Supernatural GF Title Syleboards

Besides making Funkos I've been working on a fan animation recreating the Gravity Falls title sequence for Supernatural. Below are some of the style boards I've done for it 

Most recent demo reel

FINALLY!
It's finished! Check out my complete animation

Moonwalker Update

It's been along while since my last post but I have done lots of progress along the way. All the 2d animations are done. Now I just have to work on 3d shots, effects, and clean up on backgrounds

Chaos - First Draft

So this is a rough start for a personal project im working on to get refamilar with AfterEffects before school starts. It's Littlefinger's monolauge from season 3 of Game of Thrones. There's going to be a lot more to it and theres a lot of tweeks to be made but I just wanted to get some progress up

Moonwalker Update!!!

I compiled everything I have at the moment for Moonwalker. There's still some back holes and some timing issues but this is the general idea. A lot of these boards are really rough so I'll explain basicly what's going on. If you have any tips or advice it will be gladly welcomed


Alright so, it begins at the Captain's house, a wreck and he is disheveled after his family has left. He looks up at the sky and longs for more.

At his job, he is just one of many a member of Setnorm Corporation. The Captain is picked out for a new mission and hauled off to the lab. The Scientist leads him over to his new ship but on the way he catches a glimpse of the SS Julien, but is pulled away to his real vessel, a boring delivery ship.

After everyone leaves he sneaks around and steals the Julien to go wherever he pleases
(This is where the major blackhole but basicly it's going to be him flying around being happy)

The alarm goes off at Setnorm and the Commander is called out to retrieve him. The Captain ignores their warnings and continues to try to fly off. The Commander beams aboard and his team tries to break down the door. The Captain tries to hold them off but the photo of his family falls out then realizes there's no point and returns back to his seat. He flicks a button just in time as the door breaks down.

The Captain shuts his eyes as he accepts his fate as the ship self destructs.


Sad I know
Sorry about that
Well no not really
Things will more then likely be changed around but as I said this is just the basics.
Gotta start somewhere

Moonwalker Clip

It's been up for a couple of days but this is what i've got for the Moonwalker clip i worked on all semester. still need a lot of work but i'm moving on to the rest of the video. as i say in the youtube description I put in some temp coloring and some very basic effects. Over winter break I want to have all of the rest story boarded and focus more on backgrounds

The Scientist character designs

He is employed by the Setnorm Corporation, and his duty is to prepare the Captain for his voyage.
He’s dedicated to his work however things don’t always work out. He’s terrified of his boss, Control and rather not get on his bad side.

Moonwalker Update

Got new scenes really roughed out and put together. Still lots to do but yay progress!!

Ranger Danger Update

First I got a bit more of to my Commander scene. Hopefully this clip will play though

Then I got some video of the guys at last Friday's Late Nite Wake Up Show. There is The Familiar

 

More should be up soon.

Commander Walk Rough

the next scene i'm working on is The Commander walking in and looking at a computer. i got a cleaner pass of The Commander and i've started doing the Worker he looks at

More Storyboards and other upates

Got more of the bridge figured out. I actually have a little bit more done, or at lest sketched out and a title up so I'll be posting up those really soon. if not tomorrow. It's been pretty helpful to work in cameos into the story. Oh yeah, I don't think I wrote it down here but I'm working the guys into the story. I liked my Evil Jon and Scientist Kyle from my character design project. I couldn't use Secret Agent Kellan so instead I made him the head of the security squad.  I also figured out ship designs. 

So this is the SS Julien. (If anyone understands what the model code stands for I will give you a prize, like an original drawing or something of that sort.) I went with closer to a retro feel. At first I looked at more of the sleeker longer style but in the end I went closer to the toy rocket style. Even with the color scheme. I wanted to make it smaller too just so it's easier to believe our Captain can run it by himself

We also have the enemy ship C2A111. I wanted it to look like a giant always watching eye.

Lastly I have a possible Title for the beginning. Based off of Ranger Danger's band sticker. 

Moonwalker Progress

Slowly but surely I'm making progress. Here's two scenes kind of roughed out. I do have more of an animatic but some timing changes need to be done

A Really Quick Scene

just a really quick scene i've been working on in animation 3. i got the keyframes and basically all the inbetweens

Moonwalker Reference

For my senior thesis, I decided to do an animated music video for the band Ranger Danger. After talking to them, or more Jon, on Friday, he told me he wanted to do Moonwalker, their first new single of the summer, and have it like a motion comic. Unfortunately that's all he told me and has yet to respond to my questioning about details so I am moving on on my own. I've been listening to the track over and over to get a broad idea of what's going on, trying to figure out the lyrics for the plot, and... will deal with character specifics when Jon gets back to me. (not sure if we're going to have the band or original characters). Not even too sure if I'm actually doing the artwork or just animating it. I think it will also be fun because it ties in with motion graphics, which I've recently fell in love with and want to pursue more. Little worried about the 3D elements though, but will deal with that when we get there.
I'm now (as I'm typing this) watching some examples of motion comics because, well I've never actually seen any. So far they seem really interesting and should be a cool beast to tackle. Here are some of the ones I've been looking act
