Adv. Char. Anim. Multi-person Situation

A bit of dancing for the multi-character situation.
I want to refine and update this one later.

Adv. Character Animation: Walk

We were supposed to make an irregular walk; a walk that wasn't just a walk cycle translated forward. So, I made a guy walking on his hands, because I've never really seen that before. I think I'll revisit the walking on hands animation, and try to make a better one.

Facial animation: dialogue

in this assignment the instructor gave us a piece of dialogue (actually four to choose from) from a movie and animate it with whatever character we wanted. I had this guy drawn in my sketch book on march 25, and I thought the dialogue piece I chose would be something this guy would say. I made everything in flash except the hummer which is a vector render out of maya (flash element made in a 3d program).

facial animation: sleep/death

on this one we had to make a character fall asleep or wake up with atleast 5 seconds of animation, then have a character die or come to life in at least 5 seconds. I combound the two into one video, and made the dinosaur fall asleep, and die in his sleep. I originally had another idea for the death animation, but someone suggested that I kill the dinosaur in his sleep, so I thought of the best way to kill a dinosaur; I had to hit it with a car.

facial animation: chew

This assignment required there to be the consumption and chewing of some object by a charcter, and be at least 5 seconds long. I made the assets in flash a while back for a specific scene in a short that is still a work in progress. It turned out pretty good concidering I didn't think I'd make him move like this when I built him.

Facial animation: head turn

This assignmet was to focus on turning the head of a character in reaction to something. I focused on the animation of the small robot, and added the guy later, I can see now that it degraded the whole thing. I also experimented with making the two animations separate, and reference them into to the scene at the end which did not work well, so I will probably not use that approach again.

cross eye Stereo: house/valley

I like this one because I took them a couple feet apart, and that gave a lot more depth to the content even though it's far way.

cross eye Stereo

this is a stereoscopic image. If you cross your eyes to combine the image it will appear 3D. you have to click on it to be re-directed to see the whole image

FacialAnimation: Eyes

I did this one for the week one assignment for Facial Animation class. We had to animate at least 5 seconds of the eyes blinking and looking around/ eye darts.

Ogre and the Flower

A bit of animation and some of the animatic on my "Ogre and the Flower" short that I'm making.

Newer Pencil tests

Arbian lunging at victim. Pencil test I did a few weeks ago of a creature for my Monolith storyline, it's called an Arbian.



A rock dragon looking under it's foot. Since this one is so short I want to expand on it and make it a short film with the dragon interacting with some small creature.

Character Animation assignment: LIFT

The heavy lift assignment, we had two weeks for this one.

I had fun making this one, and I will definantly be revisiting it to fix slips and pops.

Character Animation assignment: WALK and RUN

basic walk cycle




run cycle

I'd say these are a WIP because I'm going to make more, and varients of, walk and run cycles with different characters.

character animation assignment: TURN

In character animation, the turn project. I believe it was week 2 or 3.




I tried to be more exaggerated on this one, but I might try doing it again so it will look better. Specifically, I need to fix the leading hand an the fold at the waist, and touch up some other ticks. Sort of a WIP even though I already turned it in for the assignment, I plan on working on it until it looks good.

Camera Techniques Final

I forgot to place updates of the scenes, but here is the finished Camera Techniques final. I want to re-do this one with my own models and better textures and lighting.
