Swamp Cheese: Photoshop Animation

This term I joined a third project to help with animation. In Swamp Cheese, the animation is split into two styles, one of them being more abstract and done in Adobe Photoshop.

Off the Record: Gramophone

 Earlier this week I was given the job of designing the gramophone(s) shown in the film. At first I drew three different designs for the directors to choose from (first image).
