Being mid February, I think I can safely say that Christmas is long behind us.
And as promised here are the making of pictures from Georges 2016 Christmas special, sorry It's taken so long to get them up here, but with work and various other projects in the works it has taken a while to sort out.
I hope you enjoy:
George before having his eyebrows applied in his Christmas set
Georges mug of hot cocoa
Georges tree angel (He made it himself)
The Devon Herb novel had to be remade as the original was getting a bit tatty, but hopefully it looks the same as the original
A shot I usually forget to take of the actual animation software I use to animate Georges Reviews I use Stop motion pro to animate, sort out audio in Audacity and lip sync using Magpie pro
Georges Guitar before it's paint job
Georges finished guitar
If you haven't already then check the last post to see the Christmas Special! More to come soon hopefully!!!
Hey everyone, as promised here are some making of photos:
A small beer crate of Georges favourite beer ( X - Brand ) A new prop created for the previous episode and there's no reason it won't be used for later episodes too!
After this episode was finished i wanted to give George a good touch up his hands were a mess and so were his clothes, so i stripped him naked and chopped off his hands replacing them with new fresh clean ones. They look a bit smoother but in the future i will aim to give him the smoothest hands possible.
By dipping them in latex i was able to get a smoother finish whereas in the past i had painted the latex on with a paintbrush, this left the fingers looking cracked and lumpy
Georges cupboard also looked as if it needed redoing. So i rebuilt the cupboard from scratch, it's currently painted black, soon i will paint it to hopefully look like wood!
Here I am painting the cupboard black I'm wearing my most tattered t-shirt to paint in, as you might be able to see, It has a massive hole in it, but why throw away perfectly good painting clothes! Also i'm adorning my wonderful safety goggles
I've also repainted the wall, added in a new door and put up a small shelf for George now he has a place to show off his Devon Herb novel!
Next I'll be remaking the phone and remote, then I'll give the cupboard a good finish, repaint the floor and make a few extra props along with new clean replacement mouths. Then i can get back to animating.
All animated and ready to upload for your viewing pleasure by mid September!
Stay tuned folks and I'll post more upadates soon!
Here we go everyone, the fifth episode of Georges reviews, he's really coming into his own now.
I'm hoping to get one review out every month, here is Augusts episode.
I'll be posting up some making of bits and pieces later on, but for now I hope you enjoy Georges reviews - Harry Potter!
A new George's review is up for your viewing pleasure! Check it out below!
For this review, I had to create some new props.
In the original Welcome to my life, George was rarely seen without a beer, so I wanted to create one for him to drink from. Also being the Jurassic World episode, I needed a dinosaur and army man prop.
They were simple objects created using super sculpy. I later painted them to look as they do in the review
Here is my set up for the episode, a very basic but effective set
I hope you're enjoying the reviews, more coming soon!
Hello folks, I thought i'd update the blog with Georges video reviews.
The first one came out March 2014 and the second May 2015
So it was over a year between reviews, very poor to say the least, especially considering the most recent review only took a week to animate.
But I have been very busy with the Gammon Pinkman movie, so have been unable to keep up with other projects see my blog: My stop motion blog
Or the Gammon Blog: Gammon Pinkman Blog
But now I'm back animating George again so the reviews should be more frequent from now on!
