Cat Hoarder

Here are the rough animatic scenes for my thirty second montage, it was originally done on storyboards and put together with premier. As one of our Flash assignments we had to animate/re-create it in flash. It is in the midst of being revised and farther cleaned up. :)

Basic Armature Walk Cycle

This is a walk cycle I did in flash class earlier this term, our instructor, Tara Audibert, designed and created the armature/rig.

Wild West 3/4 Walk Layout Flash remake

In the begging of the term we had to take a previously done layout and clean it up in flash, also adding a camera move. I like how this one turned out, also the color scheme/theory appeals to me.

Avatar Character

The big assignment my classmates and I did this term was to create a character with very minimal reference and very little class time to work on it that would fit in seamlessly with the cast of character from the show Avatar: The Last Air Bender. I love the show, but it was quite difficult to create a character from next to nothing and get it to fit right into the show. The point of the assignment was to get experience in working with a client, getting very little face to face time and guidance. It didn't turn out too bad, and it was a lot of fun. I was assigned to create a seventeen year old Air Bender, we had to draw them in swim wear to match their nations.

Gestures With Personality

Here are some 'gestures with personality' for you.

Cafe Sketches

This is my best round of cafe sketches yet, I've always had trouble characterizing people so these turned out better than usual.

Best ones, compiled together:

Simplicication and Characterization

Now for some Life Drawing! Life drawing has been kind to me lately, here is the fist assignment we did: Simplification and Characterization.

Second Lip sync

This is the pencil test for the current lip sync we're doing. I like doing lip syncs, it's cool to give your character a voice and something to say.

Pitch

A lot of work went into this one, my first pencil test was a lot like my dive animation, quick and dirty. So after the first pencil test screening Rick sat down with me and seriously helped me out with this one. It turned out pretty good, even though it's only a small amount of keys. Big thanks to Rick on this one!

Dive

This is a dive that I didn't really have enough time to put a lot of work into, busy, busy, busy. So, it's really rough, kind of quick and dirty if you will. Just ignore the blue and red drawings in the background, it seems as though I forgot to turn off a layer in my flipbook file before I exported it.

Fat Run

Here is the 'fat run' assignment we did at the beginning of the term, this one turned out pretty good, but it's all thanks to Rick Knowles. He helped me out a lot with this particular animation.

Ball Bounce with Drapery

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I posted anything, I always seem to forget I have a blog. So this ball bounce with drapery is the first of many posts today :) Check it out, this was the 'warm up' animation at the beginning of the year, to get up back into the animation groove.

Layouts!

Hey, check out these cool layout I did in Staging class this term!
