DEADENDIA: THE BROKEN HALO BY HAMISH STEELE 2020 PROMOTIONAL ANIMATION

ANIMATIONS Although I don’t get a chance to do animations very often, I have loved creating these short animations, my first being Everest which I created using Photoshop. In 2019 I taught myself Premier Pro and After Effects to include some new and interesting effects and to make the animation process faster.

ARTEFACTS Luke kindly sent several Hilda “artefacts” to display in the exhibit.

I catalogued and stored these items, designed and printed labels and shipped these to the gallery to be displayed.

These included his sketchbooks, some felted and knitted toys, mythical books and other trinkets associated with the Hilda series.

PRINTED ELEMENTS I received original drawings from Luke (pictured left) and printed digital copies of the coloured spreads to hang alongside these to show the progress of the comics.

I also created vector graphics on Illustrator to send to be printed as decals and standees to decorate the space.
