Last season of “Ooglies” - a stop motion show I’ve been working on won a BAFTA last night. It’s some British Award type of thing, or so I’m told. Sounds swell ꒰๑•‧̮ૣ•ૣ๑꒱
(yes, swell enough to put an emoji like that indeed)

And I’m good, just doing little things, like an ant, or a bee, putting little pieces together every day to make a cool film. I will make a cool film, by the way. But heck knows when it will be actually finished.. some day.

I’m a bit saddened by some attitudes towards recent international events. A bit worried. And apparently, I’ve became a happy-go-lucky left wing idealist, so I’ve been told. Like it’s a bad thing..

Gravity pulls you down, it’s a fact;
the way you spell “down”, it’s a rule;
which was is “down” it’s an assumption based on our perspective.

Just thought I should write something meaningful once a year. Because I’m waiting for the sun to cross the sky, and deciding what cake should I bake tomorrow. Also, because I appreciate separating facts from all those whatnots passing themselves as facts if we’re not careful.

Apparently, Earth orbits the Sun.
Thinking ourselves centre of the Universe, we create East and West.

9876: giffing

So here, making gifs became my thing this year. It’s a good exercise, allows to jump between styles every week (unlike real deal animation when you’re stuck in one thing for a month before you realise it’s been a year already). I publish those monstrosities on tumblr. Real world commissions are in most cases owned by clients anyway, so I can’t post much of those.
Freedom of freelancing kicks in a bit too, so I’ve been able to travel more this year, see some inspiring things. I’ve not managed to get to southern hemisphere yet. Which I regret. But I will get there some time. I got sunburn anyway, that's something, for an animator. God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world, pretty much.

gif put together out of bits from work. I like making gifs. But I make them too long. And who the heck make gifs on 24fps anyway...?

things I do to save my soul from being devoured by work. little bird says I'll have a break in May. But he's a compulsive liar, so I wouldn't bet on anything solid.

maybe you can get my stench in this, maybe.

possibly one of the backgrounds for one of my current commissions. Possibly. But I liked it as an image, so in case it never made it to the final render, here it is for the records.

couldn't attend Jaroslaw.

Here there and everywhere, I'm all over the Europe, but at least not in Edinburgh where they currently drown in forced enthusiasm and sea of flyers. Working on a new music video and many little things like I'm an animator or something.

Seasonal* greetings from Edinburgh.

(* Edinburgh has two seasons: Fringe and Hogmanay)

 

Notice the finest sketch of Edinburgh Castle in the background made after a hundred years of seeing it every day. Petty dashed good.

Hedgehog is a project that's not happening for now, but I still doodle on it when I don't have commissioned stuff to work on. Sometimes even when I do, but don't tell anyone. 

And that's not news, but here's some .gifs from Seven Angels music video I worked on some time ago. I love .gif in case you didn't notice, the way computer distorts image bringing it down to however many colours is mysteriously terrific.

Respect for people still checking here. My oh my, I'm so bad.

HERE you can WATCH a music video I made in August but it only just came out recently.

Some real animation for once:

A little test I made a week ago using Alma Mater Edinburgh College of Art rostrum I adore. The one "Etude" was made on. I could marry that rostrum.

Hedgehog has been liberated this week, which could be sad news, but I'm strangely… happy about it. Liberated is the word.
