It was for the monthly challenge at animateclay.com. Did not have enough time to make a long entry but my main goal was to create something in a style I don't usually work in.<br />

Its been a long time since I've done anything stopmotion. I have been
getting inspired lately and getting the books of the shelf that I have
on the subject. I created this little test animation, its a bit rough
but the main aim was to get back into the feel of animating real life
puppets. <br />

home "scripting" the comic using thumbnails. I've tried writing a script
but in this case I have found thumbnailing preferable for this
project.<br />
<br />
Of course, I developed the story with a written
outline and from there used the thumbnails to visualize the story. Below
you can see a couple of pages with my thumbnails. I drew them quite
tiny and made notes beside them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8OINOGheky9nu5gm2UmvpBxVP6b_3Y0tHo2gQ9XIZHJNk3cQj9yVl-63UQW4cthbQEHo1_pnkAKe2O1sjfaZTf8rLxYWeOS73pKdKDgpytAbaKBDvNEDlbNCRolsZ1-SvXfhIF3Rugc/s1600/IMG_20120606_082606.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8OINOGheky9nu5gm2UmvpBxVP6b_3Y0tHo2gQ9XIZHJNk3cQj9yVl-63UQW4cthbQEHo1_pnkAKe2O1sjfaZTf8rLxYWeOS73pKdKDgpytAbaKBDvNEDlbNCRolsZ1-SvXfhIF3Rugc/s400/IMG_20120606_082606.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
From there I took the small thumbnails and actually started to draw larger roughs into a small notebook. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzKIHFMKPcEOAEZXj993N0Or37xQxihDAiDVn9Ey2enIzNJy2jMXwBWVsZ6QjpzEbzPVjvjhJMlQhuXS5LAMkaPYqjk1UIWgooosQNzQ784A3xseHk5fT6oORyH6RVJwSBtWDaNDaGG0/s1600/IMG_20120606_082718.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzKIHFMKPcEOAEZXj993N0Or37xQxihDAiDVn9Ey2enIzNJy2jMXwBWVsZ6QjpzEbzPVjvjhJMlQhuXS5LAMkaPYqjk1UIWgooosQNzQ784A3xseHk5fT6oORyH6RVJwSBtWDaNDaGG0/s400/IMG_20120606_082718.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In
the end I just found my self creating roughs directly into the
computer. I love drawing with pencil and paper and wish that I could
have done this project by hand and then colour them on the computer. The
reality is if I want to complete this project in a reasonable amount of
time, keeping it digital will speed up the process.<br />
<br />
I am
glad that I have so much to reference with the thumbnails and roughs
that I have already done, which is the majority of the story. Its good
to have this foundation to work on as it gives me a lot to consider
when finalizing a page. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't want to spoil my story too much so I've just given a
little example of my inked work and some colour work. Colouring is
turning out to be a big challenge and I have still not completely
decided what style of colouring suites my inked work. <br />
<br />

<br />
Hello
and welcome to my first official post on The Legend of Judiah Blog!
Yes, I am yet another artist with a background in animation developing
that passion for bringing their stories to life in the graphic novel
format. My graphic novel and this blog are both a work in progress and
it is this work in progress that I want to document. <br />
<br />
Making
a graphic novel is no easy task, as one soon finds out upon embarking
on such a project. For someone like me with my animation background it
seemed like a pretty simple plan, you have a story, you write the
script, you draw the thumbnails and best of all NO ANIMATING, just draw
the pictures! Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love animation and
animating, but somehow a graphic novel seems a lot more achievable than
even a short animation, which in some ways it is. That being said, just
as much thinking, planing, writing and re-writing goes into this process
as animation. This thinking and planning has been going on since 2007. <br />
<br />
It
is my hope that this blog will be a place for those who would like to
read independent graphic novels to come and check out my little
contribution to the scene as well as receive helpful comments and
suggestions. It is also my hope that others find inspiration for their
own work, just as I have through reading other peoples blogs and online
graphic novels.<br />
<br />
Most
of all this blog and graphic novel are my way of entering into the
online community of independent graphic novelists. It won't be perfect,
but I'll do my best...I really want to do this story.<br />
<br />
Currently,
I have started inking and colouring and will hopefully be uploading
pages shortly. One thing that I do want to do regularly is post about
where I am up to, what I'm up to, and what I am currently being inspired
by.<br />
<br />
I will leave you with a few sentences of what my
graphic novel is about. If anyone has any links to articles about
writing log lines and such, or even your own way of writing short
sentences about your comic I would love to read them.<br />
<br />
Here is what I have so far:<br />
<br />
<i>Small town sheep detective, Joshua Ramsees, is at his witts end
chasing around the notorius Clive Brothers on their biggest crime wave
yet. The trouble is they disappear without a trace! The only clues
Joshua can find lead to the unthinkable, wolves just don't exist! Will
Joshua find the answer in a story that most of the town only consider
legend? Is the Legend of Judiah their only hope?</i><br />
<br />
Well,
although I have not uploaded much as yet, I at least hope this little
introduction will spark your interest to follow my blog as it can get
quite lonely working on your graphic novel.<i> </i><br />
<br />
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully I'll see you again soon! Please come and visit the blog <a href="http://legendofjudiah.blogspot.com.au/">http://legendofjudiah.blogspot.com.au/</a><br />

<br />
I'd like to thank those who followed my blog throughout the last year of my degree. Alot has happened since my last post in December of last year. I have graduated, moved from my old town, and am now engaged. As a result there has been a rather large delay in videos and animations as I just don't have easy access to my equipment as once before.<br />
<br />
I've decided to finish up this blog since I intended for it to cooencide with my studies at uni which are no over.<br />
<br />
I'll be starting a new blog very soon and I hope to keep it far more active than this one. I have posted my final animation piece for my degree below.<br />
<br />
Thanks for you comments and if you haven't already you can wonder over to my youtube channel <a href="http://www.youtube.com/jazzimation">www.youtube.com/jazzimation</a><br />
Happy animating,<br />
Jason Rodgers<br />

I've been studying full-time now for 5 years gaining qualifications in music and animation. Now I'm kinda having a little holiday relaxin in this summer weather (it is summer here in Australia haha). One of the new things that I have introduced into my life at the moment is the wonderful creature known as the ferret! I absolutely love them and bought myself 3 of them last week :) They are such inspiring little animals. A lot of fun and a lot of WORK! I thought I'd post a couple pictures of my little fuzzies for you to see :)<br />
<br />
This is oscar and the one I'm holidng is a sweet little female that I have not named yet :)<br />

This is an animation I did last year for 2D class, it was a fun experiment. This year I'll be working on a major project which will be my last project to graduate. I'm thinking of doing another animation similar to this style perhaps. We are at the project proposal stage of the animation, so I wont be starting production until next semester. Lots of work ahead :S<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBTT_NVQIYA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBTT_NVQIYA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Jason Rodgershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17495066380003484645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696340826044074439.post-67391110619107011092009-04-07T20:47:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:51:05.346-07:00I want one!Found this video on youtube a few weeks ago.
