A practice voiceover done for my animation final... the main reason why the eyebrows and eyes do not move is just that.

Deconstruction of a Mural

Deconstruction of A Mural from Michael Shaw on Vimeo.

My segment from a larger group project for animation class.

If murals were animated, I think they would look something like this, made with these steps in mind:

"...section off, line art, color, animate, repeat"

Sound made in garageband with stock loops, before i knew of the awesome that is Logic Pro.

Visuals: Toon Boom Digital Pro

Animation Tryptich

Animation Tryptich from Michael Shaw on Vimeo.

A collection of three animations tied together through changes not only from the actions on screen, but from their aesthetics as well. 

(Black and white to full color; Paper animation, paperless animation, and a combination of both, Frame-by-frame to Digital keyframe animation.)
