid.co.uk) to create his first Android app 'FixtureFeed'. It's now available to download for free on the Android store!

It lists all the upcoming football games on Freeview and allows the user to add them as events to their calendar. It's not just limited to football events, there's a set of options which allow you to adjust the keywords to make a more varied search.

This is a first for both of us, though hopefully not the last. Watch this space for more apps from Codefish in the future!

Parents 1st

After another long break from blogging, I've decided to get back to it! I've probably accumulated a back-log of things to write about but this is something quite recent:

Some of the graphics I have been working on - used in an exhibition held by Parents 1st.

Mythical creatures that can only be found around the atmospheric grounds of Woodhall Manor. Here is the first one, still trying to think of a name...

Parents 1st Illustrations

2008-09-08T07:58:00.000-07:00

My most recent work has been creating a website for new social enterprise Parents 1st (http://www.parents1st.org.uk). Each page needed its own illustration with the theme of family life and peer support. They were all made with hand painted houses, tissue paper skies, paper chains and textures in a simple 3D set up and lighting.

Reaching for Fireflies....

2008-05-12T14:31:00.000-07:00

This is a sample of the environment for the glowing yeti.. (must think of a better name!) Needs a little bit of tweaking.. but getting there I think...

More Linetest....

2008-04-12T02:43:00.000-07:00

This line test requires a bit of imagination, he is creeping around behind trees, he is not actualy called the "Fog Creature" and his description (if any) is not "blah blah"....

The first shot shows him stalking another creature which is in the background, behind the trees (which havn't been put in)...

The other bit is when he peeks out from one of the same non-existant trees, takes a deep breath and blows fog out of his mouth to conceal himself from his prey.

Yawning...

2008-04-03T15:55:00.000-07:00

I think this has been the hardest bit of animating so far... making the large creature stretch and then fall alseep while putting the painted texture on him so it fits to his movements. My aim is to give him as much level of detail to the original painting as I can get. Unfortunately a lot of this detail is lot on this blog's small size video.

There's still a bit of shadow that needs to be put on but that will be defined by the lighting of his surroundings which will be sorted out later...

Right now I feel a lot like this tired creature... goodnight!

Tree Creature

2008-03-25T18:01:00.001-07:00

started to animate and composite what is probably the most akward creature in the film to create... He is very detailed, slow and creaky. Due to his size and extremely tall proprotions, I have found him very hard to storyboard him in the way I would like...

While he sleeps, the night changes colour and here is a sample of what the sky behind him might look like.

Fun with Tissue Paper and Lights

2008-03-19T11:13:00.001-07:00

For the varying types of forest, I have been photographing layers of tissue paper on a transparent board lit from behind.

Putting more layers of light blue tissue paper on top of a layer seems to give it a more blurred, foggy and out-of-focus look. This could prove useful for the fog effects in the final scenes of my animation and also for the shots which need a low depth of field.

New Website

2008-03-19T08:54:00.000-07:00

www.yetiplay.com is now partially up and running... it's very crude right now, it is eventually going to be a flash site showing the final results of my degree with maybe a few interactive games and things but at the moment its just a few pages that link together with the words "coming soon" ... at least that means I've re-discovered the password to my webspace... which is an improvement over this morning! Yay!

We have finally got to meet our collaberative partners from Holland and had a show of everyones work for the BREDA project!
My yeti was printed out to almost the same size as me...

Incomplete Backgrounds

2007-10-25T15:37:00.000-07:00

Here are the water colour paintings on cardboard that will hopefully become the backgrounds.

They still need a bit of work done to them to make them the right lighting/colours, etc.. which I will do with a grahics tablet.

A rough idea of how the Root Yeti looks when he is screaming and trying to escape

BREDA Project Character Designs

2007-10-11T03:50:00.002-07:00

The Root Yeti is a large, fat creature that has grown out of roots in the forest.
Roots coming out of his body still attach him to his environment.
Despite his size, he doesn't eat anything.
He only needs light and water to survive (like a plant)
The leaves on his back catch the sunlight.
They fall off in the autumn and grow back in the spring.
His fingers are roots which he uses to drink water.

He is very gentle, and very shy, if anyone sees him they run away so he is very lonely.
He is scared of people too and he hides by laying down on his front so he looks like the ground of the forest and people just walk right over him without knowing he is there.
