Week 1 28.02.12. 11 Keys !

Hey !!

This is our week one exercise from our class with Joe. The task was to find a observe an action of an athelete and key the most important 11 keys and time it convincingly. It isnt roto-scoped, we just paused on our chosen frames and drew them on paper, then later drew over my drawings in flash because we needed to upload to Vimeo.
I thought you'd like to know what we're up to Frank. :)

3 EAPS DOWN. ANOTHER EAP BITES THE DUST... who needs sleep anyway these days?

revised/corrected blog post

ePortfolio Design

Thought I'd blog it incase it gets lost !
My harddrive has had a bad habbit lately of literally eating my homework. :(

Thought this was funny !

very clever use of 2D 3D and live action :)

Long time no post

This is todays assement item. The line test for a rough run cycle of our character in our chosen program. Mine is in flash and is a little bit over exaggerated for my liking. It's too striding and confident for a blindfolded character running through an unkown environment ! but feel free to add your opinion as a comment pretty please. Tim already suggest (and I agree) that the spacing is too even.

colour choices and proportion

Some fairly bad ps work. but ohwell. I will try a few more/ different colour combinations soon

eye farts !...oh, I mean darts.

this one has a blink in it aswell. last week i trialed a blink in 3D, so this week i decided to try one in 2D :)
I must say, the hairy salami helped me learn today. thanks Heidster ♥

blinkety blinky

So this is my EYEBLINK. in real life i can only keep my eyes open and not blink for 30 seconds..unlike Jaxon..... hahaha
I like this eyeblink because the pupil leads it and the eyebrows also respond to the action adding more emotion. i added the head turn after becasuse it looked much too static with the head staying still. it looked like he was looking at something and the head needed to lead towards it.

Moth Flight

This is for the lovely Ian :) BUTTERFLIES


and also, wing shapes

This is my Shadow Casting Three point lighting

Finally ! Sorry for the wait !!!

I EVEN EAT DISNEY BREAD

SO committed to Disney and so easily distracted from my assignment I decided to go eat...again.
On my expedition to the kitchen I found THESE. ! Tigger rolls. Scrumptious... please note : no tiggers were hurt in the making of this post.... they were eaten too quickly to feel any pain.
:)

matte painting abstract background

okkk. my matte painting !

late post from last week

last week i couldnt post ! so here it is.. this is three point lighting with a green screen for my matt paint :)

After effects fail !

Ew awful attempt in After Effects. It seemed like the most simple exericse ever and I thought i'd have it done in NO time. But it feels like i havent slept in weeks and as such... voila .. crapola !

walk pose after walk poseeeee after WALK POSE

This is my walk pose from today :)

Contact Pose

Finally !
For some weird reason my computer was freezing and having issues with videos (not convinient when you're trying to rotoscope haha) this is my contact pose. But i just realised that i forgot my LINE OF ACTION. my line of action is fairly vertical, which is quite static because my character is not moving at great speed and is un aware of what is infront of her.

TALKING CATZ !!

Well Frank I thought of you and your two feline accomplices when I watched this video. so I thought i'd share it with everyone ahahaha. its sooo good :)



youll see what I mean ..

Once again fiddilng in the Graph Editor, to Ian's joy and much to our disgust...

This is our snowman (kindly rigged by Ian himself) reacting to one Spike Milligan hahaha something that none of us had heard about. Us young whipersnappers. haha
