A look at Oyster World Games

To mix up my blog posts a little bit I decided to take a few game and animation companies starting with a company close to home, Oyster World Games.

Oyster World is a company which specialises in making top tier independent games for a variety of platforms (to name a few would be PC, Wii, DS and many more). But the company specialises in the point and click hidden object games, with their most recent title being “The Great Gatsby: Secret Treasure”.



Recently Oyster World has set up in Melin Corrwg Business Park within Wales after being in competition with Canada for the project for an unspecified amount of time. Today the company is still creating jobs for junior and experienced employees alike.

Ultimate Image Development Part 2 13/04/15

Using my final concept as template I fine lined my work in flash and then continued to colour and shade it Photoshop.

Below are some of the screenshots I took during the development process but I have cropped them because I don't want to give away how I colour or layer my work.

Below is my final image (The text isn't part of the poster, it is there to stop anyone from taking it and reposting). As a whole I'm satisfied in how it turned out.

Ultimate Image Development Part 1 08/04/15

For the last few days I've taken a break from my final film in order to work on business projects.
This first of which is my Ultimate Image, which in it's simplest form is a poster which promotes your work as an animator or character designer.

When doing initial research for this project I took a look at the work from past students as well as looked at movie poster that are currently being used to promote movies out in cinema's.

(I would show examples but until I get permission from the artist I won't post there poster just yet)

After looking over my research I knew I wanted to have poster which incorporates the character I have created over the last three years of university. So after drawing a few concept I managed to narrow them down to one idea, then I refined that idea a bit more and played around with the composition to get my final concept (while getting general advice and ideas from colleagues and family).

End of Year film update 02/04/15

The last couple of days I've trying to finish off as many scenes as possible (but not including the lip sync). I've only completed 3 scene's but I'm hoping I'll pick speed since the next few scene's involve only one character at a time.
