workshop 1 progress reel

Since it was due yesterday anyway, here's my iAnimate Workshop 1 Progress Reel.
It's some pretty basic stuff, but I might as well post it! One more assignment in Workshop 1, though. I'll post it when it's done if it looks alright ;)

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.

Film look

This is what I'm shooting for my film's animation to look like, for that kind of sketchy feel since cleaning up my whole film really isn't an option and I've gotten excited for this look already so never mind cleanup.

And my main bg for the film, most of my other shots are cutting in closer to this one, which is great cause I'm not a fan of drawing layouts :p Yet I'll need to figure out how to make them match with my animation, so they'll have some kind of sketchy feel to them as well.

workflow test

This is a workflow test for my film, but although I would love for it too look like this throughout, I know I won't have the time, so I'm going to find a way to make the rough animation work as a final look, which will give me a tiny bit more time to focus on the animation itself.

flipbook and lip sync

So being in the hot sun for a week was sweet B) It was so hard to get anything done there though, so absolutely nothing was accomplished. Except getting a really badly uneven tan. Oi.

Flipbook time came around again; here's this years page from me.. all these drawings have been posted on my blog somewhere already.













And my human lip sync, which I will say is a wip, cause I didn't finish putting some inbetweens in at the end there and I want to finish it up to be presentable. Madam Mim from Disney and dialog of Witch Hazel.

Okay, so the fortune teller woman now has a name; Colette Molier (Mol-ee-ay), "Madame Molier" or sometimes called Madame Mole.








And so she was used for my weight lift and toss assignment, which was fun to do, but oh so very time-consuming x) It's not fully done though, and I would definitely like to animate her again sometime.



**edit**
I needed to re-upload this onto youtube cause I was watching it over and noticed I held the wrong frame when she's lifting the ball. Oi, and I handed it in like that too O_o;

I thought I might post my flipbook page, as most of the stuff on it hasn't been posted here.





My Bear walk cycle, which I'm only really fond of the front legs/shoulders



And my Shere Khan head rotation/meow. I wanted to finish it up completely, but I don't know if I'll ever get to it... (delayed sound 8( )

Alright. Box fold assignment from last term, and the pink panther from the beginning of this term.



I don't like my PP too much, but it's gotta be shown together with my second one...


The second, and better, Pink Panther >8) Don't even ask.

My second attempt at the ball and tail. Looks so much better than the first 8)
