Final shots for End of the Vine

These These are my near finished shots for the student film I worked on this year "End of the Vine". I animated the character, the monster, and the user interface she works with. I did not model the characters, light the scene, or animate the explosion effect. 

This weeks Tremble animation cycles

    In my last semester at State I was working in collaboration with UCSC's video game engineers making the video game Tremble. The game should come out some time in August. I not only animated 90% of the character cycles but also was the supervising animator on the rest of the game. The only character cycle I did not animate is Ollie's tree climb. Once the game is up I will send a link, and post more in game footage as it comes out of Beta this week. It was a great experience working with the engineers, getting to meet and talk to John and Brenda Romero, and get to supervise animation, as well as animate on another game project.

4 Shots 1 Week and "Pillars of Hope" (Working Title)

Here are 4 shots I animated in the last week and a half for student film I am working on called Pillars of Hope. I did all of the shots simultaneously under supervising animator Nick Marshall. Jared Mills modeled the characters and set.

Establishing shot of the monster growing front he size of a worm to a building.

 The monster will be getting electrocuted in this shot.

Could not get this video to play in a better window due to it only being one-second. But the shot still does a good job of showing what the main character is in for. 

Nintendo Charity Piece

   It is that time of year again and time its Nintendo themed! I was Given Kirby as my subject for the Nintendo Charity event. My first paper craft was inspired by the ending of the original Kirby game for Game Boy; where Kirby flies away with King Dee Dee Dee's castle filled with treats. I always wondered what that looked like to the citizens of Dreamland, I hope I did it justice.

Finished Shots for my Reel

   These are two shots that I have worked on, on and off this last semester and I am ready to move on to my next shot for my reel.

Guys Great News!

Here is my end of the semester shot, I still have a few things to polish.

Getting Ready for CTN

  Even though the shot isn't fully polished I wanted to render it and put it on my Reel for CTN. My reel is now fully updated if you want to click the link tab near the top of the page. I have had a lot of fun with this shot and I am sure I will be told to fix a hundred things. But that is one of the many reasons I can't wait to go to CTN (Creative Talent Network). If anyone is hopping to one day work in the Animation Industry going to CTN is a great learning experience!
