More bits from the animation I'm working on at the moment at the RCA.

Finally, something moving.

A quick style frame from the animated short I'm working on at the moment at the RCA. Seems to be heading in roughly the direction I want it to.

I'm taking part in a Brainbelt exhibition in Dublin again, running at the moment in Filmbase on Curved Street. My poster is for Blancanieves, a Spanish silence black and white take on Snow White.

Brainbelt Illustration Collective have teamed up with this year’s Jameson Dublin International Film Festival to bring you a diverse range of exciting illustrations of movie posters, classic lines and movie icons.

All inspired from a hand picked selection of films from this year's festival line-up. Keep your eyes peeled, as they will be dotted around a variety of participating cinema lobbies, box offices and bars.

Pieces are limited edition prints from contributing illustrators:
Emma Rowe
Stephen McNally
Alan Dunne
Ultan Courtney
Michelle Cunningham
Gareth Teggin
Jamie Murphy
John Corrigan
Peter Dawson

See the entire collection at JDIFF HQ, Filmbase, Curved Street, Temple Bar!

A quick test of a technique for my first year film at the RCA. Luiz suggested it might work well as a loop, so I threw in some extra frames on the end.

Disembodying Voice from Stephen McNally on Vimeo. The results of a quick workshop at the Royal College of Art. It's a bit all over the place, trying to blend CG and 2D techniques, with smears and dry brush effects for motion blur, etc.

Happy Saturnalia!

Continuing last year's pagan themed Christmas (Odin), this year I'm looking at Saturn / Cronos, the Titan from whom we have received this holiday. Based on the Goya painting: 

And I was testing out some photoshop animation / animated GIF stuff.
