3rd year Group Film - Beat Appetit'

2010-04-27T16:22:00.000-07:00

I just want to clarify that i did not do any of these backgrounds for the animation, several of my classmates in the group "The Chopping Block" did them to help out. So, thanks to Paul, Andrew, and Emily, Really Appreciate it. As far as the animation goes, i did all the animation for these scenes. There is one animation scene has 3 characters involved in the scene, i animated the dish boy tapping the pot, then leaves. The other chefs were done by other classmates.

The First Panel is actually the the Last Picture, then go up. Hopefully it will make more sense that way.

The Weight Lift and Toss Project
I chose a Wrestler Character tossing a trash can. Might not make sense to some people, but nowadays, some wrestlers use trash can to beat up their opponents in hardcore matches.
I thought i did pretty good considering this was my first character animation since 2003.

Art Fundamentals

2009-03-22T10:53:00.000-07:00

This was my final project for Ideas & Images. It was a very Interesting course to say the Least, a great teacher for sure. Not that it was easy, but Jack was a very inspiring teacher to say the least.
Anyways, the concept behind this is the evolution of man, everything that has come before man (The monkeys for example)working together to create the next evolutionary step in mankind, i ran out of time at the end, that's why it's a bad finish.

This was a final animation in our last semester, it was a group project (me and James Anderson) this was a concept that started in first year and this animation was also a part of out co-op project as well. Never got finished though

This three animation in one
the First is the Run Cycle
The Second part, we had to do a dance sequence, but what i attempted to do was have him training and look like he's dancing.
And the Third Part, is the Dialogue Scene, I asked one of my Teachers to do the voice
of the Grandfather Character, but after the recording sessions, he sounded like an old drunken Mexican, not what i was going for. So i did the voice myself and changed it using Pro Tools.

This is a group project film that I did with Steve Hawkins and George Munroe.
The concept is a group of people meet up with aliens who give them instructions to follow on how to create a pyramid. The rest is the process in how the pyramid is build, the deaths allow with the creation of the pyramid and the completion of the pyramid.

I forget the name of the course, but we had to do a one minute film using different medias
The opening was done in Maya, and the scene i based on our classroom at the time when we were taking digital animation
The second Opening was done in chalk and flash animation
The rest of this Animation is a combination of Flash Animation, Adobe Photoshop and Construction Paper, Color Pencils.
My favorite Scene is the Thief jumping through the laser security system.

This project was a pain in the butt as u can tell, everything was working till something happened to Maya Steve's arm and i couldn't fix it, so i just let it as is.
Well, what could i do, u can only ask your classmates for help for so long. And our teacher was no good. Well, the reason why is because she expected us all to know Maya before we were accepted into the program.....only one person out of 20 some students really understood the program. You do the Math

These are several digital paintings i did in second year, I'm really proud of these because i spent a lot of time and effort on them, and they came out pretty well.
These are some of my pictures from life drawing, the man with a cloth holding sticks in both hands took close to an hour. I have to say, that was the best model i had to work with, because he made it very easy to us in life drawing, no matter how long or how complicated the poses were, he wouldn't move till the time was up. So, for that pose, he never moved, impressive huh?
2 of the pictures near the bottom are images i did were done in Maya 3.0, it was pretty cool once u learn how Maya works, lol.

One of my other final projects for the first year of animation, i probably spent a month off and on, on this flash project. Not so much on the animation, but designing the backgrounds and characters. I had a lot of doing this project. I even got an award from a film festival that the college put on, and i didn't even entered. It got 3rd place.

Paper Cut-Out Animation entitled "The Battle."
This was a pretty simple project, several images and film it, moving each image a little each frame, making it look like it's actual animation

Warrbit Missile Scene

This is my favorite animation scene that i have done in the first year of digital animation. True Story - I told people what i wanted to do in this scene, they thought i was crazy, considering the deadlines and all, and couldn't be done. Being stubborn and all, I started and finished this scene in one night, 55 drawings, and tested it once. So i thought it worked out pretty well considering everything i said earlier.

I remember this animation really well, lol. oh, the glory days..haha
Okay, in the second semester of the first year, we had several final projects to do, for animation, we had to do a 15 second animation that consisted of some of the walk cycles that we already done. As u can tell, i went a bit over board, making this animation longer than i should off, considering i had had over projects to do as well. I worked on this animation for 2 weeks straight, only sleeping between 2-4 hours each day in those 2 weeks. Out of this 43 second animation, there are 2 scenes i like in particular, again, the superhero sitting down on the bar stool and the scene, where Warrbit (the Rabbit Robot) shoots an arsenal of missiles and guns.

"Escape the Room" Animation
Pretty much for this project, we had to animate a character walking down a flight of stairs and then trip and fall out of the scene. I know my animation doesn't follow the description i just wrote, but i had fun doing this particular animation, the farmer pretending to fall, and then jumps into the mud puddle, sending the pig flying out of the scene.

These are some digital paintings I did in a 2 year program called Digital Animation which is located in Truro, Nova Scotia. At first, I got really frustrated using Adobe Photoshop, cause I didn't know how to use it. But when my classmates, mostly one anyways (thanks Dave) showed me how the program worked, man, lets just say I was hooked, after i did the portrait of Triple H, a professional wrestler, i thought Photoshop was the greatest thing ever. I spent so much time working on these paintings, some more than others, and some of them i spent 30 hours on each.
