SOUND FX for MAJOR PROJECT

Sound FX from music students for my Major project

Music student work for my student film

E Port Folio - Design

I wanted to make it personal and a little humrous... Intribute to my cat Fender. He minded me experiences as a child and the joys of life and creating things. And thats what my work is really about... to emulate life and the joyous little moments it can bring that we sometime miss.... Hope you guys like

Beautiful animation from Suplinfocom.... both appealing visually and suspensful wiht the chase.... makes you kind of look at trolleys a whole lot differently....



I liked looking at his sketch book. He says anything and everything in possible in your sketch book.... makes me want to get out and draw!!!

Gobelin

Some wonderful animation and creativity hear

studying Skips for my little girl

Depending on the skip its really interesting to see that rather then alternating legs you land on the same leg you left with before you change over to the next....

The Little Red Balloon

Thank you frank for sharing these's films with me!!!

Little Red Boat - By Cal arts Students Nelson Boles

Little Boat from nelson boles on Vimeo.

How minimalist can a lead character be in an animated short and still elicit an audience’s emotional reaction? CalArts student Nelson Boles explores the possibilities in his smartly designed The Little Boat. His sparing approach evokes the live-action short The Red Balloon which similarly imbued life into an obstinately mundane object. Boles doesn’t anthropomorphize the titular character; the dinghy’s behavior stems from its interactions with other characters in the film and its surrounding environment. And though its movement is controlled by an external force (wind), we still feel something for the boat. For instance, the shot at 2:10 that shows the boat resolutely pushing forward only to have its mast shattered in half—it’s as heartbreaking a moment as anything that could happen to a more conventional animated character with eyes, hands and legs.

Hating on the sterotype

Just kind of venting on how much i hate how women are drawn in comics. its unrealistically exaggerated and generally they are posed in un realistic poses... i know one of the most interesting things about the artistic world that draws people to it, is the fact that it is unrealistic.... but where is the line!!!!! you would think that people could be abit more creative rather with ideas of story lines and characters then resort to sexual connotations.

Single take- Disney and Warner Brothers style

This is a single take of a anticipation in a suprise movement.... The first one is DIsney style and the other is Warner Brother style. this is in response to Frank Teaching us about aniticipation this week...... Anticipation = Appeal to your animation.... it helps make the movement look more appealing and believeable... remember those arcs as well when doing our anticipation... the aniticpation moves in the opposite direction to the acutal movement.

Wacom challenage_ caricature of self with monster

Fank, our awesome teacher, every once and a while like to set competitions for us students to challenge out creativity. one of the first challenges for this semester asked us to come up with caricatures of us experiencing first contact with a monster.. these are my ones :D
my ice cream one kind of represents my on going battle with my evil monster.... icecream man!! but as you can see i have conerned him on top of a pancake tower where no where to go...... and the others i thought were funny ideas that popped into my head!!! thanks for the oppotunity to be explore our freative juices frank!! looking forward to the next one :D

Planning and animation so far for 2EAPS

These are the two EAPS i have been working on so far.... the Little girl run and the old man bending over. this is only really the second attempt. i know i still need to get the run lighter and bouncey, and the spacing and timing of the old man bending down. but hey its a start

Planning for old man bending down

One very touching and heart renching parts of my films is the scene where the old man gives away the balloon to the little girl. here i have tried to map out the movement as he bends down to give away the balloon... this is the first section of the movement...

Sketching out the basic rough for the Little Girl run

The year is quickly coming to an end for us second years. We blinked and its week 6 already. Only about ten weeks to go!!! we have learn't how to walk... Now its time to run!!! Today in class we started to tackel the run which counts as an EAP for our MP... i've roughed out the basic of the little girl run... you will see in the future more detail and inbetweens to sort out the timing.... i hope that basic poses are easily seen in what i have done today... enjoy

My Animal Totem

We designed our animal totems as a figure to look on whilst working on our majoy projects. these animals were meant to be a reflection of our selves now as well as our hopes for the future.... I chose the Chameleon as a symbol change.... its abilitiy to adapt to its surrounding was to encourage me to adapt to the different complications that will most likely come up during production of our majoro Project. i also dressed my chameleon as princess layer as she kicks butt!!!

This is My animatic for my Major Project

This is my first animation for my Majoy Project..... i still need to clean up some pictures and perhaps kill afew babies so to speak hehehe

little girl blink - we blink to think

This morning we have an awesome class with frank on animating eye blinks. We watched Richard Willams as well and he talked about how blinking shows the character thinking. So our class task we animated a simple vanilla eye blink.
