New Dialogue Shot!

I just finished my first dialogue animation in AM! I still think there are many things that could be improved, but I'll leave that for the "Polishing and Portfolio" class next term... For now, I compiled another demo reel that I'll be taking to CTN Animation Expo next month! Can't wait!!

Nice!!

Temporary 2011 Demo-Reel

Hey there!! Here's a demo-reel I've put together while working on my dialogue shots. It has the body mechanics shots I most liked from class 1 to 4. I'll update it with my dialogue shots and maybe some other mechanics shots as soon as I finnish them. Hope you enjoy! =)

1 YEAR!

Hey it's my birthday again! And if you remember, my last birthday was also my first day at Animation Mentor! So, after 1 year, I'm glad to say I'm just as happy as I was in the first day about being in this school! It's AWESOME! Class 5 just started and soon I'll have a full dialogue shot (monologue actually) to share here! Meanwhile, here's my pantomime shot from class 4. Cheers!

YouAnimator

Yesterday I found a website called youanimator and decided to register. I uploaded 3 of my class 2 animations and today I received an email saying I was highlighted in the main page! That's totally awesome! =D

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!!

No, I didn't forget about this blog! Thing is: I don't wanna post a lot of WIPs here anymore, so I was waiting for my class 3 shots to be finished to post them. And, as you can figure by now, none of them got really "finished". =(

The good news is that, I'm finally finishing them and I'll post soon! So, if you thought that this blog was abandoned, rest assured that it was not! =)

Cheers!

Class 2 Progress Reel!

So, without any further delay, here's my Class 2 Progress Reel!:



As you can see, there are some rendered versions of the animations I already posted here, as well as all my class 1 animations. Thanks for watching! =D

Hopscotch Splined

This is the hopscotch animation splined. It is the last assignment for Class 2! I still feel that it needs some adjustments, but Class 2 is over now, so, if I ever come back to it, it will be in a while, maybe after class 3 is over, cause we starting right away next week! Woot!! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

Hopscotch

Ok, so I'm doing a hopscotch animation for my final Class 02 assignment! Wow! this is going sooo fast! It is the first assignment with a full character (Stewie) with legs, spine and arms! Great! So here is the blocking pass, any comment, leave a comment! (hehe):

Week 7

Ok, so this is the final version of the "Fall" animation. If you're wondering why no week 6 post, I can explain (hehe): Week 6 was this same animation in rough spline, so I decided to wait a little more and show the final version instead. Hope you like it! Here it is:

Week 5

So, in one single video, the week 5 assignment aaaand the Kick Ball revision:

Week 4

So here it is, the polishing pass:

Week 3

So this is my week 3 assignment:



As you can see, I changed the camera and worked the poses more. I have a lot more poses now which is gonna make the transition to spline a lot easier. Still some things to adjust before doing that though. Hope you all like how it's coming along! Any suggestions, leave a comment! =D Thanks!

Hey Blog! Week 2!!!

Oh! Yes yes... the BLOG!! Class 2 is at full speed now and I should be posting something already!!! My apologies for that... Actually, week 1 was practically just the Progress Reel that is already here... so, I think it's ok to start off with WEEK 2!

In week 2, we get to pick from a list of several different options to animate. I chose "Kick a ball".

So here it is, first blocking pass for the "Kick Ball" Assignment:

Week 12

So, without further delay, here's week 12 assignment: The Progress Reel!
