e4 sting
Thursday 22 August 2013.
Every few years e4 runs a contest for viewers to create a 10 second e4
sting, unfortunately I only found out about this competition 2 weeks
before the dead line. So with only a short time available
this was my attempt...
[An e4
sting is the little 10 second video's that are played before
some shows on e4. The only limits are the clip must be 10 seconds long
and use the music they provide and their e4 logo. ]
With so little time to come up with something and make it this
was going to be a challenge. I figured with so litttle time I couldnt
create something that might win the contest so for me my challenge was
creating a finished animation within a short time making the deadline.
The first week was spent brain storming, creating story boards and
simple animatics. By the end of the week I had 6 different ideas to
choose from. The final decision was based on what would I estimated
would be possible in a week so the simple space scene was choosen
because it only needed a single character, simple planet and rocket.
[Maya was choosen as I
had used it before for animation and now was not
the time to learn something new.]
With only 1 day to go it was complete...
