Progress Update

Friday, August 13th, 2010

So I finally got around to actually doing some animation that I figured was worth posting. What I’m currently working on is a sequence of three body mechanics shots, because I really wanted to do some action/parkour type animation which I never got around to doing when I was a student at Animation Mentor. This shot is part of what will hopefully end up on my demo reel.

The blocking is still quite rough. It’s still missing quite a few in-betweens, and the poses them selves need some polish. I also have yet to do any work on the hands, so that needs to be dealt with. Other than that the shot is moving along quite nicely I think. I have also started blocking the second shot in the series, but it still needs some work before posting it here. I am getting closer and closer to having an actual demo reel at least.

Class 5 – Week 7, Blocking

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

So, yeah, I know I’ve been horrible when it comes to uploading my Animation Mentor work these last few weeks, but now I finally got around to doing it. I was supposed to have this uploaded yesterday, but apparantly Flickr didn’t like me very much, and I couldn’t upload my shot before today (something about a codec that I have always used not working anymore, I have no idea why). Anyway, my two person dialogue shot is almost blocked out completely. All I need is comfirmation from my mentor that everything works.

Week 3 final blocking

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

So we’re technically in week 4 now, and as I’m writing this I’m still waiting for my eCritique, hopefully I’ll have it when I wake up tomorrow morning. I sure hope so. Because I still have a ton of work to do, and I didn’t get nearly as far with my shot last week as I should have, and wanted too. But there not much I can do about that now, other than working my ass off this week. Thank god I don’t have to go to work.

Week 2 Blocking

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

I’m a little late in uploading this, I know, but still. The first two weeks of Class 4 at Animation Mentor is over, and we’re actually way into week 3, which means I should probably start splining a little and what not, we’ll see how that goes. But at least my rough blocking is pretty much done, still needs some work on the poses and timing etc, but I’m getting there.

Week 8, Blocking!

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Holy crap, week 8 of class 3 at Animation Mentor is over already. Time flies by way to fast these days, I can barely keep up. This week has been all about blocking out the final assignment for this class, and it has been loads of fun, as the blocking part of the animation process usually is. Then you enter the part that every animator knows and loves, spline-hell, the part where you often wonder why the hell you’re doing this in the first place. In the end it’s always very rewarding though.
