Showreel
The design used for the intro of my show reel, which takes clips from my 1 second animations, and my second and third year projects. It’s been difficult to find old things I created due to the nature of the cloud system on the university computers, but I have used what I can find to create a 1 minute film showcasing what I can do.

Poster and DVD
This is the DVD cover for the animation (The poster uses the front cover of the case). I kept the colours simple so that the characters stand out on the front, I used stills to create the background and make it more interesting than just a blank blue space.

Reflection of Project
Overall, I feel satisfied with how the project has turned out. While the overall style does lack polish, people watching have been amused by the humour, art style and sound effects, making me feel pleased with how it turned out in the end. People have said that Stink’s voice is still a little hard to hear, which means I needed to lower the pitch just a little more, but I lacked the time to do so.

Premier Pro Final Designs
This is a shot of me putting everything together in Premier Pro and adding the sound effects and music that I acquired. Test audiences have found the animation amusing, and so things are looking good. The sound effects add to the scene, and emphasise the over the top feel of the whole production. This animation will be published both compressed and uncompressed so it can be put on a DVD.

Intro and Credits
The background used for the intro and credits of the animation. The title card and credits are placed on top of this, while in the intro, Stink and Twit slowly fade in and zoom in, similar to old cartoon intros that did the same with their characters.

Second Half Scenes
Shots showing the final scenes that I needed for the animation, which I created in bulk. There are a lot of scenes that require an outlandish look and feel to them, such as the close up of Stink flying through the air, and him being pulled out the bin after being smashed and mangled. With these completed, I just need to put them together in Premier Pro, as well as add an intro and credits.

Angry Scenes
Shots showing the scenes where Stink loses his temper, showing close ups of his face in detail, and also establishing that no matter how angry and big he makes himself, Stink is still a small character in the scene. The shot of the dead grandma also helps to increase the gross out factor and the dark humour.

Starting Scenes
Shots showing work on the first few shots, establishing the situation and the main character.The colour pallet was kept drab and blue to show the run down feeling of the location. Stink’s brown colour helps him stand out from this.

Action Plan
All through my three years studying Animation at university, I have already known that my main passion is in drawing, comics and character design. These three years have helped me improve and refine the initial skills that I had, as well as in teaching myself to work with different equipment and programs for drawing and animation. This interest in will no doubt persist after the course is complete, and I am hoping to apply this creative passion into a future career, even if it is one that does not necessarily involve animation.
In my action plan, I mentioned possibilities of joining professional animation studios in my local area, of which there are many. I also mentioned about animating for online websites such as Youtube. Along with this, I mentioned an interest in doing web comics or graphic novels, which have their own connection with animation.

Essay
An essay was required that needed to included 4 animators that had visited the university, as well as 2 animators of my choice. Pete Bishop, Candy Guard, The Brothers Mcleod and Barry Purves were the speakers used for the essay. My two selected speakers were Chris Voigt, known online as Sexual Lobster, and Danny Antonucci, creator of Ed, Edd and Eddy.
Danny Antonucci is a Canadian animator and creator of the Cartoon Network animated series Ed, Edd and Eddy, as well as the animated movie Lupo the Butcher. He is the founder of A.K.A Cartoon, in which Ed, Edd and Eddy was created, along with the series The Brothers Grunt, in which 45 episodes were created. Before working on Ed, Edd and Eddy, Antonucci assisted in the the production of various animated shows created by Hanna-Barbara, such as The Flinstones Comedy Hour and Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo. Antonucci’s style is extremely cartoony, with the style of Ed, Edd and Eddy in particular being influenced by classic cartoons from the 1940s. Ed, Edd and Eddy is Antonucci’s best known piece of work aside from Lupo the Butcher, and stars 3 adolescent boys and their attempts to scam money out of the other kids in their cul de sac, as well as some episodes dealing with wacky and unusual plots. This series is a good summary of Antonucci’s writing and visual style, of a mundane environment transformed into an almost insane world simply through how it is portrayed and stylisted.
Chris Voigt is an Australian online animator and webcomic artist who primarily uses Flash for his creations, and has been animating since 2005. He has both a Youtube and Newgrounds account, using the name Sexual Lobster to submit his animations on the internet. Voigt’s work is characterised by its absurd style and characters, who make recurring appearances in the animations, some of which are ongoing series with continuing stories. Some of the more popular characters in Voigt’s animation include Fernando, the ‘Manwhore’, in which the animated shorts with him in feature his bizarre adventures with equally bizarre characters that surround him, in attempts to create money for the business he works in with his friends. Other characters include “Raptor Jesus”, who is a reptilian version of Jesus Christ who occasionally features in animated shorts, as well as an animated version of Voigt himself, who writes and animates himself to appear somewhat unhinged, giving himself a grovelled voice.

Music and Sound Work
For my piece, the music and sound are taken from fair use sources. Music is taken from the APM Music library, which includes a variety of sources and genres, and is the music that is used for Ren and Stimpy, making it a perfect fit for my film as it uses the same style. Sound effects are taken from free packs presented online, and are used in a variety of online films due to their free use, most commonly in silly cartoony films to fit the style. Again, this is a perfect fit for mine.

Voice Work Advice
Work has finished on the voice acting for the film; both Stink and the owner of Twit have speaking roles. Stink’s voice has been pitched up in order to fit his character and make him more squeaky. I tested these voices with my tutor, and he advised that Stink’s voice were to be less pitched in order to be more understandable; I will need to find a good balance in order to keep his voice fitting, and also understandable.

Loony Tunes style of writing
When writing the script, I attempted to recreate the style that was used in the old Loony Tunes cartoons. Despite containing a lot of slapstick, and colourful lively characters there’s actually a lot of dialogue in many shorts to help establish situations and character motives or conflicts. My animation is also dialogue heavily, while also containing enough slapstick and funny animations to balance it out. Thus, dialogue is present in roughly 70% of the overall cartoon, although I have made sure there is enough going on during these speaking scenes so it isn’t just dialogue, as that would bore the viewer with the lack of activity and too much exposition.

Candy Guard
Candy Guard is a British animator, author and illustrator. Her most well known piece of work is the animated comedy Pond Life, which ran from 1996 to 2000 (Although a pilot episode was first created in 1992). Along with Pond Life, Guard has created many short films either as personal projects, or for companies; an example would be her short segments for “Target Breast Cancer”, which were used to quickly showcase and inform about purchasing and wearing the Target Breast Cancer symbol for charity. Guard has also partaken in writing multiple books, drawing the artwork for each as well. These include “Turning to Jelly” and “Just a little disco on an open-top bus”, and combine Guard’s unique artistic style with her own blend of writing, basing her stories off her own experiences in life.

Ed Edd and Eddy Background research
The colouring and line art of my backgrounds was based on the ones used in Ed, Edd and Eddy, an original Cartoon Network show. The cartoon tried different styles in its colouring, and I based my colouring on those seen in earlier seasons. Important or large objects in the backgrounds were coloured separately, while smaller and unimportant background objects tended to be coloured the same colour as the skies or walls behind them. Along with this, blobs of colour were used for skies and walls that took a large part of the shot, in order to give them more variety and have less empty looking space.
I attempted to emulate this into my own backgrounds, while still keeping something of my own style.

Coloured Backgrounds
Coloured and completed backgrounds for the animation. I have tried to keep separate pallets for the two houses in the movie. The neglected house uses drab blues and greys to convey the run down feeling, while the nicer house uses warm oranges to convey a sense of comfort.
