Showing Weight In Animation.

Showing weight in animation is a key attribute which highlights reality and enhances 

believably, which is incredibly important. This week we have been asked to create a short animation of a character picking up an object to show weight. We could use any animation technique and i decided to use traditional 2D draw animation. In all I used 150 individual drawings. 

Sea Test

In anticipation for our upcoming major group project to do with the sea, we've been asked to do a basic

sea animation test, in any medium. I haven't used flash very much so I thought id give it ago.

I have to to say it was very quick to use, and a very efficient way of animating (even though it was a very rough and crude animation) 

First Flash animation

This is my first attempt at creating an animation in flash. Its just a 2 second lip sync but it took a while. Im not  sure about this program yet, so ill have to give it a few more trys.

Sketchbook Update

Nothing to really say here, just a quick sketchbook update. Been playing around with some new techniques and stuff, thought I'd share. (Sorry if some are repeats)

Henrich Kley Project

Just a quick post. This is our most recent drawing project task, which was basically to create 3 concept drawings (with back up works) which shows people in our of proportion surroundings. I really enjoyed this project, and for the final of the 3 pieces I decided to experiment alittle and try out my new graphics  tablet which i havent really used yet, so found it alittle hard, but gave it ago. Anywhere, here they are: 

Showreel

So today is the day I create my first showreel. Showreels are hugely important, as they are essentially you portfolio - but moving! I know I will eventually use one to sell myself to companies and employers alike, so I have tried hard to make this as professional as I can. All of the animation used if from my first semester here at Falmouth University, so its obviously not well-planned polished work, it simply shows my development from starting out knowing nothing of Maya to where I currently am (which is still not very far). I particularly enjoy my 2D work here, and the lip sync which is my most recent bit of work in Maya. 

So here it is, it isn't much, but its mine:
