Rotoscope
April 27, 2007 19:04My first ever rotoscoped animation. lackadaisical monster reading the paper. Pretty short, very happy with it. Going to extend this project to include some watercoloring and paint splatters.
walk cycle mistake
November 27, 2006 09:01This is a mistake I made with my first walk cycle. It looks like it is somewhere between a sexy saunter and a robot walk. I followed maya foundations to a T despite the fact their character is a robot, and mine is not. I thought it was pretty funny looking, and have since fixed it. I thought I should share because it makes me laugh.
Progress in General
November 27, 2006 08:25This podcast is an attempt to catch up on my updates for the last month that I haven't gotten around to. I go relatively in depth about paint effects and touch on some of the rigging and modeling I had been doing since I last updated. I also discussed my idea for my second project for Film1 which is a pretty simple idea and mainly an exercise on the optical printer. Click Here to Begin the Podcast
Film1 Edit2
November 27, 2006 04:21This is an edit of my first film (shown earlier unedited) that I did in final cut. I attempted to fix some of the darkness with a brightness/contrast filter but failed miserably so I just put it back to its original colors. Unfortunately, when i was digitizing the Iris on the thing wouldn't open up anymore so this is the lightest I could get it. However, on the projector it looks substantially better. So, you'll have to excuse this crappy quality. This film was actually meant to be a lot more...
Film 1 Movie Unedited
October 23, 2006 02:09Basically, this is my first film ever/my first claymation ever. It's totally unedited, I will probably edit it twice-- once traditionally (this will be handed in in class) and once on the computer (just shown on the podcast). That's really basically it. The assignment was to do a portrait. This is pretty obvious once you watch it. I had originally started with a structural film dealing with single frames but it evolved into this. I had some problems with the lighting, I think I didn't compe...
Claymation step by step
October 19, 2006 07:34This Podcast basically goes into detail about my first Film AND first claymation all in one. It briefly touches on my progress in computer animation (which is basically nill). There are plenty of photos from my shoot and descriptions of how I did stuff. It dicusses what to expect in my next couple of episodes as well. Click Here to Begin the Podcast
Vintage Animation
October 11, 2006 08:27Last year's final project for Computer Animation 1, "Poo Poo Pile of Love." It's about a fly who finds his true love on garbage day. It made it into pixelnation 06'. Looking back it has a number of problems, but in the alloted amount of time I did the best I could. I especially hate the transitions (white flashes). I hadn't really figured out after effects at the time. Another problem is the compression. This is my first real computer animation project- all in all I'm pretty darn proud of it.
Movie of New Character Model
October 11, 2006 07:42This is a 360˚ rotation of my new character. There are some issues with this model, including the texture on the boots. I believe the reflectivity got turned up accidently. The textures in general are just a rough idea of what they will be.
Modeling in Maya
October 11, 2006 06:22This podcast will very briefly touch on my claymation disaster in Film1, including pictures of the scrapped sculpture. After, it goes into the concept narrative for my new animation project (Feedback on this would be great!). Afterwards, it goes into a bit of modeling in maya including screencaps of my project to go along w/ the text. In a nut shell, it finishes with the modeling of my first character.
