vivo test
Super quick test that I did in pre production for Vivo. I just wanted to see if I could approximate a chalk drawing feel for some of the dance sequences. His design changed as it went further into production but I think this little snippet turned out rather fun.

Centaurworld pre production test
Переглядів 79 тис.Місяць тому
This is a short test that I did a few years ago for Megan Dong's Centaurworld show. I was trying to get as close as I could to Megan's sketchbook style which I think is so fun. She uses marker pens and I was trying to get that feeling in TvPaint. The show itself turned out a bit more standard in its technique, but I was trying to give them a little push.

I had the pleasure of going to Italy a couple of weeks ago to do an animation workshop for Nemo Academy in Florence. It's a great school and they are such lovely and generous people. I roughed out the first version of this test during the workshop and then I tied it down later when I got home. The sound is Roberto Benigni from "Life is Beautiful" and he says, "Guardate che roba!

Scar Tests

These are nearly all of the Scar shots that I animated for Lion King. Apologies for the low res. - it was 1992! You can see some of the early tests, reworked versions etc. This is all pre Hans Zimmer, so it's all scratch music from other movies. Enjoy.

Another doggy animation. I can't seem to stop animating dogs, they're the best! Anyway, this was started as a live demonstration at The Art Department event run by We Are Playgrounds in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Then I finished it off at home.

www.indiegogo.com/projects/syrenka-legend-of-the-warsaw-mermaid This is a beautiful pencil test by my friend Tina Nawrocki, you might know her work on the "Cuphead" game. She is making a hand drawn animated short about a Polish mermaid called "Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid". Hand drawn animation is very important to me - nothing else seems as magical as drawings that come to life! If yo...

Here's some more Quasimodo that I animated. The cut is slightly different from what ended up in the final film, with less time spent on the cut-away to the gargoyles. Plus the original intent was to just have them look sad, and not goof around.

Lion King first roughs vs tie downs

Here's three shots from The Lion King showing my first rough pass compared to my tie down pass. In the first two shots Simba is animated by the brilliant Ruben Aquino. You can see that my first sketches are really scribbly.
Spirit and Rain

This is a pencil test that has been elsewhere on the internet. I thought I would put it here too. I animated this little section after Spirit sees Rain on the river bank to where the shot dissolves and Matt Damon's voice over starts.

    Trying to figure out if this is a CGI background or the best use of paralax animation I've ever seen in my life.

    • @jamesbaxter1236
      @jamesbaxter1236 День тому

      It's parallax. It's composited in After Effects and many of the background layers are either warped or set at an angle which gives it a kind of 2.5D look. There's no actual cg elements in any of the hand-drawn sequences in Enchanted.

    I had no idea so many of the beautiful and captivating scenes from films I love were Baxter's work. When I saw the Adventure Time episode, I didn't know anything about the guest animators and just knew I loved how fluid and charismatic James Baxter was. You have such talent and I'm grateful for all of your work!

    0:19 This must have been a really intimidating character acting shot to get right. Because Scar himself is acting, trying not to let the thrill of his victory betray his facade, but also you can’t have him seem too remorseful, because he definitely isn’t. He has to come across in a very controlled way.
