latest rough progress

chapter 1 ending, working on rough animation still

Wind Waker - Finishing move

roughing out Link's finishing move in Wind Waker, Zelda distracts Ganondorf with an arrow to the chest so he misses Link with a swipe of his sword, Link tumbles and leaps to deliver the final blow.. I used an image I found on the internet for one of the keyframes which set the whole scene

Zelda - Wind Waker

One of my friends let me borrow his copy of Hyrule Historia, lots of awesome information and pictures from my favorite game series.  He's also playing Wind Waker HD right now on the Wii U, so I felt the need to draw something from the game

Bounce & Splash - 4 hours

4 hours in

Bounce

felt like going back to my first assignment  - the bouncing ball.... and I wanted to add a little something new, there's going to be some smokey/magic type effects too

color continued

almost done

Title card color progress

trying to throw some color on my title card to spice it up a little bit.  Pretty straightforward with the color choices, little orange and blue, fire and water going on.

more breakin

still pluggin away at this

little samurai vs big samurai

sat down the other day....didn't know what to animate....I knew I wanted to do some sort of altercation between a small person and a big person, some kinda fight.... and this is where I got to after about 3 hours of work

Rock Lee - Cont

progress on this shot

Bboy Rock Lee- continued

Came back to this project - I broke down the action analysis of some footage of Hong 10 in a battle against Pocket, my friend Bruce Vernon of Allegra Town Animation Studios did the keyframes and now I'm inbetweening it

Chapter 1 - Ending - rough complete

Almost finished all the rough animation for this part of the idea. Characters still off model because of different reference photos (most from Place Promised in Our Early Days). Song is 'Empire' by Shakira. Yes I know one of the suits is just like master chief from Halo (that's what I referenced)

Chapter 1 - New edit - rough

working on a new project that I've had in my head for a while but just now find a song that let me storyboard it out in my head, now for some rough straight ahead. I directly referenced a lot of images found on the internet, and the song is 'Empire' by Shakira

Ocarina of Time - part 3

Chapter 1 - 1

part of another idea for an animated series, directly referenced a lot of images found on the internet, song is Empire by Shakira

 

Ocarina of Time - part 2

more rough stuff

Ocarina of Time - part 1 of maaaaany

the timing is off, it's super rough and I that's ok with me....just want to get this out of my head and animated in some capacity

Some Rough Stuff

started working on another idea that will never happen

New Demo Reel!

I did all the effects animation, the song is 'Little Black Submarines' by the Black Keys

New Title Card - Version 2

working on a new title card for my demo reel, still need to add more fire and smoke to it

Bomber

Pretty much done with this shot for now.  I was responsible for all animation.  From the senior film 'Bomber' directed by Emily Rose Gerich.

Complete!

finally finished coloring this up!

Rotation - continued

still trying to fill in all this color..... takes a while :)  I'll try not to post too many progress videos and upload the final shot next time

More color on the rings

this is going to take a while..... coloring on 1's

Waves - almost there

filling in some more color

More energy

Going to add a whole lot more energy particles and the streaming energy as well. 

Color!

filling in some color over the effects

Rough effects

starting testing some electricity and energy effects, looks promising :)

Rotation

the machine was designed by Carlos Estrada, I built it in Maya then Leslie Martin rigged it so I could animate it (also in Maya)  imported a playblast video into Toonboom and traced it over on 1's, now I'm going to color it and add some sweet energy effects!

Wet Sand

added in the wet sand, next I'm going to put in the sea foam in the shallow parts of the washed up wave

More Waves

still a ways to go, need to add in more sea foam, wet sand and the rest of the ocean in the distance

Electricity test

messing around with some electricity

little magic

just messing around a bit with some magic effects

more progress...

filling in some more

Wave progress

Of course, more work on the waves

More waves

keep filling it in!

