Character Design with Craig Kellman

This is the result from a fantastic week with Craig Kellman! He is just an awsome teacher and we had so much fun. I really hope that he will come to The Animation Workshop again sometime.

My character is based on the naked Sphynx cats and i really love how silly they are. I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Week 10 - Light, Texture and Render

This week we have been rendering from Maya and compositing in Fusion. Here are some frames from the animation.
I had a lot of trouble with the lighting and especially the curtains. I did not have time to fix it in Maya so i tried to fix it in compositing. Maya can be so strange sometimes and i still don't really understand what i did wrong.

Week 8 - Light. Texture and Render

Oliver is back to teach us about lighting, texturing and then render. 3 weeks in total. The assignment is to make a time-lapse in a room. This is my room. I still need to fix some stuff like the curtains.


Update:

Week 5 - Storyboard

Week 5 of our 2. semester was storyboarding with Tod Polson. I really enjoyed it and look forward to be doing more storyboarding in the future.
Our first assignment was a short animatic. We were to make a commercial for popsicles with a space theme. We were given the characters and some backgrounds. I worked with Ida and it was really fun :)



The other main assignment was storyboarding of "The Hound" by H.P. Lovecraft. My seaquence was when the narrator returned to Holland and descovered the amulet was missing. He was actually suppost to be on a boat but we changed it to a train.

Colour

Last week we had Colour with Lawrence Marvit. I see the world in a whole new way.. :)

Design with Lawrence Marvit

We're back from our christmas holidays and started on design. It's really tough and we're not getting that much sleep at all. However it's still fun and we are learning loads of great stuff.

The first asignment that wasn't abstract was Giant monsters attack ancient Rome. This is what i chose to make:


I have retouched it in photoshop and might do it again when i have the time. Next assignment is Junkyard Romance.


I have some corrections to make but i'll do them later on.
