CA-Quadfecta

My latest assignment in computer animation. We used a character that was already modeled and rigged and made it point, walk, turn and take. This is what we have been working since the semester started along with creating ideas and characters for another assignment, our sit stand. I'll post up my designs and story for the sit/stand once I finish them. This semester has been pretty busy even thought I have been told that this s the easier semester. It feels just as hard, bu maybe that is because I am taking 18 credit hours...

End of semester dump

These are all the projects I have done at the end of this semester and some animatcs I haven't put up.

This Is the last animatic I did for Concept class. We created our own story based on the idea "something wants some of your food". We then had to create our own story and characters with model sheets and everything. One thing I need to add to this piece is some music.

These are some animatics from the middle of the semester where we had to take 3 flatly staged panels, make them more dynamic and add our own story to it. These really helped me in creating interesting and effective shots in my animatics.

This is my Simple Poly project for computer animation. We had to create a simple polygon character with legs and make him walk and jump. I made a big improvement in my animation with these exercises.

And this is our last assignment in Traditional Animation. The whole class created a collaborative dance where each of our characters would come on screen, do a little dance, and transition creatively to the next character. this was a fun simple little project and it was a nice way to end the semester. This is just my dance. I'm not sure when we will get the video with the whole class's dance on it.

Gift of the Magi

Our first project in concept class. (I did this before the frog.) We took a portion of Steve Martin's version of The Gift of the Magi and did an animatic. The voices are Rebeca Parham and Ben Jones, classmates. Its not all that great but it was a good experience. We learned a lot about story boarding in this project. I have A LOT to improve on. And that is why I go to school.

Frogs

Animatic for a frog scene that was originally flat. we had to make the moments more dynamic and add a bit of a story to it. This is for Concept Development. This class with Karen Sullivan is kicking my butt, but I am learning a lot so it is for the best.

Primitive Theater

My second Computer animation! In this we had to animate two primitive shapes. There weren't any strict guidelines as for what the shapes were or how they interacted. So I made a dude (that's what he is called in my Maya file) and an iDog. Its not the best ever but it made lot of progress since started. Later on in the year I will fix a few things that were mentioned in the critique.
