Featured Project: Unknown Sender by Sophie Spalding

13 May 2021 /

We’re so excited to share this piece by Sophie Spalding, one of our year 2 DMID students.  There are definite echoes in this story of the fact that a lot of us have been alone more than usual this year and looking for a little contact – human or otherwise.   The pre-production images below show Sophie’s character designs and an excerpt from her storyboards – finishing these to a high standard meant the story was clearly mapped out ahead of beginning the animation process.  We hope she makes a second episode so we can see what the characters get up to next….

This work was created for the 2D animation module run by Fiona Stewart and Andrew McKelvey.  Thanks to Sophie for allowing us to feature her work.

Featured Project: Puddles by Alynna Aquino

13 May 2021 /

We love the colours and hand-drawn style of year 2 DMID student Alynna Aquino’s “Puddles”,  she has really captured the spirit of a Scottish autumn day after the rain.    We’ve included some of her beautiful concept work below.  You can see more of Alynna’s work in her portfolio here – https://alynnaaquino.weebly.com/

Featured Project: Stupid House by Jonathan Wood

13 May 2021 /

Our year 2 DMID student, Jonathan Wood, has created this animation that explores what “smart” home gadgets might get up to when we are out.   We loved the way he managed to get personality into the inanimate objects- as you can see from some of his character and background designs below.  You can see more of Jonathan’s work on his portfolio – www.jonathanwood.uk

Featured Project: The Windmill by Álvaro de la Torre Lázaro

13 May 2021 /

This animated short is by year 2 student Álvaro de la Torre Lázaro, who is studying Marketing with Digital Media.   We loved the soft colours and use of texture as well as they way characters have so much expression even although they are made of simple shapes – as you can see in the storyboards and character concept below.
