Identity non-Chrisis

So here it is the 1st of Goonhilly's re-branding idents. From now on Goonhilly will be split in to 6 different sections under the new parent name of Goonhilly Productions (Cynhyrchiadau Goonhilly). They are as follows:

1) Cwmwl(coomool - as seen above): Interactive Flash Website and Game Division, creating new and exciting web designs and games to keep your customers happy and on Cloud 9! Cwmwl is Welsh for Cloud!

2) Oreion (Orion): Post-Production, some editing, but mostly After Effects will be generated by this Division. We were responsible for this Ident and the idents to follow.

3) Icarws (Icarus): Animation, the core of the company, Icarws Produces Traditional and flash animation, some CG will follow, but the core work is Pencil and Pen Tablet. Whether work for feature Animation or mini internet animations, no project to large or small, that we wouldn't love to be a part of!

4) Aden(Ardenn): Illustration is the name of the game for Aden, creating caricatures, Backgrounds, Still Images of all sorts of weird and wonderfull Creatures and Characters, as well as character Designs and turnarounds. Aden translates as wing, flying you on the wings of inspiration!

5) Taran: Meaning thunder in Welsh, we hope to bring roaring designs to your business, from corporate, product, logo, graphic, to architectural design in future years. We bring you big impact branding to even the smallest of businesses.

6) Seren Wen: A White (Wen) Star (seren) shining like a beacon to all your customers, Seren when works closely with the 'Taran' and 'Cwmwl' divisions to devise viral and corporate marketing strategies to suit your needs. Whether flyering, viral, product or mass media, it can be done. A small arm of the Goonhilly to date, but with great experience in Bluetooth viral marketing running and managing at many big public events, and self promotion, were sure to assist you in all your marketing needs.


So Above is the 1st Ident, there is sound coming and a better High res logo, but all that is to come! Look out for 5 ferther idents, and an Ident for the parent company Goonhilly to be added. The logo launch will happen on here on Saturday August 15th (this satuarday) so look out for that, there will be a grand launch in Octiber containing all Logos, Idents, Websites and Promotional materials, more to follow!

Hear yea, Hear yea, the website is now delayed to a date to be announced soon due to an involvement with Don Bluth animation! thas is all, thank you

Hear yea! hear yea! eilianroderick.com is currently under construction, HTML is being sorted, CSS is being learnt, and final templates are being finalized. The site's launch date is may 31st, 2009! 

So here's the aforementioned animated avatar, not with final background may I ad. I had some trouble animating it. Mostly with the timing. I'd thumb-nailed, roughed and cleaned the piece and it just looked terrible, the timing was awful and so i began jigging it about. I finally put all the frames on ones (this means every frame had a drawing on it) bar the pauses which were on twos (which means that every other frames have drawings on them) yet it still looked jittery. Confounded that i feared my animation skills had worsened so, i then realized that the animation was on a frame rate of 12 frames per second, rather than the 25 frames per second it should have been on..... needles to say, i felt a bit daft. But oh well, it's finished now, hope you like. 

Ok so here's my second post of the day, this lovely specimen you see here is called Mistress Ball Breaker. She is a soon to be animated avatar for an online internet series called 'Break Free', by Rhys Miles Thomas, a media writer based in Cardiff. 

Here's my newest girl, I have been working entirely through Flash recently and it's been quite an interesting process! My basic method is to place down line-less shapes, or paint brush strokes, hold control and manipulate shapes and strokes to my harts content until I have what you see above. The picture is called 'crabs in your pants', crude no? Poor sunbather Rachel has had her bikini bottoms stolen by a horny little crab..... don't ask it just came to me. I think that I have divulged from drawing like this that digital art IS cheating, but a good kind of cheating. I'm just wondering if the same technique as I've used here, could be transfered to traditional painting?.... watch this space!
