Back to it!

It's been a while since I've able to animate or get online!
I've moved twice in the last month so finally settled!
So first things first, back to animating.
Haven't animated for over a month, suprising how hard it can be to get back into it.
Anyways I love animating animals so thought I'd give a dog walk a go first!
Will be uploading lots of stuff over the next few weeks, so keep an eye :D

Graduate Show Reel 2009

Tired

Just a bit of fun!!
Keys from Eric Goldbergs amazing book, Character Animation Crash Course!!!
This is how I feel right now!!
Time for bed I think!

Mime

As part of my Showreel Production I'm animating a 'mime' sequence where a character goes through a 'physical' change!
I wont explain whats happening in the scene, hopefully it'll come across :D
This is only a rough block with a little timing just with the tangents set to flat!

Walk Of Confidence

Had a go at doing a confident walk!
Had trouble with the arms, not sure whats wrong with them!!
But heres it without the arms :)

If I manage to sort the arms i'll upload it again!

Digital Tutors!

Got myself a copy of Digital Tutors Animating Quadrupeds :D Very cool DVD!
This is what I managed to produce after going throught the tutorial :D

Production Begins!!!

Production on our showreels started yesterday :D Finally animating again...Pre-Production took a while!!
Anyway thought it would be cool to upload some of the work i've done since yesterday.
I'm aiming to upload my progress as I go along!

So far I've managed to block out two of my Stage 1 animations, a biped walk and a quad run!
I've literally just changed the curves on the biped from stepped to spline, so a lot of work needs doing to it! For the quad run I decided to try animating with my tangent handles set to flat for a change and it seems to look ok so far!
