Animation Bootcamp | School of Motion

A collection of videos created during the Animation Bootcamp course with the School of Motion, a 3 month intensive course that I undertook in 2020.

The Ministry of eye Control

Surrender your eyeballs.

A case study exploring the animation concept of ‘Eye Trace’, a powerful tool which is basically the process or art of directing the viewers eyes across the screen to the right place at the right time, hence the notion throughout the animation of ‘controlling the eye’. This was originally an assignment as part of the Animation Bootcamp course I took through the School of Motion before it grew wings.

I hope this brings pleasure to your juicy eyeballs.

CIRCLE SOCIETY

Be there or be square!

A case study exploring reinforced motion by using layers of animation to reinforce the direction of movement to give a scene a sense of momentum.

Disclaimer: The Circle Society doesn’t condone the discrimination of squares in any way. We just don’t like to be around them.

Mortal Pong-Bat

A case study exploring the animation principles of “anticipation, overshoot & follow-through” while paying tribute to one of my favourite games to come out of the 90s and still be a hit today, Mortal Kombat.

Pool nudl

A case study exploring the animation principles of “Follow-Through” in a fun and bendy style of animation. Kinda makes me feel like getting wet!

COW BLAST

A fun little case study exploring the animation principles of “Anticipation and Overshoot” which are applied in this case in a technical / mechanical fashion as we lock onto the target. I think it's UFO Steak Night tonight!

Mister Ball-Box

A case study exploring the animation principles of “Anticipation and Overshoot” in a fun and springy style of application. If ever you have any loose balls to take care of, you know who to call.

the 4 easty steps For successful living

This fun, dynamic and design focused animation was originally an assignment called Step 3 that explored the art of smooth transitions from the Animation Bootcamp course I took from the School of Motion. In the assignment, we were only given the storyboards for steps 1, 2 and 4 only, so I came up with the idea for Step 3 and created the vector assets in the same style. I also came up with the concept and design for the typographic lockups for the intro and outro, and then ended up tweaking most of the design in some way to suit the new look I gave it.

(DISCLAIMER: I’m probably not the best person to come to for life advice…)
