Work I did for jobs that didnt get me the job part 3

This first piece was for a small gaming company. Before the interview, they wanted to see what I can do their brief, so I spent some time creating these two, sent it to them but never got a reply.

These images were for a music video pitch. I worked with my friend, Joe Lea, to produce a really good treatment, but after a week things weren't looking to good. It was to be a noir type narrative with comic visuals, where the heroine goes on a crusade to reclaim her stolen records. Ending with a climatic battle in a room of mirrors, like Enter the Dragon, but more frenetic. However it was not to be :,(

Knock Knock

I did this comic last year, written by Ben Jennings and Christopher Godfree, and art by me.

I had a couple of weeks to draw, ink and colour it, though the layout was done, it was a push to get this finished.

Homemade toothpick crossbow

This is what boredom created, a toothpick crossbow. It was made from items I found around the house. About 15 ice lollie sticks, giant paper clip, small paper clip, fishing line, pen spring, toothpick, scalpel top and hair clip. The bow was the hardest part to souce, I was going to use a thin knife and shape it into the bow but then I found a junior hack saw blade, which looked good but still needed to be filed down. As I was searching the house I came across a hairclip and realised it was the perfect bow. Stick together with lots of glue and voila, a totally pointless and complete waste of time toothpick crossbow.

Avian Animations

This is what I'm working on at the moment. Like the dog animations, it's for an app aimed at toddlers. Again these were animated with After Effects, and this time round a lot easier to animate aswell.

Dog animations

Here are some animations for an app I'm working on. It's aimed at toddlers, when you tap on the dog, the dog will do something. I've animated with After Effects before, but this was the first with characters.

Work I did for jobs that didnt get me the job part 2

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought I might start with a downer. I went for a job interview recently at an e-card studio (it did not go well, I ended up breaking the interviewers pencil) and they asked me to produce 2 animations as a test.
The first was to take apart an image that was provided and animate it, no probs, it took me a few hours to finish. But the second was a toughie, an e-card about engagement. I'm not the most romantic or sentimental of people, so this was bit of a stretch for me and maybe it shows in the finished animation. Again this took a few hours to do, illustrated with Illustrator and animated with After Effects.
A few days later, I got a rejection email and was kindly offered to give some feedback, which I cowardly ignored.

WASH YOUR HANDS!
