Huha - Mr. Bubble Head

Over Christmas I worked on a part for an animated sketch show called 'Wobble Box'. A number of sketches were put up onto the Facebook group and animators were free to pick which one they would like to do. Since I had some free time over the Christmas Holidays, I decided to do one of these sketches: Mr. Bubble head.

First I created a basic animatic from the script, also using the music provided by Jonti Picking (Weebl). I showed it to the writer of the script and she said it was not the angle she was going for. Since the script was quite basic and I had no storyboard to work on, it is understandable that I interpreted it wrong.

With some more clarification on the script I went back and created a new animatic. This time making it more simple and floating upward instead. When I showed it to the writer she thought this one was a bigger improvement and I got the go ahead to start making it proper.

I had to change some of the bouncing from the animatic to make the character seem more lighter, but overall the animation fit with the animatic. When I sent the animation proper to the writer I also sent an invoice with it to ensure that I could be legally paid.

The sketch in the final composition was edited slightly by Weebl but it largely remained unchanged. About a month later I received my payment for my work, which came to around £150. It's not much but it is really exciting to see that I can monetise my skills like this!
