Kingston University: Drawing Crowds


We had a short two day project with Ben Newman as a visiting tutor. We were challenged to build a location and put a crowd within it. I found this project really difficult, as it requires such planning that I personally find so difficult to visualise in a small version... it's such an important thing to conquer though! I think that's why the animatic project didn't work out perfectly, having that distinction between a rough and a final thing, and how many times do you plan in between?? Don't underestimate it, it's very hard, and crucial! So in the struggle, I'd started the second day with very little, and so my piece was whipped out in about 3 hours! Mine is the second down, with roller skaters in the supermarket.
