Macbeth Theater Poster

A minimalist approach to a Macbeth theater poster in an attempt to convey as much about the play in as little detail as possible. The focus of the piece was to characterise Macbeth's pursuit of the crown. The three points depict daggers, representing the three sets of murder Macbeth commits to become king. The watery blood effect alludes to Lady Macbeth going mad, not being able to wash imagined blood from her hands and the symbolised guilt this represents. It was produced using different density's of ink and water and digitally cut out.

Circus Grimm Character Showreel

Here's a re-edited version of my Circus Grimm film. It's a much pacier showreel of all the character animation.

No new post today, I did however want to archive a large body of work from a past project on this new blog and share it with you. Although a few years old, my final university stop-motion project is still something I worked incredibly hard at putting together, and ultimately informed my decision in wanting to follow a career in the world of stop-motion animation. The project focused on the
pre-production side of an animation treatment. If you would like to look at the project in further detail, there is an updated version of the production bible (omitting some of the secondary research for accessibility) available to view. Just click on the poster above to open it up and scroll through.

Here are a few of the Puppets created for the project.

                          

Inverness Graphic

To commemorate my recent trip to Inverness, I've rustled up a little graphic depicting the cities defining buildings and features in a minimalist style.

From left to right it includes; Cromwell's Tower, Greig Bridge, The free church of Scotland, Inverness Castle, Loch Ness and the surrounding highlands.

A Trip To The Highlands

Recently took a trip to the beautiful city of Inverness in the highlands of Scotland. I very much enjoyed all the delights it had to offer, taking in the sights of Loch Ness, whisky tasting and caleigh dancing. I don't pretend to be a professional photographer in any way but I love the medium and taking snaps (particularly panoramics as you can see). Here are a few of the favorites that I wanted to share.
