Grass Mud Horse - The Hill I Chose To Die on (Animated Music Video)

Whilst living in Qinhuangdao, China.  Me and a few mates went drinking.  After a few beers i took to the stage, singing the only Chinese i knew 'Shenme Tanke' (What tank) [I know it makes no sense, but i found the words funny and as a result, remembered them].Chris saw the punk in me and as a result suggested we formed a band.

Later, Will came to China with some great rap skills and music knowledge, as a result he was quickly persuaded to join us.

Over the course of 2019 an album was wrote up, skills were developed and we were ready to start performing live in 2020, then, corona happened.

We were split apart, I went back to Scotland (If there is a deadly virus out there, I want to be with my family), Will, the hard man, stayed in QHD and manned it out and Chris was up in the north of China with his family.

,but that didn't stop us.  Quarantine Sessions were made, albums based on old Irish Folk songs.  Below is an original song, about standing your ground.  Animated by me.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

My Animation Process (Honours - Game Scene)

I just want to show you how much effort i actually put into an animation. And who knows maybe you just might learn something from it all. 1st of the line test.  This helps me picture whats going to happen and lets me test out wether the animations work or not.  Also alot easier to make changes at this stage as its so basic. I then move on to a fleshed out version.  Basically the final version without the details.  This allows me to see how the final version will look and allows me to make any changes before the final version, were it will be much harder to change as there is a-lot more detail in it. I then add some basic colours to show me how it looks coloured.  This allows me to see what changes need to be made to the outlines. And finally the final version.  Cleaned up lines and the final colours.  I wish i had more time to spend on the lines and th...
