A hartwarming goodbye from the animation team at Guerrilla Games, some great inspiration: "Drawn to life.

Putting it to good use. These are moving people.

Finished AM.

2009-05-13T01:03:00.000-07:00

Plenty o` stuff to improve in the coming 12 weeks of.. Class 6!

2009-03-01T06:53:00.000-08:00

My recipe for standard hip movement. It speeds up dog walk cycles a lot. Not perfect, but perfect for general start.

Shortfilm time!

2008-11-03T12:36:00.000-08:00

Trying to get familiar with dog rig by Javier Solsona. Oh, and I also graduated from art school :]

Class4 Week 3

2008-07-20T07:37:00.001-07:00

The end of the first assignment. Fixed whatever I could. My mentor had a lot of notes on details. - Edit. its almost a year since I`ve animated it. and with all the stuff I`ve learned I might go back and re-animate it to do it more justice. Im pretty happy with some parts but theres more potential in it.

The rest is blocking and in need of attention.

My previous shortfilm is done. It has been a very good excersize in making deadlines which is exactly what I achieved. Its time to move on and focus on more then making the deadline. I hope to achieve this by simplifying the length and story, avoid rigging and modeling and focus on animation.

Spent a total of 4 weeks on this shot.

Body mechanics is a lot tougher then I anticipated.
The principles help quite a bit.
