snail wars - concept for fun film




This is a concept of a short film about snails. It starts off with modern warfare snails that look back in the past and are disgusted that they are slow. So they build a fighter robot. WHen they face the enemy snails in battle again, a lawnmower goes over the enemy army and destroys them. Just an idea.

female character animation

final animation. shame the rig screwed up in the last minute.

Liverpudlian snowboarder

a rather rude character I made but scrapped.

character study

The female character below is the character I have used to make my character animation (even though my film isnt really fully animated).

She is a talking model and is peed off about the mistakes her maker (me) made. She is complaining that she cant move her arms without dislocating her arms and shoulders.

I rig did a last minute screw up! And since time was running out, I decided to make an animation and make her complain that she isnt finished.

I might use her in the future, but she will need to be re-rigged thoroughly.

The only thing that works is the lip synching.

Jools - Script Lecture

Task A

Part 1- Fifteen Minutes
Continue Script




A – What are we going to do about this? (Stands up)

B – I dunno

A – Well, we’ve got to do something

B – Why?


Continued…

A – Cos we are lost and we need to get to Jake’s place. We can’t let him find out from Susan first.

B – Well let him. Why should we be the unfortunate messengers to deliver such terrible news?

A – He’s got a right to know! Besides, if he finds out he’s gonna kill us!

B – No…. he’ll just kill you because you’re responsible. I’m merely a witness in this. (Gets agitated)

A – Oh come on. We’re both buddies. You gotta help me out here! You know I didn’t mean to do this don’t you?

B – How should I know whether you intended this to happen? I need a beer.

A –I’ve done something really terrible and you’re thinking about beer! When we should be finding a way back to the main road!?

B – Indeed. Beer helps you…(gets interrupted by A)

A – Some buddy you are.

B – Where’s the pub?

A – Dude!! I’m serious! I’m in deep shit!

B – (gets agitated) Yeah, a little. Look, just call him on your mobile and tell the truth! You’re gonna die at some point anyway. You’re in enough shit as it is!

A – Thanks!


B – Sure, now where is the damn pub you bleeding imbecile??

Scarface - The Short Version

montage of Scarface to emphasis either the fuck bits.

Montage Editing and Continuity

Montage is something I have discovered to be something quite clever if used properly. Anyone can make a montage out of a film by showing their favourite bits but not everyone sees the psychological impact and effect it may have on the viewers.

Montage comes from the actual word from the french. It is used either to shorten a film to show its general content or to give the film (by using other scenes from different films) a different meaning thus giving the film a totally differen genre to what it is intended to be.

For instance, the film Scarface has been shortened or montaged (see video). All the 'f' words have been carefully edited and arranged so that the shortened film is all about the bad language.

Usually the editor uses to films to edit and emphasise the meaning but montage is a free technique meaning there are no limits.

Basically, scene 1 + scene 2 = scene 3. This basic montage technique uses two scenes to make a third scene with a different meaning.

What I have found interesting but probably obvious is that modern TV and film cannot possibly exist without editing. Can you imagine filming a Hollywood style film with only one camera continously and moving around to get different shots? Impossible but would be interesting if someone actually tried.

character for my project


detailed robot with bump texture and lighting effect.

This is England

Racist Language - very emotional but awesome film. The fact that this film is british, makes it feel more real compared to hollywood quality!



At last - something other than naked female bodies! this is a bump effect with lighting.

Finally! a full body! but no head




I spent a couple of hours doing this body without a break using a rather helpful tutorial online. Sick of female bodies? Male bodies are coming soon! The reason why I made this models is because I have always wanted to create a human body from scratch. Yes, a few things are anatomically incorrect and some bits may be missing but Im quite proud of my accomplishment!

Final Rendering fun



Again, final render for fun and yes...I have forgotten the belly button. But shes not from earth ;)

Again, look away if you are offended.

Female body test





WARNING! EXPLICIT 3D MATERIAL! YOU MUST BE 18 AND BE PROFESSIONAL AND SERIOUS TO VIEW THIS! IF YOU ARE OFFENDED PLEASE LEAVE! (although - dont, because I want you to comment).

This is NOT pornography! Unless you have a fetish with naked 3d women. I decided to make a female model. I have tried and tried for a long time to roughly get the anatomy right. I have used reference but started from scratch using a 12 sided cylinder and moving vertices around. I think the female body is harder to model than the male body because of its shape and form. I have not yet done a male yet because I wanted to overcome the female body modelling first.

Opera of Splatter (Most violent stuff ever)

Just for you kids!

Veronica Lario splatter

Badly shot horror scene. Alot of the effects are slow and a little unclear, which gives us (and it shouldnt) time to realise its fake. poor chick!

Star Stories - Take That (Part 2)

warning- bad language but who cares...its funny

New Beginning






Its has been our first couple of days in animation and we were tought some basics on modelling. Our following task was to make a simple model in 3d Max. I have basic 3d Max experience and have tried to challenge myself.


This model is a warrior woman (dont ask).
