Work in Progress 4

Work in progress 3

Work in progress 2

a little more worked out...

Work in progress

Here's a little piece I'm working on.
Posed out all the keys and a few breakdowns.
It'll make more sense when I get a little bit further into it with all the effects and stuff.
Next step is to add more breakdowns and adjust timing.

Been working on the rail roads

Been a while since my last post. Been pretty busy with work. I've been working on the rail roads.
The hours and days have been super long, but I think the DVD we've been working on at Nitrogen Studios is finished. I feel I have a bit more breathing room now. The work isn't over yet, though. We're continuing production on the episodes now. The schedule seems more loose...a little bit. But I think I'll have time to revisit some old projects I've started a while back.

Jilted

11 Second Club, January competition.

Transcript

My third attempt at animation in Maya. I decided to try the 11 second club competion but I think I was 20 minutes late with the submittion. Guess we'll see...

Learning Maya II : Only Smaller

My curves in this one is much better. I think I'm getting the hang of it. Lip sync could use some work and of course there are lots I can still improve. The character rig is from Highend3d.com.
The voice is Mike Myers from The Love Guru. The silly joke doesn't really make sense but I found it funny anyway. Ahhhh...

Learning Maya

Here is my first Maya 3D animation. I figured I need to get with the times and delve into virtual three dimensional space.
I got the free character rig from www.highend3d.com. The piggie prop I just threw together quickly for affect. The voice is Worf from Star Trek that I found on the net somewhere.
There are a million tweaks that could still be done. The curves are in quite a mess but I think I now have a good idea on how to manage them better for next time. Learning is fun!
So, I leave you with this while I continue onto my next self imposed assignment.

Tea Break

Long time no post.
Here is some work in progress.

Partners

Still working at illustration with Photoshop.
I'm not super happy with the lighting in this one and the perspective is pretty off. But I've had enough of it.
Moving on...

Caretaker

Thought I would practice illustration. Several days' work.

Experimenting with grey scale

Reduce, Reuse, Re-purpose

(work in progress)
Just in time for Earth Day.
Spring.
I decided to put aside for the moment some of my larger projects and start this one. It's an addition to my demo reel, a short little piece. You'll have to wait and see what becomes of it.

A bit of fun

Just having some fun and practice. The Gods know I need it... both.

Yada

Still trying. A little more stylized.

Some more

A few more roughs. I think maybe some proportions are off?

Something new-ish

I never claimed to be a character designer but here's a rough for a new-ish short film idea. It's something that has been floating around in my head for the last few years. Hopefully it will progress further than this. There are a couple more designs I'll have to struggle through.
Comments and critiques welcome.

My Toons

Well, I didn't win the contest. But I did make top 10 in the "Super Star" category. Good enough, I suppose. It was a fun little project to get absorbed in.

Mytoons.com Bumper Blast Off Contest

Here it is. My contest submission finally done! Done as in I'm not going to put any more work into. It took me almost 4 weeks to complete this silly thing. Let's see where this 15 second piece gets me.

Something new

Here's a peek at something new, work still in progress.

Student FIlm

This was created during my studies at Vancouver Film School in the Classical Animation program 2005/2006. It took about 5 months to create. Whew!
