Weeks 8, 9 and 10

2009-09-09T00:16:00.000-07:00

Well it's time to catch up. I was going to put all these in separate post but why waste time with words and formatting. Here are all the weeks up to the current.

p.s. after class 1 is done I'll be putting up a whole run of all the work in one video.

Week 9 - PlainWalk from d C on Vimeo.

Week 10 - Character Walk (rough draft) from d C on Vimeo.

Week 6 - Pendulum

2009-08-27T20:51:00.000-07:00

I started this project with a more complicated idea in mind. 1st I did a couple of tests. I moved the brick shape in a circle then a figure 8. Then on to the project itself

It was getting close to completion and I realized that I had become too ambitious so I went back to my original figure 8 test and refined it to make it my final assignment. And here's the final version

Week 7 - Tailor jumping around

2009-08-27T20:32:00.000-07:00

Here are the final animation and the revision of the final animation from week 7

Week 7 - The Leap from d C on Vimeo.

...and the revision. There are very subtle differences but it was definitely worth the revision. The anticipation of the 1st jump was slightly extended and the tail now hits the level after the big jump rather than just bouncing above it.

Here's the newest. Week 5 - Obstacle Course, ooooohhh.

2009-08-01T10:00:00.000-07:00

This the 2nd to last version before I turn it in. There are some things to tweak but it's mostly working

Final Bouncing Ball Revision

2009-07-28T17:16:00.000-07:00

Revision to 2nd week post

2009-07-24T15:46:00.000-07:00

This is the version after all the student and mentor critiques were taken into account. Not much was changed. Mainly the tilt of the head, the position of the right arm was moved to strengthen the silhouette and the left leg was tweaked a little.

1st Version of 2nd Week pose

2009-07-24T15:29:00.000-07:00

I forgot to put this up when I first did it. This is the 1st pose we did with our "Stu" character.

Excitement (with costume)

2009-07-24T15:21:00.001-07:00

I'm not sure if I like how the arms are posed but. I modeled the dress all by myself. Not bad for 15 mins.

Final heavy/light animation...I hope

2009-07-24T15:13:00.000-07:00

1st and 2nd version of this week assignment

2009-07-23T08:04:00.000-07:00

And here's the 2nd version added with rotation and some timing changes (thanks to my classmates for the feedback).

Final Bouncing Ball animation

Here it is...in all it's glory. We'll see what Mentor Chad has to say about it.

Final Excitement Pose Render

2009-07-19T00:29:00.000-07:00

Comments are appreciated

...and the poses to match

Current Bouncing Ball - Before Feedback

2009-07-16T23:00:00.000-07:00

Here's the 1st version. I got a lot of good feedback and I'm just going to wait a little longer to see if I can get some more before I start fixing. So far all the comments are of the same vein so it should be easy to fix.

Here it goes...a newer/better version should be coming soon

Animation to watch

2009-07-16T22:45:00.000-07:00

I just watched "The Jungle Book". That's some good stuff. I've noticed that they recycle some animation (the snake charming parts, and little things here and there) but it doesn't diminish the movie as a whole. I'm still amazed at the fluidity and character that animators packed in there. There's no character that could move like any of the others. They all have there distinct movements and attitudes.

I'm rewatching a lot of that old stuff. It's all part of keeping my batteries charged and reveling in the artistry of the classics
