Film 1 Movie Unedited

Basically, this is my first film ever/my first claymation ever. It's totally unedited, I will probably edit it twice-- once traditionally (this will be handed in in class) and once on the computer (just shown on the podcast). That's really basically it. The assignment was to do a portrait. This is pretty obvious once you watch it. I had originally started with a structural film dealing with single frames but it evolved into this. I had some problems with the lighting, I think I didn't compensate enough for the light lost doing a single frame. Also some issues w/ the tripod moving, the plate was really screwed up.

Claymation step by step

This Podcast basically goes into detail about my first Film AND first claymation all in one. It briefly touches on my progress in computer animation (which is basically nill). There are plenty of photos from my shoot and descriptions of how I did stuff. It dicusses what to expect in my next couple of episodes as well.

Vintage Animation

Last year's final project for Computer Animation 1, "Poo Poo Pile of Love." It's about a fly who finds his true love on garbage day. It made it into pixelnation 06'. Looking back it has a number of problems, but in the alloted amount of time I did the best I could. I especially hate the transitions (white flashes). I hadn't really figured out after effects at the time. Another problem is the compression. This is my first real computer animation project- all in all I'm pretty darn proud of it.

Movie of New Character Model

This is a 360˚ rotation of my new character. There are some issues with this model, including the texture on the boots. I believe the reflectivity got turned up accidently. The textures in general are just a rough idea of what they will be.

Modeling in Maya

This podcast will very briefly touch on my claymation disaster in Film1, including pictures of the scrapped sculpture. After, it goes into the concept narrative for my new animation project (Feedback on this would be great!). Afterwards, it goes into a bit of modeling in maya including screencaps of my project to go along w/ the text. In a nut shell, it finishes with the modeling of my first character.
