"TOPCAT, THE MOVIE"



"Topcat, the movie" from Santiago López Jover on Vimeo.

"Topcat" was my first project in Cartoon Saloon and my first animation experience outside Spain. We developed in Cartoon Saloon a big part of this mexican featured film animated in Flash, and was a good oportunity for me to learn the huge possibilities of the program, which i had always used it just for simple and limited animation. They wanted a traditional 2D animation look, so we used the usual flash tools (symbols, tweens, etc), but leaning always our work in the traditional 2d animation way, drawing rough animations, keyframes, inbetweens, etc.

STORYBOARD FOR TV SPOT





"WOODEN SWORD"


Wooden Sword from Santiago López Jover on Vimeo.

These are the scenes that I animated for Paul Bolger´s teaser "Wooden Sword". It was limited handrawn animation in flash, because he was looking for some kind of animated comic look. Also we had to animate 4 minutes of animation in just one month, between 4 animators: Slaaven Reese, Bárbara Cipollone and Sergio Córdoba. They did the other sequences, this is just a compilation of my scenes. 

You can see down the final teaser.

Laika Trailer from Santiago López Jover on Vimeo.

Here the flash trailer that i did together with Guille Seguí for "Laika", the project showed in the other video "laika, pitch". As i explained there, at the begginning this show was planned as a low cost Tv animated series in flash, but after some time, it became a high qualityt 3d Project.

"LAIKA, SPACE ADVENTURES" pitch


Laika pitch from Santiago López Jover on Vimeo.

This is one of my first flash animations, in the tima that i was working in Hampa Studio. It is a comercial pitch for a new cool that the studio was trying to push up, "Laika space adventures". I did this simple animation together with talented animator Guille Seguí (we splited the work in two), and the idea was to introduce the characters, which are inspired in the historic animals taht were sent into the space in spacial missions: in our show, they and their respective spacecrafts meets in the space and try together to go back home. The initial idea was a low cost Tv show in Flash (that is the reason of the static pose and limited animation in the characters), but finally it became a high quality 3d project that is actually in development; you can check it in Hampa Studio´s site.

JAUMET








These are some designs that I did for a nice project in Hampa Studio, Jaumet. The idea was to make a funny show for children, about the childhood of the most important medieval King in Valencia, Jaume I.

SMAUG VS BALROG


Here the first drawing that i did in photoshop with a wacom tablet... was in 2005. I was very sick along all that year and i spent the time learning how to use a tablet: from analogic to digital.

STOP MOTION REEL



This is a selection of animations that I did in Stop motion. Most of them are not professional work, just amateur animation tests that i did when i was student, and some other experimets with oil colours. I really enjoy the Stop motion!
