YFE The Animated Adventures Ep 5

Be careful not to meditate too hard, or you might pass-out. 
Yes, I know, WTF?

During 2011, I was recruited by the Canadian band “Your Favorite Enemies” to produce a series of short animations. I was originally invited over with many possibilities up in the air for illustration work, but in the end I settled with time consuming task of animating short episodes which were presented during the band's live Ustream broadcasts, titled "The BlaBlaBla."

As we approach the 2nd anniversary of this missing episode, I have decided to do something with it and post it. It tells the story of Alex looking for locations in Japan to film for his next project while the rest of the band arrive later and do a bit of the usual tourist activities.

YFE - The Animated Adventures [playlist]

During 2011, I was working with the Canadian band Your Favorite Enemies. As well as providing some fun illustrations, I produced a series of short animations which were shown at the end of their live Ustream broadcast. They had a broadcast roughly once a month. I did a total of 5 animations for them over the course of 8 months. Each episode had a 3 or 4 week turnaround. 

I managed to create a playlist which skips to the segments where my animation is shown. I included some commentary from the band before and after the segments, but just in case there are any glitches (or you just get bored), you can easily skip to the next episode. 

I have included some promo images I did (for myself for fun) after the jump...

Beauty of the Beast (5 mins) - 2005
My final year college film.

Story Board - 13 images

The following images are what little of a storyboard I had to work with. A lot of the ideas shown below were cut out of the final product based on time and energy requiered to actually animate them.





note: The writing is by a tutor. The notes suggest an extra scene showing the angel actually getting her wings removed.








This may have been the biggest mistake - I did not actually have an ending planned after this page of the story board - I originally wanted a fight scene to end the film.

First Blog

I'm not really one for blogs, but hopefully this will be the start of a new trend. It might be the excuse I need to do and publish new artwork and animation.

Anyway, I have here some of my animation feats for your viewing pleasure.

...and I said 'pull yourself together!'
