Wallace and Gromit

Just picked up the Blu-ray of the entire collection yesterday. It contains the films "A Grand Day Out", "The Wrong Trousers", "A Close Shave", and "A Matter of Loaf and Death". I've definitely seen the first two, and I think I've seen the third as well. It also contains a whole bunch of "Cracking Contraptions" shorts and behind-the-scenes documentaries.

I hadn't seen any of these in a while, and saw that there was a Blu-ray released this week a couple of days ago. I then watched a few of those "Cracking Contraptions" shorts on youtube and was instantly reminded how amazing these guys are. They all excel in story, humor, and animation. The ridiculousness of Wallace and the emotion you get out of Gromit is something to admire.

If you haven't seen any of their stuff before I really really recommend watching them. It's something everyone should have in their lives.

To Add or Not to Add...

Well I couldn't think of a real good topic for a second post quite yet, so this is going to be pretty boring. I know no one has read my blog yet at this point, which is fine considering it's been up for like a day. I haven't really even told anyone about it. Stealthily put the link up on my various profiles. I'm sure someone will stubmble upon it at some point. Anyways, I was pondering whether or not I wanted to add another page. It would be somewhat of a portolio, but not formal or anything. Just some drawings or pictures that I might want to share. But at the same time, I've got my DeviantART page linked over on the side, so having a gallery on here would be kind of redundant. Eh, I might as well anyways. It never hurts to give myself a little more exposure. It's settled then! A new page will be added....at some point. I need to gather a few pictures that I think might be cool to put up here, and find a decent free host to put them up on. I guess for the time ...

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.
