Characters for my 1-Quarter

It's time to make another film!!!! I have 10 weeks to complete this project, much like my "Shiny" film from last year. I spent most of spring break coming up with ideas and characters, and I believe I'm going to use these two. Let's see what comes out of this!

Pre-Production Animatic

Back in the fall, I made an animatic for my Pre-Production Class. Finally got it online

Keying Project

Here's a project involving green screened footage. We used After Effects to composite, which isn't the best in the world for compositing, but I did what I could. The guy is composited into the background.

Drawn Animation: Sequences

My Drawn Animation Work for the Sequences Class on Vimeo

Oh man, so I survived yet another of Nancy Beiman's classes. There are 3 exercises here, a ball throw, lip sync, and a four-legged creature. That one is rushed because we ran out of time. Oh well.

Apple iPhone GUI's

Apparently, the Apple iPhone is going to have a video conferencing function that Apple has not designed a GUI (Graphic User Interface) for yet. We had to animate how it would work, using both a modern design and an "old-school" design.

Image Adjustments

This is another of my first attempts at something. We were supposed to practice our post production skills and create a completely new look and feel for previously recorded images and footage. Just how a normal cinematographer and special effects editor would in the industry. And, once again, we used After Effects. I know some aren't successful, but for my first try I think I did ok : )

Haunted House

In this assignment we took at least three different effects from After Effects and made a short, segmented animation showcasing these effects. We couldn't just have a scene with effects thrown in, either, whatever effect we chose had to "add" to the scene.

News Logo

Okay, I admit it....I sorta rushed this one. But its passable. Its supposed to be an intro to a news segment, like what you would see on the Daily Show or Colbert Report.

Window Project

In this project, we were supposed to use masks, blending modes, and track mattes in order to create "window-like" effects.

Earth in Danger!!!!

Earth in Danger!!! on Vimeo

Yet another After Effects project. It was very open ended: the only parameters were that an immense threat was hurtling unstoppable towards the earth and something intervenes to save it. I guess my interpretation is a bit out there...

Assembly Line

A new project from my 2D Animation Class. Everything was created in Photoshop and animated in After Effects.

BUBBLE

This is my first aniamtion for the 2006 Winter Quarter. I did it in 2 hours so its really simple...but I still love it!!!

Intro to 3D Modeling Final

My first human model in Maya. There are some flaws, but for the most part I'm happy with it for my first attempt.

I remembered what I named it.....The Balizuma!!!!

Right, so here is my creature. I've been working on him for about a week, and last night I didn't sleep. lol. I would like to thank Kinko's for being awesome and open at 4:30 in the morning, and also, the crazy kid who stayed up late and accompanied me. Lol : )

Animation Pre-Production

Whew!!! This is a culmination of everything that I have done in my pre-production class aside from my script and storyboards. I've really been working hard and I think the payoff is well worth it. What I've put here are my character designs with different emotion, as well as scale reference and color tests. I also have designs for a few key props and the 3 layouts for this little world. There is a possibility of one more scene layout coming, so check back in a week or so to see!

And fish...again.....

So, here I am thinking I never want to look at another fish ever again after last spring, when my next 3D modeling project is a NURBS fish. I figure it must be my destiny to make fishy things. lol. Well, after much texturing frustration, here he is.

3D Modeling

Here are my first two projects from my 3D MOdeling class in Maya. Nothing spectacular...but I sure am proud of them :)

Stuff from last year

I found some mor eprojects that I did last fall and early winter.

Star

I colored one of those sketches

Various things

Here are my new sketches from my weekend at my friend's bay house. As you can tell, there were some ocean-like things on my mind. Maybe I'll color some of them later.