Rolling Waves

first pass on new wave test, trying to get the mechanics right, thought it might be easier to do it in sections

More fire!

second layer added into the fire with some more transparencies

Torch 2

continuation from last night

Fire test

3 hours work on a torch

Rubble

Working on the rubble and the buildings as they explode.  The next post of this should be the final with the background colored (I hope)

Zelda

Thought I would try to animate one of the battles from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Phantom Ganondorf vs Link.  It's very rough right now, but there will be a galloping horse emerging from the painting

Almost done with this one

getting close :)

Gallop!

did a quick trace off from some early horse photographs to try and get an idea for the mechanics

More explosions!

came back to this shot I was working on for the senior film 'Bomber' directed by Emily Gerich

Keep it going

progress on this underwater explosion after a critique from one of my professors

Blow it up

some more work on this underwater explosion for the senior film 'Drain'

Senior Film 2nd pass

going back to work on this project more.  It was one of my favorite ideas and I really want to see it through to the end

Drain

some rough work of an underwater explosion I'm doing for a Senior Film titled 'Drain'

Last update till complete!

not going to post anymore until this is completely finished!

Bboy Rock Lee - rough

Referenced Bboy Hong 10 in a battle against Bboy Pocket, going to get some help from Allegra Town Animation Studio, gonna be fun

Camera movements

starting to model some of this with Naota and Haruko and the vespa, also tried some camera movements

Vespa Goooooo!!

Little more progress on the FLCL tribute- still need to put in Haruko and Naota

very, very rough work on a FLCL tribute.  Lot of time needed on this one

something different next time, promise

throwin that color down

Need...to...finish....this....SOON!

Getting close....

almost done with the first part of this

back at it

continued work on this shot

walk it out

messing around real quick

wave 2

throw some color on that mess

waves

did a quick study tonight on some waves.....needs more height in the build up I think

more shading

not a huge amount of progress, started a new job this week and it's paying it's toll....oh well I still wanna get this one down smooth

Surprise!

here's a little more - trying to clean up the exoskeleton mechanics that build around the main character after he gets flung into the distance

Throw some depth on it

putting some shades on the main character to help get the perspective across.....it's moving a little too fast but this is a test and is going to be fully reworked

progress on new shot

there's probably going to be a lot of updates on this series of shots.....just warning you

Brace yourselves....here come the posts!

sooo I want to track the progress of this shot - all straight ahead animation, no storyboard, no animatic, just have the scene in my head and want to get it down...

still super rough but basically the robot hits the character and knocks him back, he uses his mechanical arms to stop himself and runs towards his opponent.  They size each other up, the robot throws a punch which the young boy blocks and grabs on to it's wrist, hyperextending the arm.  He then steadies himself and breaks the lower half of the robot's arm off, but it's still connected by wires which are swiftly disconnected with a swing of the upper arm throwing the boy into the distance.  He builds a larger robot around himself and runs back towards his enemy..... lol you get all that?

Here comes some new stuff.....

alright, so my friend Michael Sullivan and I have been working on a project for some time now, and I started to do some animating with the main character using his weapon/equipment against a big robot...this is extremely rough and way too fast right now also will have some camera movements... but here it is so far

Done...for now

alright, probably going to be the last one I post of this shot for a long while.... the director seems happy with it so I'm going to move on and work on something else in the meantime.... I'm not super happy with the bubbles and the froth inside the test tube but it still feels pretty good.  Had a lot of fun working on this shot, and I think the film itself will be very successful.  'Frog Legs' directed by Katie Tamboer will be worth the watch!

Keep on truckin....

got some notes from one of my Professors, need to work on the eyes and the eyebrows..... gotta hit the books again!  More to come soon

character animation = not easy

trying to get his arm and hand looking right, this is gonna take some time

post treatment with some blurs

little more

almost done!

Fire - Pre special treatment

quick fire test in ToonBoom, now I need to add the transparency and glow to the different layers

Effects - Blur and transparency in ToonBoom

getting close to finishing this shot, added some blur and transparency to the smoke effects at the end, need to put the fireworks on a separate layer though so they're not so see through

Dandy

little more progress :)

Frog Legs - Progress

trying to clean up this shot for Katie Tamboer's senior film "Frog Legs"

Space Dandy/Anchorman mashup!

Using the dialogue from Anchorman and characters from Space Dandy :)  Here are the rough keys

First animation on new equipment!

http://atomsk171.deviantart.com/art/Firstsplash2-432559533

 

first thing I animated on my new Yiynova 19 inch interactive display - water splash!  about an hour of work just messing around, still need to color it - Flash

keep it going?

throw some fire on the madness


this was going to be for a senior film by Emily Gerich but the animatic went through an edit and it's been cut :(  oh well, it was still fun to work on 

Bomber progress

finally got access to some equipment so I could do a little more work on this explosion....  hopefully I will get an interactive display soon so I can work more efficiently
