Moon Landing...

The Eagle has landed. One small step for a man, one giant leap for me and all that sort of thing. Finally finished shooting the rocket landing on the Moon after struggling to figure out how to make a dust coud effect.

Spent ages trying to figure out how to paint cotton wool grey whilst making it still look like cotton wool. Turns out only a fool (me) would think it possible to paint cotton wool and still be able to make the most of its cotton wool type ability. The answer was much simpler, crush up some charcoal and rub it into the cotton wool and abracadabra, grey cotton wool!

Very pleased with the outcome, think it looks just right for the style of animation.

Pocket Satellite have asked me to put together what I have so far into a video to be looped at their upcoming gig on the 11th, Sketchbook Magazine Pop-up Shop in London. So I am currently adding some computer animated parts over the top of the moon landing  of the Girl exiting the Rocket.

Here are a few shots of my work space and myself in "at work" poses! As you can see, its all very crude but I am currently happy with the results I have managed to get so far.

Keep checking for more updates, I will post the work I am doing this week as I get it finished.
