Old Dogstar storyboard test

I just found these. They were on an old msn blog that I had. On the first series of Dogstar(2005) I was offered an opportunity to try out to do boards and this was my submission. I was given a portion of the script, one background design, character designs and some blank storyboard paper.

I remember being so sick when I was doing this. My eyes were all puffy and I could barely see but there's a lot I like.




















I think that last frame is the only one I might do differently (due to how everyone runs off and understanding the dogstar way of animating it would have been hard to do it that way).

I saw the real finished scene and my interpretation of what was written was completely different. It was a fun experience but it was probably best that I didn't get the job and worked as an animator as at that stage I still had so much to learn.

DOGSTAR ON TV

Channel 9 finally annouced when Dogstar will be screening.


It begins on Tuesday November 27 at 4pm. It will screen daily from Tuesday through to Friday each week after that. Our first episode Rose and I worked on will be Wednesday the 28th and then every 3rd episode after that (there were 3 animation teams working on dogstar, Big kids and Square I doing the other eps).

So to celebrate it finally reaching television I've done a fan picture (to avoid any copywrite as that all belongs to MediaWorld/Animation Works)
