Here are a few of my life drawings from 4th year. I do not use a sketch book as I feel restricted in them, instead I use A3 sizes toned paper. My medium that I use on most occasions are charcoal and conte. The charcoal helps me to create free flowing lines and the conte is to sharpen and define some of the bodies muscles.

Sc10: A Peculiar Story.

The light is bright however this is because of the low quality for the interest. I had difficulties in using the same layout for scene sc10 to sc11. I should have sc11 up soon. One week left of this project so I wont be uploading much work from now til then.

Ringmaster in A Peculiar Story from michael parks on Vimeo.

The Circus scene for A Peculiar story. The animation of the Ringmaster is to be in the style of a puppet with limited animation involved. It is the first time I have tried animating in After Effects, found it easier than I had imagined.

Testing a few things out.

Self Writing from michael parks on Vimeo.

A quick test of self writing in After Effects. Could be used for the title sequence for A Peculiar Story. Again I keep forgetting to tell After Effects how long I want the file to be, I dont know why I think 30 seconds is a good idea.

Sc23: A Peculiar Story from michael parks on Vimeo.

I have found Vimeo. It has a much better quality.

I have spent an hour trying to finish this scene for A Peculiar Story. It is our first scene that has been composited. I am getting the hang of After Effects now, rather enjoying it. The shadows are the biggest problem but they are worth it.
