TVPaint

Trying out TVPaint, the it software for animation. I need to get my head around it,
so here's a test walk cycle for a character for one of my assignments.

Monster Lipsync Exercise

the title says it all. my favourite class excercise EVER! :)

new stuff!

pre-production sketches for an upcoming animation project, stay tuned! :)

Kinetic Typography - Pinocchio (Shrek)

one of my favourite exercises ever — kinetic typography! :)
the audio clip is taken from Shrek 3 when Pinocchio was interrogated by Prince Charming and his band of villains.

Everybody Needs A Best Friend - Kleenex ad campaign

here's a video i helped a friend to do for his advertising campaign for his final project. just some simple stuff but it did make me realize how i miss doing motion graphics :)

Rusaboy

We were given an after effects assignment to make a videoclip for any song.
I chose a song called "Francis" by a talented franco-canadian chanteuse who goes by the name of Coeur de Pirate.

The animation is loosely based on the lyrics, she is talking about a guy she used to know named Francis. Though they don't see each other anymore, she still remembers him. Kind of bittersweet. The deer (rusaboy) plays Francis, wandering around the girls mind.
This is only a part of the song. For the full song you can check it out here.

P.S. the video is originally high quality but since the video uploader for this blog is kinda crap, please bear with me, yeah? :3

CARMA

first ever stop motion :)
a group project with my old classmates, eve and ana in 2009.
was loads of fun doing it. you can never go wrong with silly ideas and good buddies.
always wanted to do another stop motion, a personal project, but haven't had the time to do so yet.

for now, hope you can enjoy this one!

in an older post, i once posted some pictures of a 3d model
i was working on at the time.

here is the continuation of the same project :
the blendshape a.k.a. facial expressions.
with this step done, my character can do
"oohs" "aaahs" and "ooh la las" :)

the final animation was done ages ago actually, i'll try to post it soon!

Dory's Rant

Dory's rant from the awesome Finding Nemo.
this was done as a warm up before doing a school project.
we had to get an audio clip from an actual movie and do a kinetic typo out of it.
before doing the real deal i decided to start out with a short clip.
even though it was my first time but i enjoyed doing it very much! ♥

eve and the rice sack

second video post! enjoy :)

two negatives does equal a postive sometimes :)

1st negative : i DON'T like using Maya, 3D animation isn't really my thing
2nd negative : i DON'T like cats at all, call me weird but that's how it is

i'm using a cat as my character* for my recent maya assignment
and it actually looks pretty OK :)
i'll be so glad when this is all over
but i think i can actually have a bit of fun with it - yay!

*why did i do a cat then, you wonder?
well, i kinda had an almost immediate idea for the storyline and only a cat would make my story work.. hahaaa..
it has something to do with a mouse.. i'll try to post the video once it's done next week! :)

the rice sack and the orange

i've been trying for ages to get my animation videos uploaded on this blog but i haven't been successful..
so i resized this into a much smaller file..

est voilà!




this is my first ever hand drawn animation :)
it's my favourite due to it's simplicity and probably just for sentimental reasons since it's one of my first..
despite the rather poor quality, i hope you like it!
