Parkour Sequence

Feb/23/10

So I noticed that I’m getting better at animating camera moves and action scenes. My next big animation, among all the others I want to put together, is going to be a parkour runner being chased by enemies. I started on the environment, and once I get the story completed I’ll begin to start the actual animation. Until then expect to see some test animations of different maneuvers. A big portion of inspiration came from the game Mirror’s Edge. I’ve checked out a lot of youtube videos and it’s actually really interesting. There’s a lot of mechanics to the body movement that I think will help me get better at character animation. Here’s a preview of what I’ve got going on.

Cinematic Animation W.I.P.

Sep/02/09

While cleaning up the animation, I decided to add a little more to this animation. So I also started on another part where the main action in the scene will take place. I decided to start the animatic for the entire animation. This also gives me a chance to work on camera animation and subtle movement with it. The character rigs were designed by some amazing people at www.3dfiggins.com and www.creativecrash.com Read More...

Flight Animation W.I.P.

Aug/31/09

I’m working on a few new animations for my demo reel. I have a lot of character animations I’m trying to cleanup, so in the mean time I’ve started animating more mechanical objects. Here is a sample of what I’m working on.

Car Movement

I was playing with some old models and came up with a silly car ad. This is just a rough animation I’ll use with the car.

Animation Test - Argument

Apr/01/09

So here’s an early test animation to another short I’m currently working on. There isn’t any audio in it though. Sorry... Read More...

Shower Scene: UPDATED

Mar/24/09

So yea. This is more or less the final product. Other than last minute tweaking and fixing the lighting, I just have to add the last few frames. and the rest of the audio. It'll be about 30 seconds in length. it was originally a minute, but I slacked off and also over worked myself. Funny how that happens. Whatever...I'm proud of it.

Shower Scene

Workin on my final for a class. Maya is acting funny right now but the beginning will actually be credit then the scene starts here.

Monster Mash

Mar/02/09

So the title gives this animation more credit than it deserves. I was trying to get better and showing a sense of weight and "still" movement. As you should know, even when you stand still you are still moving. So I feel it’s a good start. I’m going to go back and add some more

New Animation: Blocking

Feb/12/09

So for the sake of being silly, I decided to start the process of a second animation. the singing is supposed to be bad, because the character is in the shower. So all in all, this idea worked in my favor.

The scene is a character that is singing in the shower and gets caught by his roommate. I'll re-post this when I get the other character in the scene.
