Here is the animatic to the Ka Ka spot.

Here is a real rough example of how the BG’s will transition into one another. Shading on characters is not complete… but we’re getting there.

Here is the updated animatic for the :30 version, posted after the jump.

Some of the top layer animation showing Harvey’s line quality & movement frame rate.

Here is a very quick run down of the motions Harvey will be going through to paint out the Kanji for tree. The stroke order is important! When we start the final line work we’ll get the crew on track with Charles’ design.

Here is an example of how detailed we could make the animatic frames.

Another unused animatic piece for the FIFA World Cup. We always liked the idea of the kids playing to overlap the pro’s actions… check out the video after the jump.

Here is the new trailer with the final audio mixdown. Mad Friday night rush!

Yes, we know Joe is Japanese is slow going on its production. Not much to be done about that now. However circumstances will change when we get some sponsorship $… but until then, here are some frames from the Two Buckets story. It’s a wild one.

Here is an early test we did for our West Coast friends at BuckLA… this was a fun look. Although thinking back it was very complex and difficult to execute properly…. heck we still had a blast working on it. Especially with all the hand drawn elements in the 3d space.

Here is a old frame from way back in 2005 that we felt we should put up in anticipation of the new Mongol film. We still have clients mention this frame so we thought it would be cool to finally post.

Another in a long line of abandoned Spike TV bumpers, these had a style that would have been a bitch to animate… but damn it would have been worth it.

Here are some way back frames from the first episode of the Kenny the Shark spinoff show Kenny’s Home Movies. Maybe this was 2003? Good grief we’re getting old…

Not sure how this is going to be animated yet… but OMG this is EXACTLY what we think the show is supposed to be about. If you were to ask the IslandMasta while sober (that’s him over there in a typical pose), he might agree… (more…)

Here are some stills from two of our favorite cuts. This is such a wild show, and fun to make.

Here is a collection of some shots that were part of a :30 spot. This is a good example of the type of line test animatics we do here at Humouring the Fates. We did these for the good folks at Buck LA. These never got made but it sure would have been cool to see these through the paces… maybe next time… or when some AMPM account holder stumbles accross this page and demands that these kernels of kool are popped & produced.

An early mix of the track “White Walls” from the upcoming JiJ Album.
