scar test

Leaving for CTN in a few days!
Really excited, it's going to be awesome! :D

I did a really short dialogue test before leaving for LA since I currently don't have any dialogue in my reel. Tried it out on paper, but got really frustrated, I think because I didn't know how I wanted to compose the animation, so I tried it out in flipbook and just went with it.

Keys and breakdowns are pretty easy in flipbook, though inbetweening gets a little hard :/
But I like how quickly I was able to do the animation, so I'm definitely going to do some more tests in flipbook.

He's off-model in places, and I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it was fun, so I'm posting it.

  3. Thanks guys!

    Kate, maybe next year? :D You and Ben should go sometime, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourselves!

    Ramona, I watched a few of the Scar scenes and made my own model sheet for him (which looks pretty lame, btw, I just loosely traced some screenshots :p), but my TLK dvd doesn't work on my computer, OR on my bluray player, which sucks, so I didn't reference it as much as I should have or wanted to.

  11. just stumbled accross your blog and thought i'd say hi.
    love this wee test of Scar.. its a really good effort.
    I like the subtle head turns and mouth movements.

    I was working at CTN. I was the british girl sharing a booth with Craig Elliott. It was a very last miniute decision to fly out to LA, as Craig invited me, just 5days before the show started, so i didn't have with me.
    I'll be at comic con this year along side Craig, and plan to have a booth at CTN also, so maybe see you there??

    Keep up the great work!!
    All the best,

    Tcat.x
