Falling Kinestasis: Raw Footage

This hasn't been edited yet, it's only the raw footage shot on the Oxberry (which was serial 004 by the way). The Oxberry is now my dear friend and I don't fear him anymore. I just need to color correct, mask out some things, and add title slates.

A Posse Ad Esse: Test animations

This is only a quick test to see if the assets would work, but it gets across the basic feel I want the piece to have. Also, I've finished the soundtrack for the film.

Blue Jelly Swimmin'

Quick test of the blue jelly. :) I still plan to smooth it out.

Workin' those jellies...

Today I finished the AfterEffects animation on one of the jellyfish for a loop-able motion. Then I saved the comp, replaced the parts with the ones from a different jellyfish, and saved it out as a different named comp. I did this two more times until I got a separate comp for each jellyfish, but each with the same animation. I saved a lot of time and stress this way. :) I'll upload a preview of one of them later.

A Posse ad Esse Jellies

These jellyfish are created to be completely puppet-able. Each tentacle is separate and ready for independent animation. They will be prominent in A Posse ad Esse as background elements that the little girl creates.

Update (Project: A Posse ad Esse)

I'm working on some of the animation for A Posse ad Esse today. I'm animating a few shots of the little girl and also working on some of the digital assets.

Story/Structure Outline: 

It begins with a little girl in darkness. She begins to move as though she’s shaping something out of nothingness and a charcoal goldfish emerges from her hands. She widens the distance between her hands and the fish grows enormous. She jumps onto it’s back and as the fish swims through the blackness, she forms more things out of nothing: more goldfish, jellyfish, octopi, buildings, giant bubbles, magic lights, and more. The world around her becomes more and more colorful until she has created a paradise.

Mostly an exploration piece, I want to work with a wide variety of mediums to produce a unified film.
