Animation!! Uploaded!!

Finally got a vimeo account. It's been a long time coming, so here are TWO things in this update.
First, something that I have been working on and off for about a month. Playing with symbols in Flash.
Haters gonna hate.... struttin' dwarves.



And then an oldie... which has no symbols what-so-ever (what was I thinking?!)
Senior Project #1.
Have had some technical issues in the past few weeks with my new, SHINY website. So, putting this here for your viewing pleasure :)


In other news, going to take a "gun safety" course tomorrow and Sunday. On the second day, I will apparently be firing something at a range. For the first time ever! Upon hearing this news, my mother says "Have fun, but don't shoot your foot off". Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mum. I guess the next logical step here would be to get my permit.

And that's about it for today. All glory to the hypno-toad and whatnot.

The Final Stretch, the Final.... Countdown?

The end of the semester, which is also the end of school FOREVER, is fast approaching!
I _think_ I am kind of on track. Sort of...
I put together more backgrounds tonight!
Since one is a SPOILER, I'm only posting one : P

It's the inside of the bank I posted a few weeks ago.
I'm actually kind of enjoying this simple geometric background stuff. I don't want to overdo it in future projects, but maybe with some refinement I can have a real "style" going.
Or something like that.

DONE-ZO.

Finally, after spending all day stitching a suit I am DONE with my two main puppets. I just have one more to do, but that one is considerably easier than these two, so it shouldn't take more than a day : )

My motorcycle girl (or Moto-Girl as I have been affectionately calling her)

ZOUNDS! It's a creepy Conan O'Brien-esque used motorcycle salesman. I would watch what you say though, I've heard he has a _monsterous_ temper. Mmm har har. Oh, that's a joke that would probably make sense if the whole thing was done.  Hmmm....

GO TEAM V-- Hey, wait a minute...

WIP Stop Motion

I have so much stuff to do by the end of the semester!! My Flash project is coming along _slowly_, mostly because I am taking a little break to work on my stop motion stuff.
I still have a ton of work to do before I can start shooting, but I thought I would let everyone see how the puppets are going so far : 3
Hopefully you can see the sketch of how this guy will actually look once he's done. Inspired by Conan O'Brien... only slightly more lanky and much more creepy!

DRAMATIC CLOSE UP.

Jack Black looks on in approval... I think.
Believe it or not, this is actually a girl! She's getting hair right after this post :)

Maybe she'll get some fake eyelashes too. Depending on how motivated I am, that is.










That's it for now. They should be completely done by this evening, and I will try to post pics

My job would be so much easier if we lived on a blank piece of paper.

Just finished my second background!!
I was actually thinking this time around, and only have a few backgrounds in total! I am on my way to being done with these beasts.
Take a look :3

Game Production

It's official, YO.  If you have an ipod touch/iphone you should download it (it's free)!! Also, it's super easy to beat. Seriously, I made it pretty short and relatively easy to get through. You will feel super good about yourself as a gamer. Think of your self esteem!!!

Since I put this thing together pretty quickly, I kind of want to try again. Maybe not this same concept of run/jump over things, but something else iphone worthy? We'll see what the future holds... lol.

Current Project Progress : 3

While my animation is still rather rough and scattered at this point, I thought I would post the opening background for my piece. : )
There are still a few more backgrounds to do, and about 2 more involved scenes of animation. I'm a little behind, but I think this project is coming together... gradually!

Background Re-Vamp

A re-do of a background from a project that will probably never see the light of day (at least for another year) : /
It's the inside of a spaceship! Ooooo, CONSOLES.

I should probably get back to work on my _current_ project...

Backwards man, backwards man

He can walk backwards fast as you can!!

As a "twist", he is walking slowly due of crappy animated .gif form, because I am lazy.

CLICK HIM TO VIEW CYCLE.

This is what I do when I should be productive on my final mythology project. (To be posted when it's doooooone)
