Max Can Jump

me have taught max how to walk.... now is time for him to take a big leap of faith... or in this case JUMP!

Take this Animation!!! - 'I' desing in maya with max

just a random sketch i thought i would put up that i did

Max's first awkward steps

Today was a much anicipated day for us second years.... The day..... we learned.... to walk. Like everything in life, one of the most important things we can ever learn is to walk...Those first steps whether literal of metaphoric, provide us with confidence to run, jump, leap..... we got to animate maxs first steps... and although they are a little awkward. its the start of something beautiful :D

Spirit Horse

During our lunch break Scheree put on the wonderful movie - Spirit.... to be honest it didn't appeal to me when it first came out... but watchig it now i reallly appreciate how they tell the story mainly through the animation and music rather than dialogue.
i felt inspired to try to draw a horse as i never really draw much besides female charcters and buff men hahaha....

the is no 'I' in Animation.... o wait there is

hahaha yes i know another lame joke of mine... but hey thats what a blog can be for right? any way here is my very quick sketch up designs for the i in animation project we are going to have in Maya :D
i'm not sure wether i like this one.... i like the slinky idea. but this one should be easy enough in Maya to animate :D

moment of contact for max

hey guys
we looked at the moment of contact in iron giant and how to train your dragon. Its amazing when you stop and deconstruct how certain seens are constructed to create anitcipation through timig and spaccing.... its powerful
is it the anicipation that makes the touch so powerful or is it the touch by its self?? i really think that the two need each other either wise both are ineffective :D

i hope you like this frank... i don't necessaryily have something for him to reach out to.... but its pretty dramatic!!! the question is what is he yelling out!!! hehehehe
enjoy
