Digital Animation

Jason Collins

Johnny Softspot

We made this project in Toon Boom Harmony to display rigging, animation, and composition skills. Jason Collins and Jack Moroney have worked together before and developed enough of the Johnny Softspot before the final year that it was a good project to develop as there would be less confusion over direction.

We chose Toon Boom Harmony as it’s the best for the rigged animation style we’re going for and we are equally as aware of the fundamental tools of the software. In addition, this production allows us to extend our knowledge in Harmony furthering our employability by Irish animation studios that use it.

In terms of the story of the Johnny Softspot, Jason and Jack created Johnny to be a marketable television show that they intended to pitch. Creating a teaser, which is Act 1 of the show’s pilot, will help display that they can create it to potential studios could fund the idea.

Welcome

We formally welcome you to the Limerick School of Art & Design Graduate Show of 2019 featuring the work of final year LSAD Graduates from Painting, Photography Film Video, Print Contemporary Practice, Sculpture & Combined Media, Ceramic Design, Fashion Design, Fashion and Textiles for Product & Costume, Graphic Design Communication and Game Art Design,

By the time you see these words your work will be on display, representing a segment of life, time, effort, energy and creativity that form the final chapter of your four year journey. Take a bow, savour this moment, not just in a singular manner but as a collective body of students, sharing in each other’s trials, tribulations and success. There is a special magic here at LSAD that allows individuality, collegiality and diversity to prosper. Here in our LSAD world, there is space and time, and the work that now inhabits the Clare St Campus, in digital and physical forms, is the residue of that experience. It is not the work that leaves with you, it is the lived experience of striving to make sense of our environments and of ourselves in the world.

As you go forth to pursue your passions in your selected field or simply to make a living, what is the collective strength that you hold within you all? You are part of the creative and cultural sector and how you exercise your abilities and strength can really affect and change our society. This expectation should not be a weight, imagine it more like a catapult or launch pad for your future selves.
