and again..

Waterlollies
As promised, here's an updated graph of Waterlollies progress.



almost 2/3 finished. Nathan McCree will start on Part B's music soon and the scripted portion of the movie is being worked on by the best people in the business (in my opinion). I'm warming to the idea of bringing in experts in various fields to help complement my future work.. getting it all done by July 22 is still a bit daunting but even if we're a little late, I've a feeling it'll all be good when it's released.

SCP
So what was the freelance job that kept me off Waterlollies for month?
It's a karaoke-style singalong for kids on the Kelloggs Rice Krispies website. You can see the finished product: click here.







The ad agency is Biggs|Gilmore. Working closely with their team throughout the entire project I created the animation from the ground up, i.e. design, storyboard, animation, effects, to go with the song.







All throughout the project, this was a very satisfying assignment and the people at B|G were a dream to work with :D

And one other..
Another job that I worked on before this that I'm not sure I can show yet, but it was another really enjoyable project for a well-recognised company. When they asked me to work on it they said they'd need something "similar quality to the 30 daily shorts". That got me interested right away cos the 30 days was probably the most fun I've ever had animating.

Anyway, the project came and went and I thoroughly enjoyed it and the people were great to work for. I can't wait to show it here sometime in the future. I'll post here when I have the link.

Until next update, gnight!

The animation is great, as always. I luff the cat :)

But the kids looked kinda demented to me... especially when they laughed... freaked me out. Well I'm not Kelogg's target audience anyway :)

Well, even if the song is totally r-tarded, i just love the video. Well, the animating is great, but the subject sucks, but still you make it lovable (is that a word?).
And, i think i share this opinion among everybody else that's ever seen your work: I'll wet my pants wen waterlollies comes out.

There were some really random bits in that song. Like when he just randomly listed off the member of The Beatles? It was good though, silly, but good.

Love the animation, Adam! I love the way the cow dances that made me laugh!

If I had just seen that (don't know why I'd go on a site like that) without getting a link from you, I'd probably guess it was your animation anyway! Your stuff always impresses me!

Can't wait for Waterlollies, even though I have to!

Great job as always!

I just watched the SCP "box of fun" anim. What awesome fun! And how amazing to see your unmistakable style represented in something that millions are going to see...

Thumbs up

Ha Ha. Thats all I needed, another piece of music I'll never get out of my head.

I got this hippy friend who'd probibly call you a big sell out, but feck him, chances are it;s stuff like this that's paying your bills and putting bread in your bread bin, and allowing you to work on your own stuff to for that matter.

bring on waterlollies.
