Face Off

My first foray into sand animation. Bashed out in half a day.

The classic 'beard and 'fro' combo. 

Trophy Wife

I directed, edited and animated this new music video for Oxford band Trophy Wife, along with some talented friends of mine. Keep your ears peeled and your eyes to the ground for it's imminent release into the internet-o-sphere. 

New Showreel

Character Animation Showreel // 2012 from Steve Warne on Vimeo.

I wasn't just sitting around during all those months of blogless inactivity. I was standing around. Animating. Here's my new reel, including shots from Tim Burton's forthcoming stop-mo feature Frankenweenie (plenty more to come after the film's release), Breakthru Film's The Magic Piano (Part of Project Chopin) and some older stuff; The Astronomer's Sun and Savage Mountain.

An Old Sculpt

I made this chap a little while ago. He's been sitting on a shelf gathering dust ever since. No wonder he looks so miserable.

At last, here's my latest showreel. It's mostly stuff from The Astronomer's Sun, Savage Mountain, bits and pieces of other college projects and a couple of Aardman tests thrown in for good measure.

Let me know what you think.

Done

Savage Mountain was finally finished a few weeks ago. Here's a little teaser - an opening extract from the film:

Nearly there...

This is the result of some experiments on After Effects the other day. It's for a potential film project I'm brewing.

Latest...

I was at the BAFTA Scotland New Talent Awards last week. Lions had a nomination in the music video category which it went on to not win. But on the bright side, we were beaten by another lion related video from Natalia Stuyk, an ECA animation graduate from last year . Much deserved if you ask me.

I've been busy getting the last few frames of Savage Mountain animated. That picture above proves it. And I've got a little installation project that I want to do in the next few weeks which should be ready for the ECA degree show. It's all happening.

Doodles

Here's a few select pages from some sketchbooks and journals of mine. More creepy faces I'm afraid. I tend to just let my pen wander, as I suppose most do when doodling. I'm interested in form and I suspect I'm always subconciously refining which shapes work well together.

Laputa

I love Miyazaki, just like everyone else. Here's a sculpt I did of the robot from 'Laputa' for a friend's birthday. It's made from Super Sculpy. I saw these models for sale on Ebay a while ago, but they were limited edition and massively expensive, so I thought I might as well make one myself. Not that I'm a cheapskate, mind you.

Megacities

I made this 3D zoetrope I a few years ago, but I've just been thinking about returning to the technique for a future project. Hang on and I'll upload a video of it soon.

More to follow!

The Astronomer's Sun

I spent my Summer in a shed in Ilkley. You can read about this unique and wonderful experience on a blog right here.
