I'm not a big anime fan...

..but this friday afternoon sketch was fun to do.

Kummeli Alivuokralainen Title Sequence

One of our works last year at Anima Boutique was this animated title sequence for the Kummeli Alivuokralainen film. Check it out! Visit Lineboil for some early development art. All the character animation was done in TVP animation, camera moves and compositioning in After Effects, background art is mix of hand painted elements and Photoshop.

Happy New Year!

I made a promise to myself to draw a bit more this year. I drew these sketches while watching tv tonight. Fiber-tip pen, 2-3 drawings on a A4 sized paper.

Merry Christmas!

Pick up your red-cyan 3D-glasses! I found out that it is actually really easy and fun to make these anaglyphic images. I tried to find colors that wouldn't change too much when viewed with 3D glasses, so the whole scheme ended up a bit dirty. Thank you Florian Satzinger for the inspiration. Christmas to every one, and by the way it's "Hyvää Joulua!" in Finnish.

Ella ja Aleksi

This is probably the first time I'm posting something else than sketches or unfinished personal projects. This music video is something we did in our studio Anima Boutique. The video was produced by the Bronson Club, designs are by Eliza and Antero. Please go and visit Elizas blog for more artwork. The whole thing was mainly animated in After Effects (bits here and there in Flash and TVP Animation). I did some of the animating and storyboarding.

Try to enjoy it even if you can't understand Finnish.

Christmas card from last year

I'll try to find some time to do a new one before this Christmas.
Meanwhile "Hyvää joulun odotusta!"
