James Hunter's Intro SequenceJames's Intro Sequence (in sketch lines!) is available for your viewing over on my Youtube account, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IED8ZOGzpXc&feature=youtu.be
It's sound-effect-less, music-less, and not cleaned up at all, but I will be uploading each scene as I complete them so that the voice actors can see how their work is coming together. Perhaps it's also interesting for people interested in some of the processes of animation, as well.

Showreel 2012-2013Hey folks,
I've just uploaded a new showreel showcasing some of the better Honour Amongst Thieves work and progression to my Youtube account, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYcI_6mu9FM&feature=youtu.be I've been sick all week so progress on the actual animation has been slow, but you can get a sneak-peek of Louis's scene there.

Louis, Louis, Always Whining ..."I'm not whining, I'm complaining. Do you want to hear whining?" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?featurelayer_detailpage&v=l8r7ZNrKxFI&listLv0aJNOpaJrotahQ1swwUQd8wjr9TfWVQ#t=450s
Okay, no, on a more serious note: I've just had to re-draw the last two days' worth of frames and in-betweens for Louis because I realized I'd been drawing him "wrong".
Throughout Louis's character progress he's undergone several changes, most based on my own personal decisions, but many were also due to feedback from you guys here on DA, and I realise now that the "Louis is too skinny I don't like it" comments got to me more than they should have.
What these people don't realize is that Louis is ridiculously tall and skinny on purpose: he's a cartoon. He's not meant to be realistic, he's meant to be an exaggeration of the flamboyant gay stereotype, the skinny French stereotype, and his design reflects his wiles and cunning when it comes to out-witting his opponents. Out of al

ADAM LAMBERT LIVE IN SINGAPOREI pride myself on being an "old soul" when it comes to music taste. As a kid I was raised on classical greats like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, and the list goes on by my dad. My mom weaned my sister and I on goldies like ABBA, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, and Boney M. I listen to copious amounts of 70s and 80s bands that make me look like a bit of a dweeb to my classmates, ranging anywhere from Alice Cooper, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Joan Jett through to Adam Ant and Dead or Alive. As a result, I'm heavily biased against what I call the "mainstream crap on MTV".
But just give me this one thing. Just this one.
Because I am a complete and total Glambert.

When I found out Adam Lambert was coming to Singapore March 8th I was both excited and conflicted, because I had already bought tickets to see Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin) live on the 21st this month as well. But I'm glad I caved into my te

Honour Amongst Thieves ... Podcast?Let it never be said that Sak doesn't deliver!
Last Sunday I had a Skype meeting with Brendan Julian and Richard Johnston - the voices of Louis and James respectively from my upcoming animation - to discuss the finer points of Honour Amongst Thieves. As promised, I managed to record it and so without further ado, I present to you:
Honour Amongst Thieves
The Podcast

I was delighted to see the two of them got along so well, because their character interaction promises to be great this way. Unfortunately, Santiago's VA was unable to make it due to timezones, but perhaps sometime in future we'll be able to repeat this again plus one Spaniard!
Enjoy!

About My School?

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 7, 2013, 3:56 AM

I frequently get questions about LASALLE College of the Arts, where I study. Unfortunately I don't have time to go into tremendous detail when answering them, as much as I'd like to explain more what it's like. But maybe these can give you a glimpse:

I don't know why my face looks so fat in the second one. Where did my jawline go?

My school has 2D animation classes but the main focus is more on 3D animation and modeling...

~Josumi-kun Mar 9, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Awesome

~Addictedto-Life Mar 8, 2013

Is the 2D/3D animation program different then the one they offer in Vancouver? What made you go to Singapore if it is the same?? I'm thinking about applying sometime this month but I want to make sure I'm getting the same kind of deal. How long is your course? The one in Vancouver is for a year, just one semester after the other for a total of 3. But I noticed you said you have a 3 year scholarship? Are you taking other courses as well then besides the animation?

Sorry I know I just bombarded you with questions. If you have time for any of them I would really appreciate it : )

*Canadian-Rainwater Mar 11, 2013 Student Filmographer

I don't know what program you're talking about. The place I went to in Vancouver was UVic and the art courses were severely lacking that spark for me.

~Addictedto-Life Mar 11, 2013

Oh sorry I guess that Sounded confusing. LaSalle has a location in Vancouver called LaSalle College International that offers the 2D/ 3D Animation course. I was wondering what made you go to Singapore since it's offered in Canada? And are you taking other course since you mentioned you have a 3 year scholarship? Because the course offered in Vancouver, if it's the same, is 3 Semesters for a total of 1 year. I'm assuming your project Honour Amongst Thieves is from that particular 2D/ 3D Animation course? I'm asking about it because I want to apply and do what you're doing in life with the animation and character designs and such and it's nice to hear from someone who's been in the program! ; )

*Canadian-Rainwater Mar 12, 2013 Student Filmographer

I don't know much about LaSalle in Canada, I'm not even sure it's the same LASALLE, since we were specifically instructed that the LASALLE here is spelled all-caps, and not "LaSalle". I'm in Singapore because I've lived here for the past eight years and I'm a PR - permanent resident, despite holding a Canadian passport. I am more comfortable with the environment, the people, and the location. I can't speak for the course at LaSalle, but I am very happy with what I've been taught so far at the animation course here. It's focus is not just on animation, but on storytelling, and it hones all sorts of other useful skills in the industry such as life drawing, landscape and perspective, and colour theory, and we're exposed to different mediums such as stop-motion, whiteboard animation, 3D, 2D, lightboxes and digital, the whole shebang.

I can't imagine cramming these last three years into one. I feel like you must lose something.

~Addictedto-Life Mar 12, 2013

Hrm interesting. I didn't think there would be two different schools with the same name that offer the same things ha. Silly me. [link] This is what I have been looking at any rate. It probably doesn't offer everything you've done if you've been at it for three years for sure but there's no way in hell I can get to Singapore let alone afford it so I'll have to settle for this.

I didn't realize you've lived there so long, sorry for the assumptions!

Thanks for answering : D

~Addictedto-Life Mar 15, 2013

I figured it out. The College in Vancouver I was talking about is a sister school to yours in Singapore. It took some digging around but I managed to find it! That's why they're different but have similarities! I also found out more about the program and it's a condensed course but you graduate with a Diploma in 2D/3D animation all the same : ) Also you don't get to do as many things as your course offers but the fundamentals are there at the very least.

I just really want to thank you for... Just existing I guess! If I wasn't so inspired by your work I wouldn't have made these first steps to get into this program and I just got accepted yesterday and couldn't be more excited. So thanks <3
