I moved to tumblr

I'll try to make more posts here. For the most part, I've moved to tumblr.

You can access that blog at skyanimation.tumblr.com!

Quick Update!

So, I figured, why not show what my work space looks like 'tidy'?

Well, here are some pictures!

Dragon: Cleaned-Up Version

Here's a video straight off the press, showing how my dragon will look as just lineart. You can expect a painterly/ messy color feeling on him within the next week.

Anyways, this is how my clean-up will look for the main part of my animation. The more actiony the scene, the more rough and sketchy the lineart will be.

MASSIVE UPDATE, 2 WEEKS LATE

So, I haven't posted for a while, due to the large amount of work I was assigned these past couple of weeks. So, I thought I'd post some tests of what I've been working on recently. Some of them are interesting, some of them are cool. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Some backgrounds and a poster!

Here are some interesting updates for you all!

There are going to be a few changes, but as you can see, this is the over all style I'm going for! :]

Finished background -quick update-

Here's my updated and finished background, quite happy about it too.

I'll post a walk cycle in a little bit.

New update!

I didn't post anything on Sunday, as I had just gotten back from the Ottawa International Animation Film Festival (OIAFF or OIAF). I saw Pendleton Ward and Thurop Van Orman! Got my pictures taken with them and it was awesome.


Here is a little update on the background. First drawing.

And here's one that is more recent.

Progress from the longest video to the more recent and shorter ones! :D

Just thought I would post Animatics (which are animated storyboards, also known as Lik-a-reels) ranging from my old ones, to the ones I cleaned up and made better, shorter and more interesting. I'm liking how the story is taking shape ^_^

My Deviantart account -I will post the most recent animatic on there with some backgrounds.
My Email - If  you would like to contact me

The characters name is Sky. She is a cute little girl who has a good deal of backstory, but I can't tell you that until later. ;D

So here are my animatics!

First post of the new blog

Hi, my name is Jeff Miller. I'll be starting to post on this blog to not only promote my film, but allow for progress to be seen within my work!

I am really excited to see my project take place and take effect. A rough run down of my story is that there is a girl, Sky Song, who deals with a lot of terrible things in her village and runs away to a carefree, wonderland... Or so she hopes.

My backgrounds are definitely taking shape. Some can be found here at my Deviantart site: My Deviantart Profile

I just got them approved, thus far, for what they are. "Good movement and good point of direction, keep at it".

Just for a little snipbit of the backgrounds I have, here is one picture


Until later -
Jeff Miller
