The magician prt2

After having the pitch which I won by one vote... i decided to give up my pitch idea, simply because it was too complicated. Maybe another day when my CGI skills are more up to scratch... regardless I have some of the other concept art and storyboard.

The Magician

The Magician is an idea i will pitch next week, simply a magician performs a trick, and brings up a woman from the audience and then puts her into a "magic box" and then she suffers a quick and painless death...beautiful. Hopefully I can create this in Maya, thus the simplicity of the figure.
Here are some concept art for the magician himself:

Design For animation, Guiness World Cup ad

We have began a new module, Design for animation, all about pre-production throughout animation. The brief is to create a 20 second Ident for a chosen sport for the Olympics 2012, held in London. I got football, which is a very strong subject for me so would be quite interesting for me to explore. Here is a video for the 2007 Rugby Guiness world cup ad. Very nice character design and style, and brilliant camera shots to catch the slick movement and the gameplay. It would be similar to what I would want for my Football Olympic Ident.
