Cover My Eyes - The Birthday Massacre (contest entry 2013) @HEWanimation

HEWanimation This is my entry for the contest. I've always wanted to animate to a Birthday Massacre song so had alot of fun creating this in my spare time. I choose this one as it was the easiest for me to visualise a story for to go along with the lyrics. I animated in pencil mostly on traditional 12 field animation paper using a standard plastic peg bar, then scanned it onto my laptop, added colour filters and created some of my own special effects by digitally painting pollen orbs. I also created my own masks using green screen on the computer to create the effect of growing stalactites. I did my absolute best I could in the time limit between work and other stuff so I'm pleased with this overall.

Hayley Warner Animation Showreel

HEWanimation 2022-05-18 | This is my current animation showreel for 2022 with highlights from some of my animated projects from the past and present. The animation at the start is part of the opening sequence for my own project I'm working on currently which is a series of travel and art videos around Dorset where I paint traditional plein air paintings or digital ones of interesting spots from around the county. I am hoping to release the series of videos later this year.

The end still is a digital painting based on a sunset I recorded on a trip to Brighton and hopefully will be releasing a short video series later this year also.

Colouring Test Shot 8 - The Circus Bear

HEWanimation 2012-11-06 | I still want to be able to show this at festivals so cannot upload the full film to you tube at the moment. Originally the whole 3 minute film was shown in a line test state at the Harbor Lights Cinema back in 2011. I'm currently going through it again, colouring and making some changes to improve it. This scene follows when he has been clinging on for dear life after the back door of his truck has flown open from a bump in the road.
