Le Donk opening titles animation
« Thread Started on May 7, 2009, 9:57pm »
One day I was sitting at home eating my broccoli and stilton soup and then Shane rang asking if I could do some animated opening titles to his new film, Le Donk. After I'd regained consciousness I said, Yeah sure why not. Of course. Yup. Yes. I'd love too.

It went something like that...

Sometime later and I'm doing it. Sketching, drawing, scanning, Photoshopping and animating.

Here are a couple of stills of some of what I have done so far... ;)

It's amazing that just from seeing those two stills (combined with the experience of seeing your previous animation) I think I've got a good feel for how it will work already!

Very great!

There's a new Saul Bass in town! :)

Lookin good. I like how the stills don't reveal too much!

Can't wait for the film.

Thanks everyone!

That's right, Ryd! Keep 'em wanting more!

Saul Bass! Wow! Cheers Dave. ;D I love Saul Bass's stuff.

The animation I'm doing will be closer in feel to the Pink Panther films' opening title sequences. Mad 'n' whacky. And I hope funny too. Fingers crossed! Shane wanted me to go bonkers and I aim to please! ;D

This is an incredible opportunity, Jill. Beyond my tiny mind! ;D

If OK I might pop a few more stills as I go on. Nothing that'll give anything away of course! ;)

I like the Covent Graden one...hhhhmmmm. Like their Cauliflower Cheese soup too, but seems they've stopped making it. Why?

The stills are great ;) Keep going fella, and I'm sure Shane and the gang at Warp will pay you with an industrial vat of broccoli and Stilton.

Great to see.

Oooo! A nice bit of rotation I'm guessing!

That's one of the tiny little aspects of your 2009: A Space O.A.P. I really loved. The short shot of the hand rotating the release valve! Smooth!

Can't wait to see how this looks when it's all finished, looking good from those two stills!
