FILM!

Graduate Film: Taranu from Ben Thomas on Vimeo.

Here's the short film I finished in April for my final year at Sheridan! Maybe I'll make a post about its production in the future... until then, enjoy!

FILM COMPLETE!

Taranu, and my final year at Sheridan, is now finished! If you want to see some of the development work I did for it, please point your cursor to my portfolio site. I'm now open for freelance or full-time employment opportunities, if you're interested in viewing the film please send me an email and I can send you the link.

I'll probably expand on this post, but I want to quickly say how happy I've been to have the opportunity to meet so many awesome and creative people here at Sheridan. These past 4 years have changed me for the better and all of you had a part in it. Big thanks for being so inspiring and supportive this entire time, and motivating me to get off my ass and work! I hope I get to work with some of you in the future, cheers to the next 4 years!

Another silly hiatus from me... the 2nd last term of my college career is almost done! In the next little while I'm going to be posting development work and the animatic for my final film. Stay tuned!

I went to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Here's a sample of what I saw!

an update? IMPOSSIBLE!!

A much needed update! I'm through my 3rd year at Sheridan, and I've relocated to Charlottetown, PEI for a few months for an internship with Trapeze Animation! Looking forward to a summer full of working, life sketching and planning my own film for next year. Now onto the work, which is mostly what I've been up to the past few months, but I wanna start with older stuff.



Fishy John is grumpy because he lost both of his legs trying to nab a shark for dinner. Cheer up Fishy John!



Turnaround for my Little Prometheus project



mock production still for fun

Aaaand now some stuff I did for an animated short I worked with several other people at Sheridan this year, (tentatively?) called Just Desserts. I focused on the color and background development of the film. Layouts on paper, digitally painted in photoshop.

I had far too much fun doing this one



That's it for now!

Another school term has gone by! I've been mostly busy with the group film, but here is a nearly complete scene from my half minute action analysis storyreel. I need to re-do the reel, so that will be up soon. It's really nice to finally compose an entire animated scene, rather than just pencil tests. I'll be working on my coop portfolio for most of this month, so expect to see more work coming up soon!
