Welcome to another exciting episode of The Keyframes Podcast!

On this weeks episode we do our best to help all of the 2014-2018 Sheridan Animation Hopefuls! That's right, an entire episode dedicated to offering the tips and tricks we learned along the way when we were creating our Sheridan Animation entrance portfolios just 1 year ago. We walk through each of the pieces required for the portfolio and share our experiences, pass on advice we were given, and give our thoughts on how to give your portfolio that extra edge among the rest.

We hope this episode will make creating your portfolio just that much more an enjoyable experience, and will hopefully will help you in accomplishing your goal in joining the Sheridan Animation Elite!

Goooooodluck!

Murder at Mongoose Manor - A 24 Hour Short Film by Studio Mongoose

I created a short film with a group of people! 
And what an experience!



Done in 24 hours straight! It was such an interesting 24 hours and a wonderful experience to create something from scratch with a bunch of awesome people. Even after a month from creating it, I couldn't help but smile during the premier of it on the big screen this past friday.

In the end, with our little group of friends, we called ourselves Studio Mongoose. So here's a tumblr page with some behind the scenes pictures during the production of this short film!

Here's some early rough work on the character I designed.

Redesign by Kennith

Marc's character. Original in the centre, a refined on the right, and the final design on the top left.

Raymond's character and final by Kennith on the right.

Matt's character and Kennith's redesign.

Melissa's character and Kennith's redesign, it went through another redesign while animating. As well as an early plan of the guest's shapes to find an interesting composition and placement at the table, taking gender also into consideration.

Main character design by Kennith and more explorations.

Colour test I did of Eloise.

Early layout design and final placement of guests at the table so that we were able to start animating.

Wonderful Mongoose Manor design by Matthew.
