Here is the E4 sting I animated.. I liked the idea of it and really do wish I had a little more time to work on it. I ran out of time and so the timing just doesnt seem right towards the end, a bit sped up but nonetheless I'm still quite happy with how it turned out in the end considering everything.

We were given a short 2 week project working on an ident for the E4 channel. The first week we had to do design sheets, a storyboard and an animatic using a chosen 10 second sound clip. At the end of the first week we were told to swap our projects with someone else so in the end I had to animate someone else's idea and they animated mine. In all honesty, that was a bit unnerving but in the end I came round and started working on someone else's. 

It was difficult working on this considering the time I had.. I wanted to add more details in the tentacles, make them have a more fluid flow so to speak. There was a problem when it came to exporting the animation from flash so I ended up losing 45 seconds.. I will keep trying to export it and upload it when I can. I'd also quite like to actually animate the one I designed and enter it into the competition later on this year. I had originally planned to make it a stop motion and make the creatures out of paper mache and gears and have it set on glass layers (similar to how the animation mykonos-grandchildren was created). I thought it would be too much to ask someone else to do create it as I originally planned so just told the person to animate it in flash.
