Moved!

I doubt that many people actually read my blog in the first place, so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get linked here from my old location on wordpress.

I had some customization issues on wordpress, and you know what, I don't feel like paying to do custom stuff I should be able to do for free. So I ended up here. Within 20 minutes I got the page to look more or less how I want it to (well, I'm gonna tweak it some more when I get home later), and I can fit my custom drawn logo on it! None of the stupid wordpress free layouts had a big enough banner area for it to fit, nor did it let me tweak the CSS code to make it fit. Bastards.

Anyways, I hope from this point on in, the blog flows smoothly. I plan on keeping it up throughout my time in Animation Mentor and hopefully after as well. Peace.

Hey what's up minimal readership? I'm finally done with my first animation for my second class. But first, I'll rewind a bit. My new mentor for this class is Martin Hopkins. He is trained in classical animation from Sheridan College and has transitioned into 3D, with his entire professional career pretty much at Dreamworks Animation for the last 13 or so years. He is currently working on Shrek 4, which he claims isn't as bad as you would think and is better than Shrek 3; which I haven't seen. So far he has been pretty great. He sometimes gets out of his chair and acts out something on the camera for you to see instead of just relying on drawing over our frames. His inputs have gotten me from my initial blocking pass up to the polish of the final (although he hasn't seen that yet). Anyways, here is my progress from blocking to final: You might also find this pretty interesting. After we set some keyframes, this is what we use to refine and polish our animations. ...

Walkcycle

Well before Lost, I completed my 2nd go at a basical walk cycle. It's missing some in-betweens but I just wanted to get those steps down first before I tried anything else. It's in the gallery. But here it is anyways. [caption id="attachment_56" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walkcycle #2"] [/caption]  Based off the guide from the Animator's Survival Kit.
