Oil riggers

I had a go at some basic compositing in After Effects. I figured its about time to expand the ol' repertoire of skills!
I shot the view from my parents' living room window with my brand spanking new Canon EOS 600d, which i absolutely love! Ive gone through 3-4 video cameras the last 10 years and this one, even though its not actually a video camera at all, kicks all of their asses! For my use anyway....

Anyway, i put footage from it in After Effects, put some oil rigs in there, threw on some clouds and some color correction... badaBING.


I really should have used better pictures of oil rigs because i wanted to keep making this composite better, but i thought id just leave it and make the next one better instead. But before that i need to animate something...

Newer showreel

New animation

Here is a new animation i made for my showreel. I posted it on some forums to get feedback, and i think its looking good now.
Blue guy tries to get past red guys with guns... aaaand action!

Showreel new

New showreel woohoo!
The last showreel was a bit too intense and had a lot of badly animated clips.
So i got rid of all the bad ones and toned down the intensity, and voila!

Heavy

Just started animating the 'Heavy' character from Team Fortress 2.
Put him in sort of a 'mid battle' scenario where his arms are numb from tranq darts (i have no idea if that would happen in the game).



It mainly inspired by Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura 2. In this scene right here:



It probably doesnt make much sense at this stage, but it will, man. it will.

Showreel!

After some setbacks (youtube wouldnt let me use Beastie Boys music), i have finally uploaded my Animation showreel!
It will probably stay like this for a while, but hopefully i will animate like crazy over summer so that i can put together an even BETTER showreel to upload closer to fall.

Here it is... again. Enjoy!

Angry cat

So here is my final animation. Not much to add really, but i have to say it went ten times better than expected!

It could definitely use some more work. I might just go over the whole thing with a sharpie or something to really bring it out, and also to add a bit of detail to the character. The lipsyncing could also need improvement, but that badger will have to wait until next animation!

So that is my last project for my Digital Animation degree.

I probably wont post anything anytime soon, so until next time... you stay classy, San Diego :)
