I had the pleasure of being able to animate in this short film with a team of talented artist at Walsh Family Media! It was a ton of fun animating these characters! :)
The Shots I have worked on is the animation for the Butterfly, First yellow character with binoculars, Blue guy who hits his head with the door, Yellow guy with flash light on his head, Red Alphie character saying "Well They've arrived!", Blue Girl character dancing and zipping off screen, Red Alphie character thinking then saying "I got it!"
Im working on a personal project that should be a lot of fun! Here is a test model and rig to see how it looks. Still a lot of tweaks and fixes needed to be made on the model so I can start texturing after.
A 3D see through creature I made as a test for some music visuals but I may use him for a music video I was planning on though I dont have the music to animate to yet.
Large Drawing I did with color pencils for my little niece and nephew's room. Im going to create more of these large size color pencil drawings. Also thinking about creating the monkeys in 3d. Should be fun to animate.
I find it funny how much I have learned by looking back at my old animations. Most of them where done 2006-2007 while studying computer animation at school.
This was my very first animation done with sound where I had to animate a character acting and talking.
Here is a rough animatic to help visualize the story better without the sound yet. I will be drawing the panels over again with better clearer drawings and camera angles, composition, adding more shots needed, and adding more movement to help visualize camera movements and ideas for the way the short will be animated.
Its a sunny day in a little town just outside the city. Kids playing and people working. Suddenly a storm comes in and its starts pouring rain. A window in one of the apartments starts to flash. Inside the apartment lives a happy little family. Mom is out shopping for groceries and left her son of 7 years and daughter of 3 at home. The big brother is frustrated that its raining and he cant go out to play. His little sister is watching her favorite show but it annoys his brother so he changes the channel to watch a monster movie. The brother gets so excited from the monster in the movie he wants to be just like the monster destroying buildings so he start to act like a monster. The brother takes his sisters favorite baby doll and rips it peaces and his sister cries out in terror. The brother realizes what he has done and gets a flash back remembering one time he broke his sister barbie doll. His sister just had to scream out the magic words and he would get a mean spanking from their mom. So she screams "MOMMMYYYY!!!!!!" and the mom spanks the brother. The boy is snapped back to reality and the TV catches his attention again. It shows a super hero defeating the monster and saving the day. So the boy grabs a cape and plays hero. He fixes the baby and puts it back together again and hands it to his little sister. Everything seems like a happy ending until Mom is returns home. The boy begs his sister not to tell on him. The sister reassures him and give him a thumbs up letting him know she wont tell. But she then she turns her thumb upside down and gets ready to scream. The boy turns pale white in fear as his sister turns red with anger. She takes a deep breath and screams. "MOMMMYYYY!!!!!!" Then it cuts to the credits where you hear the brother being spanked. THE END
Sculpture I made with sculpy and acrylic paint for my brother who asked me if I can make him a pencil cup to put on his desk for his new job in Chicago.
Here is a short animation I created way back in early 2007 for a website. This was my first freelance job where I was asked to create a short commercial which took two months for me to finish. The original characters designs were made by Animator Kiel Figgins.
Here is a clown I'm making for a test. Just did a render with him for fun. 8) I'm going to start doing some game animation cycles and emotions this week!
I'm making a cartoony game clown character test for gaming. The limits for this game character are only 50 joints, 2500 triangles, and one 1024x1024 texture map with a Diffuse, a Normal and a Specular map. When I'm done rigging him I am going to animate some cycles and different emotions. Its going to be a ton of fun animating him! :D
One of my favorite things to do to relieve any stress or to take my mind of things is to just pick up a piece of clay and sculpt something out of it without much planing. Just sculpt anything and move the clay freely to see what creature comes up! Here are a few little monsters I made for fun! :D
