Weight Lift Animation.

This has so far been quite challenging due to the design of my character. But challenging is good because it improves me for the better. Here is a look at some very basic and rough sketches of thumbnail ideas for my animation, and a mind map that i did prior to the sketches. Now it is onto keys. Wish me luck :)

Flour Sack Preview.

I have done more to the animation adding more frames and colour to the roughs for the gun. I have also added frames showing recoil when he fires the portal gun both times and to add to the feel of a heavy flour sack every time he lands on the box it makes the ground shake causing the portal gun to bounce off the ground. The GIF below is showing what i have done so far :) I will be doing more work on this as i go in my own time.

Flour Sack.

This time we are doing a Flour Sack Animation and what we are doing with this is animating a flour sack character of course and we get to animate it in anyway we like as long as it gets from A to B which is from the floor to on top of a box. The idea i have came up with is a Portal design inspired by my friend Angel he pitched the topic but i came up with the thumbnail sketches below and we had to do 5 and i made 4 different ones and the 5th was ideas from all 4 that i threw together into one final sequence that i like grabbing certain thumbnails from the other sequences. Also below is a Mind Map of the ideas me and some others had.

Animation for Chad.

Last week we were working on an animation for a mock up client called Chad and our team of 4 was assigned to make an action animation in regards to a mock up brand called serious soda. I was en charge of key clean ups, colour of the animation and the final composition of putting it all together. Let's just say i think a week wasn't long enough to accomplish a finished animation for submission.

Maxwell the Dog.

At first i was really struggling with Maxwell the Dog because i wasnt use to the idea of it and the concept and style, plus struggling with foreshortening. But After a while of looking at tips and references i managed to finally fix up and finish Maxwell, and even as a bonus i added a buttlerfly for him to follow and try to catch to bring more life to the animation :) Here is a gif but fair warning this is roughly done with no colour and at some point i will be fixing it and cleaning it up and adding colour like i do with all my animations :)
