For the birds.

Looking for birds-in-flight references tonight! Found some pretty rad videos, so I'm going to post them here--not just for those few who might be interested in bird/wing/flight studies, but also so that I can find the damn things again.


 


If anyone else has any helpful videos/photos/drawings of bird wings and flight motion, please do send me a link!

Some initial stuff.




Character concepts.

Let's start making a mess!



Well hello there!

My name is Sarah Anne Davis and I've created this blog to focus on the mad process of my final thesis film "Lovebirds", and the finishing out my fourth year at Sheridan College.

What can you expect from this blog? Well, pretty much everything I come up with along the journey. Creating a film is a lot of work. Creating a film by yourself is quite potentially an excellent way to chip away at a person's sanity, physical health, all the tunnels in the carpals, and who knows, learn something too? That is the hope!--er, the learning, not the slow painful deterioration. I will be posting concept work, character designs, thumbnails, sketches, paintings, story reels, animation tests, you name it. Except don't name it, because that might get complicated, and there's just no time for requests, you silly-billy.

With luck, the artwork you see here will eventually lead to a coherent and hopefully enjoyable animated film, and with a lot more luck (and I assume some measure of skill and dedication) that film will lead to a nice first job in this exciting industry I have chosen to infiltrate.

So take a seat. Relax. Stay tuned, and so forth! Stuff is about to get all real up in here.


Oh, and if you have any interest in finding out who I am (psshh, details), the following might be useful:
