Stoned Fox Part 2

Part one: http://timbo400.blogspot.com/2011/08/stoned-fox.html

After the test shot of the stoned fox, I've re-done the background properly and produced a new more uniform wallpaper like finish. Using the same wallpaper and gouache over 2 sessions I've ended up with this:

Going to test it a second time with the D7000 and a new camera to test it is the Canon 5D MkII since I'd like to shoot it 1080p @25P.



Some more updates of sketches, here pictured is Stuart Bailey, one of my teachers and Phillippa Griffin, a fellow colleague at SCA. Both inspirations to improve my work.

Also I'd like to announce the winner of my little posting competition is David Lee. I used a random number generator to choose a number between 1 and 4 (Each number representing the posters respectively) Congratulations David Lee! Ha! Rigged son I tell you! Mafia auto-wins also!

Stoned Fox

My room smells of ashtray. But it was definitely worth it after William Suen helped me brainstorm for a scene on how to improve it and what not. At the moment this is only a test but it's just to show you I've progressed.

At my current rate I doubt it would be finished in time for the TropFest deadline but I'll be happy when it's done :)

My last significant post on it was in February.

I'd like to thank William Humga Suen and Grace Tan for all the help and brainstorming even if this is just a test shot, it's better than nothing!

Fox Meets Logo

Totally Mind Blanked.. feeling really geometrical.

Wanted to draw a fox... and somehow this came out... might be my logo for the film...

Shattered Fractals

Well after a long week, I've come to conclude a few big future steps in my life. Now that I know my ultimate goals and focuses I know what to try my hardest in and what to do :) A lot is off my shoulders and I guess I'm just maturing, maybe it was the big two-one that got me all shook!

Fixed my car again today, replaced the broken mirror that some idiot broke after I parked it overnight at Eastwood. Here's the damage that got removed...



Also got my new Firewire 800 portable hard drive in the mail, it was so cheap! $50 for a 500GB FW800! And also got my first doll accessory for my film :)



It's next to the watch to show you the sizing of it, it's so detailed! Cannot wait to see it all together! While I'm showing you my watch, here's my favourite watch at the moment.



The O clock is a watch that has a removable clock face and interchangeable rubber bands, purchased from Capsule for $50, once you buy the face all you need to do is spend $20 for the bands! It's so good and flexible (Both rubberwise and fashion wise!) and while we're on the fractal roll, my boy Jay is spinning the wheels of steel this Thursday at Soundbombing, so come support your local and meet me and the boys from Capsule and many more at Soundbombing!

TRIPLE THREAT!

Ka-boom! How else to end a drought than with a triple post?! Yeah, you know it, timbo has his days but it's becoming more often. Don't worry he's fighting back with willpower now! We visited him and asked him a few questions.

Timbo: So what's been happening as of recently? 
Timbo: Well, I've been settling at home and I also been creating a few things but other than that I went to TROPFEST 2011!

T: You make it sound like a crazy event, was it fun? What did you think of it?
T: Well it was pretty much, wait, I've never been to Trop Fest but rather enjoyed it every year when I got it with the newspaper so this was quite new for me. It was good to watch it on the grass on picnic rugs eating and drinking outside, definitely beats the couch for something new, I'd do the same for 2012!

T: Thanks Timbo, I guess that's all we have for today but I'll leave you off for some photos he took while on Tropfest 2011!

Creative Impulses

I'm one that procrastinates to the max. Failing Uni seems like the norm for me and cruising seems like a chore now. But through my lowest of lows and highest of 'highs' there lays a creative spark inside me that comes out from time to time. In the last 2 months I've been scheming a short-film of some sort and also to make a set for someone special (That someone special knows who they are :3) so through the last couple of  weeks I've come up with the idea to make a mini-model set. It's not-yet complete but very close. I originally had paper-cut-outs but I've abadoned that idea for aesthetic reasons.

I'm on my way to creating a storyboard, finding a director/cinematographer and someone to help me with narration/sound. It's going to be pretty tight-knit and I'll post WIP when I can but hopefully it'll be done within a couple of months :)

The set so far:

Everything is hand made or from train model sets. I hope this turns out well, time to hit the drawing boards!

Been seeing JM, Raymond, Steven a bit more and also Leanne! It's good to see you guys again!
