Hitman Joe in: Level 50 is online!

My big animation project, it is finally up! You can watch it on Youtube or Newgrounds, pick your poison. (Youtube seems to have treated the colours a little better though.)

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the process of making this, I really appreciate everyone’s feedback, ideas and motivational comments.

Special thanks of course to Joel for providing The Baron’s awesome voice.

I really appreciate everyone putting up with me when I was too busy working on this to socialize or be a normal person. It’s been a hell of a ride making the film and I can’t wait to do it all again on my next project.

Level 50 is Coming

While the version of ‘Hitman Joe In: Level 50’ I handed in to university was complete, I really wanna give it the icing on the cake and make sure it’s perfect before I upload it for the world to see. With all the craziness organizing the degree show and examinations right now, it could be a week or two, but hang in there, it’ll be worth it.

Here is a snap of my ever growing, ‘finishing touches’ checklist.

The Final Week

Hitman Joe in: Level 50 is almost done! Well on track to be handed in this Friday. Post hand-in, I think I will shine the film up a little, especially in areas I produced close to the start of this process, effectively creating a ‘Director’s Cut’ which I will be showing at shows and eventually uploading online, just for you!

3 Weeks Remain

The Deadline is really drawing in now, not to worry though, Hitman Joe In: Level 50 is actually very much on track for completion. This project has taught me as much about time management as it has about animation.

100 Days Remain

The planning stage is done, the animatic is finished, and below is a snap from my dope sheet/shot checklist. I’ve worked out there are about 100 working days between me and my deadline. This is it.

Fourth Time Lucky

The first shot of ‘Level 50’ wasn’t half a toughy. It is an angled shot, looking up at the towering building where the film takes place. After being pretty content with my first effort, it was pointed out to me that it actually looked rather mundane, cartoony and small. From here I was taken on a punishing journey attempting to perfect the shot.

Never be afraid to throw something away and try it again, it’ll probably end up better for it.

Even if it does take you four f***ing tries.

Dawn of the Final Year

So here I am, final year, the final hour, judgement day. Here is a poster promoting my final year project/short film ‘Level 50’. Which serves as Hitman Joe’s action packed debut.

YouTube & In Bruges

Despite working a full time placement job, I got the insane itch to work on a 2D project in my spare time recently. A week or so with barely any sleep later, and here is my finished experiment. It’s a homage to the film ‘In Bruges’, or rather, what it would look like if it was animated by me. Also using this as a launching point for my own shiny official YouTube channel.  I had a lot of fun doing it and it reminded me why I wanted to be in animation in the first place. To be honest I’d love to do a whole series of these ‘Animated Movie Scenes’, if the copyright boys don’t kill me first.

Ahh, I love 2D. <3
