I'm still here!

So, as is evident from the dates, I haven’t managed to update the blog in quite a while (over 3 months in fact!!) However, I haven’t been totally lazy (perhaps a little.) I went on holiday to Disney World shortly after animating  #Shite and since returning, I have been doing a bit of work on digital character designs which I will post below and more of my animation work will be featuring at Hashtag 7 on December 9th, alongside some fun photo edits.

I have finished animating the introduction video for Hashtag 7 which will be similar in style to Hash Tag Live 6 and I only need to complete the lip sync then do a bit of clean-up. I am currently taking part in an animation internship with a Scottish health company alongside Jon on a project that follows a girls struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) resulting in extreme hair growth.

This is a piece that I was very interested in working on, specifically because it is going to heighten awareness of PCOS which is something I wasn’t aware of prior to joining the team. There are currently talks happening with different broadcasters about this project and a high profile musician. I will write more on this as it happens, as from previous experience with “Marty Goes to Hollywood” it may be a while before I’m free to discuss it openly. At this moment in time the animation work has not yet started, but will be completed in Adobe Animate, which is a relatively new software to me.

Myself and Jon have also got together and made a storyboard for another 2D animation that we plan to work on early next year which will revolve around a balloon and his attempt to be free. We are still planning at some point to give each other a story to animate with storyboards etc but again this will be early 2019.

I have also been planning a small animation recently that will serve as a logo for my Facebook page “Campbell Animation”, this is only in the early stages but I hope to perhaps have this done before the new year so fingers crossed. I will be posting on here again, likely before Christmas to share my Hashtag Live Christmas piece.
