Screening Night Showreel

This is the showreel of some of my work collated for the end of year screening. It contains 5 EAPS = jump, walk, dialogue, punch and kick. There's also a bit of Flash animation and traditional 2d work from the Tropfest film we made in 1st year. This is goal is kicked but there is a lot more animating to be done.

Combining 2D & 3D elements

This is a further installment in the 2D to 3D connection. I started this exploration a few months back with a Flash animation. This is my second attempt at a dialogue sequence using Maya.

Hey, who is that kid? ~ Life drawing class

In August Jane organised a zoo to come to Southbank. It was for life drawing classes. What a great day. First and second year students were plonked amongst the farm animals. There was lots of interaction and energy. This picture came from it.

Surfrider Foundation Australia ~ Community Group Project

As part of Jane's classes Roman, Dan, Noel and I made an interactive web animation for Surfrider Foundation Australia, for our community project assignment. It has now been modified into a short film:

Doing some cool stuff in Jane's class experimental animation.

I wouldn't advise animating with cigarette butts, they stink!

End of Year Screening shirt design

OK, we picked number 5. Thanks Robyn (colouring) and David for the excellent design!

Punch Kick ~ EAPS #3 & #4

A little less conversation...

This is the colour palette I came up with for the end of year t-shirt and DVD cover design (designed by "Whitie"). David has done a much better colouring job. I'm just showing myy attempt to be part of the crew. And I think the white outline lifts the design off the black background. I reckon it would look best big on the back of a shirt rather than the front. I think the text should be included in the design as well as the central logo. Click on the pic to see more detail.

I'm going on to a short 50 frame animated action. I'll see if I can get back to this one later (needs some arms).

I've been working on lip synch and blinks to complement the acting:

The playblast of just the character is being converted at the server. I'll post it when it's done.

Eye blinks and some eye brow animation to enhance the acting.
