Here are some references I gathered for the original trailer, on the left side are the design references in the right side the color references and in the middle my rough thumbnails. I also added some screenshots of my miro board I have been preparing ever since I finished the trailer, it has a huge amount of reference, text, rough designs, kinda like a mind map of the universe.
Happy to ...

Hi all!
Here is a shot breakdown from episode 2 of uncanny alley! And some news at the end...
This shot was one of the longest to do from the series of shorts, it's quite long and fully animated.
The main tricks I used to speed up the animation process as much as possible was using 3d models and using live footage for rooscopy or reference. This shot is a good exemple of how ...

Hi all! As some of you might have heard or noticed, my youtube account got deleted.

Firstly I wanted to share some questions for the "its nice that" article https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/rodrigo-sousa-uncanny-alley-adult-swim-animation-project-190624:
Hi all!
I want to share the final animatic I did for episode 01 of Uncanny alley. I was proposed by adult swim to do 3 short films for the "adult swim smalls " program. They gave me a lot of freedom to do whatever I wanted to explore and were interested in a horror focused series of shorts. After pitching and presenting a synopsis they game me approval to proceed. Here is a link to an int...

Here is a breakdown of one of the shots from Playground.
I will first do some rough drawings on my sketchbooks to find the framing idea for the shot. If it's a long shot I will do multiple drawings, in this case there is a complex camera movement so I did 4 sketches.
Once I'm happy with them I will time the drawings to do a storyboard /animatic.
