Ben Kwok: BensFlares
http://ben-kwok.blogspot.com/2012/04/bensflares.html
Major Project Production Blog. Tuesday, 10 April 2012. Once again I find myself apologising for a late blog post. Shortly after completing the Masterclass project I set about producing my innovations project. The brief for this project allowed us the freedom to explore almost any aspect of animation and encouraged creativity and innovation. I chose to create a Nuke gizmo which would allow the user to add realistic camera lens elements to images, movies or CG renders read into Nuke. I really enjoyed the d...

Ben Kwok: February 2012
http://ben-kwok.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Major Project Production Blog. Monday, 13 February 2012. SCEE Masterclass Project Finished! I feel the need to issue a warning before I start this post: It's going to be long! Since the last update the deadline for the Masterclass project brief set by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has been and gone, and although I didn't keep this blog updated I made sure to keep a record of my progress as I worked. As a result I have around 50 screen captures and renders that I intend to talk through right now.

Ben Kwok: December 2011
http://ben-kwok.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Major Project Production Blog. Monday, 26 December 2011. Hope everyone had a good one. Once filled with turkey and trimmings there isn't much you can do in the way of physical activity; the perfect time to test out my new tablet! I was lucky enough to receive a Wacom Intuos M this holiday season, and it's just plain gorgeous. I think that Tony looks more akin to Josh Brolin in his role as Llewelyn Moss here! Saturday, 24 December 2011. The first concept was supposed to be some sort of futuristic temple i...

Ben Kwok: SCEE Masterclass Project Update
http://ben-kwok.blogspot.com/2012/01/scee-masterclass-project-update.html
Major Project Production Blog. Friday, 27 January 2012. SCEE Masterclass Project Update. Wow, I'm terrible at keeping this blog updated! When I left you last I had altered my concept sketch to better convey the tone of the piece. Since then the concept has entered production in 3D. First up are concept sketches for the look of the alien eggs:. I also decided to re-design the generator to look more fossil fuel based. And with the ceiling in place:. As soon as the environment was completely blocked out I p...

Ben Kwok: Sony Masterclass Interim Hand In
http://ben-kwok.blogspot.com/2012/01/sony-masterclass-interim-hand-in.html
Major Project Production Blog. Friday, 6 January 2012. Sony Masterclass Interim Hand In. The interim deadline for the Masterclass brief laid out by Sony was just before the end of term. In the flurry of work I forgot to upload the work that I'd done to this blog. The hand-in comprised of a perspective and colour study of our proposed environment. I put the environment sketching practice to use here and was quite pleased with the result. I've stuck the entire process up on here:. The Alien tower is added ...

Major Project Production Blog. Friday, 6 January 2012. I'm really really pleased with how it looks at the moment! It's so much closer to what I originally wanted to convey, but I just didn't know how to achieve it. I also realised that I hadn't uploaded the perspective study, so here's that too:.

Ben Kwok: Animation Workshop 2 Day 1
http://ben-kwok.blogspot.com/2012/01/animation-workshop-2-day-1.html
Major Project Production Blog. Friday, 13 January 2012. Animation Workshop 2 Day 1. Today we started the second in a series of intensive animation workshops. This time around we had Kevan Shorey and Robyn Mesher heading up the lecture series. They both currently work at Dreamworks PDI and have done for the past 8 years. Kevan was actually a graduate of the NCCA back in 2002 and so he understood that our minds were in Major Project mode. In the afternoon session we gathered in the labs where we were given...
