<br />
Produced by Mediaworks Foundation, with animation created by students from Animation College. The treatment was given to us by Mediaworks, and I served as the animation director on the project, but I also did a lot of the backgrounds and all the compositing for the animated segments. I had some help from some of the other Animation College staff as well.<br />

<br />The inspiration for this film came from working on the 48hour film challenge. I find the creative restrictions highly motivating, and so I decided to put myself through similar conditions. I gave myself 4 weekends (although I ended up doing 6) and asked a couple of friends to write a brief for me. The details of the brief were as follows:<br /><br /><i>The theme is Regret.<br /><br />The protagonist is Jane Jay, whose power animal is a gibbon.<br /><br />It must contain the prop: a stamp collection.<br /><br />Use three seconds of stop-motion animation.<br /><br />Choose ONE of the following sequences:<br /><br />• Origin Story<br />• A Chase<br />• Training Montage<br />• Twist Reveal</i>Dane Jacobshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06832055247143027651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587711561734662991.post-65730775310198089852016-07-03T15:21:00.001+12:002016-07-03T15:24:10.908+12:00Meatloaf<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Made for the 48Hours 2015 competition. We won the award for Best Animation at the grand final.<br />
<br />
As per the rules of the competition, we had to include a match cut or match dissolve, a character named Harper Harrison (who is thoughtless), bread, the line of dialogue; "oh really" and our film's genre was "horror."<br />
<br />
I also made a "director's cut" a few months after the competition. The main differences are in the sound, the opening title and closing credits, but there's a few other adjustments here and there in the main film as well:<br />

<br />
<br />This was basically a few small experiments wrapped into one project from 2014. My goals were: <br /><ol>
<li>To create a film in my spare time in 3 months. </li>
<li>To combine 3D rendered environments with 2D animated characters. </li>
<li>To achieve a sense of "slow-motion" in the animation.</li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />I placed 10th in the competition, which was pretty sweet. It's animated in Flash, the background done in Photoshop, composited in After Effects.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A while ago I released an album that I worked on in bits for nearly 5 years. You can find that album on my bandcamp page, <a href="http://danejacobs.bandcamp.com/album/yellower-days">here.</a><br /><br />It would probably be classed as ambient, but it's very densely layered with big epic melodies, and has lots of glitchy textures. If that sounds like your kind of thing, I hope you check it out, as it is something I am very proud of.<br /><br />I also did the artwork for it, which I'm also pretty happy with. There's individual track art as well, which of course I did myself as well.</span>Dane Jacobshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06832055247143027651noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587711561734662991.post-41620090140295445202012-03-30T20:37:00.001+13:002016-07-03T15:09:13.171+12:00Entropy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This film started as my final year project while I was studying animation, but I spent an extra year working on it with help from my good friend Jeremy Hay. It was completed in February 2008, and near the end of 2011, it became quite popular on Youtube (if you are one of the millions who watched it and enjoyed it and shared it with others, thank you so much, you are awesome).</span></div>
