Episode XV! A film taking place at school naturally requires painting a lot of school benches.
Snowy Bench | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #14
While it may look simple, it proved quite difficult to paint compositions with snow. And though the result may look cold, this particular background was painted while it was 37°C outside.
New Animation Showreel
It’s been a while since our last one, so we cobbled together a showreel of our recent animation work. Enjoy!
Electric Fence | ‘Matte! Nande?’ (‘Wait! Why?’) Gags #02
Always check the type of fence you’re about to pee against!
Dreary Cityscape | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #13
A cityscape painted in greyscale to convey the dreary state of a main character’s mind.
This background was painted for the graduation film of our former intern. Check out her youtube channel for more updates!
Snake Alley Festival of Film
Chalkboard | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #12
This composition was drawn in a threatening perspective, heightening the drama of the shot. We pushed this even further by designing the chalkboard to reach the ceiling, so you’d need a ladder to write at the top of it.
Roof Tiles | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #11
In this episode, we focus on creating textures for roof tiles and add growth of moss to give a little green variety throughout.
Sunset Rooftop | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #10
Here, we painted just a hint of sunshine hitting the darkened rooftop, slightly teasing what’s behind it and hinting what the bird wants our main character to see.
Bathroom | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #09
To emphasize the drama of the scene it was used in, we wanted to give this bathroom a cold, sterile and slightly unsettling look. That’s why everything looks clean and symmetrical, and why we designed the faucets to have a strange, yet elegant shape.
