I thought I should keep the Animation Jumble going by posting this shot progression for a short film I work on last year.

My role in this production was to animate the majority of the short film. We had a very limited schedule and the style of animation required was minimal but I was able to spend a little more time on some shots.

The progression here is large thumbnails (blue), rough (orange), tiedown (blue)
Animated in TVPaint

CG body mechanics

This summer I wanted to see if I would be able to do something that had more movement to it than the lip sync I posted up earlier. For a long time I've been wanting to do something capoeira related as well, and even though I think this sort of a movement would be more fun in hand drawn, it was a good opportunity to challange myself in Maya.

Unfortunately things have been piling up and I haven't been able to finish it yet(I have a hope for the christmas break), but I thought I would post it up here and maybe get some feedback before I finish it up.

Thanks :)

CG Horse!

Posted for the jumble but open for opinions.
I had to quickly finish this sunday night but I want to tweak bits and make a nice render.

Project_Gouken

Hey you guys might have seen this online already but I didnt want to forget about AIB animation!

so this is a Street Fighter homage thought up by Laurent Rossi. Mr Rossi animated the characters, did the backgrounds, colouring and compositing....and I animated the FX :P hehe hope you all like!

Hey guys. So Figured id have a quick bash at this months 11 second club challenge. Would love to know what everyone thinks. 

Its definitely nowhere near as finished as I would like. And there's an awful lot in there that's not particularly good at the moment. Maybe something I can work back into later. I think the main problem is there is just too much going on. Its not very clear. And in animation, clarity is everything. 

I haven't entered it unfortunately. For a couple of reasons. But hey ho. It was a big old learning curve and i look forward to trying another one. Hopefully with a bit more success.

FX stuff

Hey guys, i've uploaded some recent FX animation ive been working on, onto my blog and on vimeo. For some reason it wont let me imbed the videos on this site, which is really strange because other people have. but oh well.

Please check out my blog crits are welcome, but you cant be mean!

Nice sketchbook travel video

I found this sketchbook travel animation by Bastien Dubois. I really enjoyed it and thought I would share it. I'm not sure if the purpose of this blog is just to show work you are doing yourself or if it is also for inspirational stuff like this. So if I'm "breaking any rules", let me know :)

Madagascar, carnet de voyage, extrait...

Ps. I noticed that people are able to put vimeo clips directly on to their blogs, but I only have the option of putting YouTube links on. Does anyone know why?
