Layout research drawings

Hope you enjoy these I had a lot of fun doing all these and now finnally i get to do some animation. I was down in a local studio and got to watch some Mike Nguyen Lectures and they blew my mind. I really started to approach animating in a different way. I really want to show what i learned from these lectures in this film.

Thanks for stopping by

Layout and background process

This is the process from story board to coloured Layouts . All the drawing is done by me and the colour is by a friend of mine called Matt Horan.

Diagram

I'm submitting this for a leaflet that my college, IADT, is making about their animation course.

A new concept of the sandman

This is a new idea for "The Sandman" . I was advised that I should rethink my approach my design for this film so thats what i'm working on now. I think i'm going to use Roman Polanskis Oliver Twist for some referance. Hope you like it.

The story

• 
  A little boy called Milo goes to sleep tired and cold. He’s afraid of the shadows in the room. He hides behind his blanket and hugs one of his many teddies for protection like he always does every night till he falls asleep into a dream land.
  o The sandman is waiting out side the boy's house in the town
  o The sandman enters the room
  o The boy is afraid of the shadows coming over him
  o As the sandman steps into the room but puts his foot on a squeaky toy.
  o He gets a shock cause he can’t let the boy see him
  o He flies behind his magic cloak and disappears. The kid, startled, gets up but doesn’t see anything in the room. He goes back to bed
  o The sandman reappears in the room
  o Then the sandman sprinkles his sleeping dust on the child.

The child goes into the dream world

o The child runs around his world having the time of his life
o There is an alarm sound the child comes out of his dream to find that he has fallen out of bed.

The child gets up, picks up the teddy on the floor and looks at it. Then he turns to look out the window
It's day time now.
