Space Bar - Part Two

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I introduced you to Gunther, and told you about a stop-motion class group project called "Space Bar."
I never followed up because the semester ended and the project had to come to a halt before it was 100% completed. The sound and editing were never finished but I'd like to show you what we did manage to accomplish.

Welcome to the Space Bar, I hope you enjoy it!



In that earlier blog post, I mentioned that we built the set together, each made our own characters (mine is Gunther, the bartender), and had a great time shooting and editing. Our teacher, Juliette Marchand, was amazing, and it was a great pleasure working with my classmates, with especial thanks to Harold Brenkus, Anya Ewing (website), and Graham Wilson (website / blog). Thanks guys!

New Things and Old New Things

First! I've update my website, nancymuller.com, which is now powered by Blogger. Hooray! Anyway, it is ridiculously convenient and I like it, so I hope you do too.

And Second! I finally put up the fish animation that I mentioned in my very first blog post. It was an in-camera stop motion experiment, and the lighting and color are terrible, so please forgive me! Anyway, it was a good time. I still have all the bits, so maybe I'll revisit it someday with a new approach. Here it is:



I've also posted all my other little animations to flickr, in the animation set.

Space Bar - Part One

Meet Gunther.

Gunther

He hails from the planet Slugulon, and is the bartender and owner of a great little place in outer space, the SPACE BAR, an Intergalactic Liquid and Comestible Consumption Center of Sector 7Z-5, Orbiting the 3rd Moon of Zentrilox 4, the Rogue Planet.

Gunther

It's a rough job but an interesting one. You never know who will walk in and what will happen in a bar in outer space.

Order up

As a group project for stop-motion, a couple of classmates and I worked to put together this fun little animation. We built the set together, each made our own characters (mine is Gunther, the bartender), and had a great time shooting and editing.

It was ridiculously fun to put this project together, from start to finish. Our teacher, Juliette Marchand, was amazing, and it was great working with my classmates, with especial thanks to Harold Brenkus, Anya Ewing, and Graham Wilson. Thanks guys!

Here are a couple of behind the scenes images:

Why, Hello There...

My name is Nancy.
I am an illustrator/animator/crafter, and this is my new blog.

I know we hardly know each other, but if you'll let me, I'd like to introduce you to some very friendly fish:

Hello Fish

These little guys are painted in gouache, cut-out, and laid over a watercolor collage background. They're part of an experiment in stop motion animation, still in progress.
Someday I will polish it up and share it with you.

Expect a lot of new developments in the days to come.
