At the end there's supposed to be an explosion that thrusts the transport up when it slams into the bike, but I think I'll just cut the bike in half. Pieces flying around are hot.

Motorcycle in a Tunnel
It's been an incredibly long time since I've touched this blog, but I HAVE been doing stuff, really! Here's something new. Unfinished, not sure what I'll do with it, but it's something to work on when I'm not making money :D

More Side-Tracking!
Do I ever do work? Well yes, but only when it is necessarily vital to the completion of something utterly amazing. Anyway Jeremy sent me his blocked-out robot model and I rigged it up for an animation test. Check it out!
Inspired to make something crazy
This is a delayed post.. I watched Coraline again and still am blown away by how amazing the animation is. It's so ridiculously smooth and the arc's drive me crazy! LOL so I was inspired to make this wobbly creature thing. Rigged it with an IK for a "knee" and another for the foot. Just fun random stuff while I'm supposed to be working. Cheers :)

Getting Side-Tracked
So I got a job but keep procrastinating and playin around with stuff. Jeremy is just about finished with his transport vehicle, so I rigged the hell out of it and did some animation. Also Chubu.. yea.. had to play with some stormtroopers.

Boosh Lip Sync!
Holy crap I'm starting an acting animation! I have absolutely no lip sync or acting pieces on my reel, which the guys at ILM said was a must, and I've only ever done ONE years ago at Ex'pression (which was terrible). Needless to say, it was time. So, I'm using this clip from a very funny show called The Mighty Boosh:
And here's what I have so far. I love Creature Comforts and thought it would be funny to make the characters fighting monkeys. You really should work from the body poses first and do the facial/sync last, but who am I to do things correctly? I started with the mouth, then did the eyes/brows, and then the head.. and my reasoning for this (aside from lack of patience) is that psychologically all the actions of the body start from the head, so shouldn't the emotion start there? Kinda like how my buddy Travis would animate using only IK hands for a long time because he believed hands led the arms. Check it out!
