Writing task one.

The animation that I am writing a review on is "thought of you" by Ryan Woodward.
This artist is a family man who has some pretty cool commission and partnership work under his belt including doing a Google doodle for a Dancer called Martha Graham who is very famous, he explains his processes of getting the final animation and talks about how he learns her movements with proper research.

He has a wide range of skills that he has picked up with different jobs and explains that this is because of the change within the industry and because he likes to learn new things, these job roles include, Traditional EFX animator, Digital EFX animator, Traditional character animation, Animatic artist, Compositor, Concept Designer, Character Designer, Concept animator, Storyboard Artist.

He's partnered with Walt Disney picture, Marvel, Universal studios, Dreamworks, Sony pictures, Cartoon network and more.

These are some of his story board work from his website at: http://ryanwoodwardart.com/studiowork/storyboards/

 
 

The animation I'm choosing to review is "Thought of you", because it is a very interesting and simplistic piece. It is a piece about two people and they are dancing.

It's very simplistic, the video has no real backdrop, just a colour, it's quite an interesting brown, it sort of looks like tea stained envelopes and the animation itself of the two people are very simple with a sketched style of animation with no real details, even the drawings of the people are quite hollow.
I like this because it's mystic in some aspects and fits with the animation itself being quite whimsical.
