ALT 'The 12 Principles of Animation'

  • Charlie Maxwell

This video was part of our industry skills module in MA Animation. We worked with a local studio in Belfast (ALT Animation) to produce a short instructional video demonstrating the 12 Principles of Animation as outlined by Olly Thomas and Frank Johnston in their book 'The Illusion of Life'. I worked as an animator, clean up artist for props and project manager. The other contributors of this team were, Jennie McWhirter, Eileen Neil and Donal Rainey all of whom created storyboards, concept art and prop designs as well as working in the clean up of animations for the final film.

I also finalised the overall look for the project in the environments and 'narrator character' while the 'principles characters' were designed and rigged for ToonBoom by Jennie McWhirter.
