The winter term has wrapped up, and it’s studio time. Just finished another scene from The Music of the Spheres, pictured here in all its split-screen glory. What I plan to be doing for most of the summer.
May 2025 studio update
cosmology
Work-in-progress, January 2025.
At last, I’ve completed the interior room of the two towers. My plan is to reuse the design for both towers — one for the Moon, and the other for the Sun — but change the colour scheme. The Moon tower is an analogous mix of blues, pinks and purples with the accent colour of silver.
This character is loosely based on the High Priestess archetype from the Tarot.
Scenes 1 & 2, complete…maybe.
Happy with the rotoscoped animation. Debating changing the star field background. Even though I’m drip-feeding my footage for this project — something I swore I wouldn’t do — I actually find it interesting to document the various stages and changes made during the creative process. There’s a lot of back-and-forth and, if you’re not questioning your decisions, then perhaps there’s no opportunity for growth.
Anyway, glad to have completed the digital painting on the rotoscoped animation on Scene 2 just prior to the start of the school term. This project will get shelved until the term quiets down.
UPDATE:
Decided to try out another digital star field in After Effects, and I’m happy with this one. Looks more subtle than the previous background.
