The Pull

So the hop exercise turned out to be total bollix, but we've been working on a weight exercise for character animation and I think I've been able to make it 'decent'. It is no where near being really good, but I've learned a lot and hopefully I'm working towards some good 3D character animation.

Yawn

Here's a rendered facial animation that I worked on this past week.

Hop

So I'm also in a character animation class this quarter and I must say I absolutely love it and the teacher is amazing. The first assignment is a hop from one foot. Here's my 'tweened' version. Feedback is more than welcome!!!

Muybridge Study

So here is one of the projects assigned within the first week back at SCAD. A hand drawn study of Muybridge's photographs. Unfortunately I got the horse, which was quite difficult to draw, but I ended up with a funny little animation to laugh at among friends. So here it is, but the sounds are a little harsh so turn the sound up or down depending on how you feel.

Christmas 2008

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I meant to get this one in particular up sooner. Personally I love when animators literally describe our capabilities as animators. My friends did this in their demo reel to Fjorg I think 2 years ago and it was a hilarious (that and the fact that they're all excellent animators!). If you haven't seen it check it out Fjorg Demoreel. I also wanted to comment on this seeing as Apple did a similar gag in their latest holiday commercial.



I found it to be quite funny, but then again I've always been a 'Mac Guy'. These types of animations are clever and remind us of the capabilities we have as animators. Anyways, don't stop animating and have fun with it.
