Stuff on a new Project- Project Sonitvs Mortvs

I'm in a collaboration to create a rap video turning into a serious zombie outbreak...basically how "28 Days Later", "Sean of the Dead", "Night of the Living Dead", and other zombie movies start...but the rapper is going to be a wanna-be. He completely sucks, and turns out to be the worst video, but then grabs footage of a zombie that ends up turning him and his friends into zombies. And after that, well, zombie apocalypse. Here are some inspirations on crappy animation for his blog or whatever seems to be his fancy.

Here is the link for better quality, as blogger seems to have an issue with uploading videos...

Pipeline Project

 Here are some thoughts on some of the Pipeline Projects that I am looking forward to making alongside these artists. This project entails a 15 person group collaboration to make one gigantic project, to either display emotions, special effects, or deeper meanings. Which one will I work on will depend on who gets selected from a ballot to be produced! :) I am excited to see what is in store for me in the near, distant future!

The Final Composition for Project Hiroshi

My full menagerie of the development of an animation, Pop Goes the Weasel... I am excited to present these settings in order of the actual animation, and I hope everyone will enjoy!

Music Selection

Now to go along with his animation, as part of Project Hiroshi, I have included a video to show what music will accompany the menagerie.  By Kevin MacLeod, free music provider.

Kyle Short

This is an animation short of my character, Kyle, throwing a bouncy ball at a wall. This is for my Animation class as I had mentioned in my previous post. Now this was to show anticipation, tension, and proper weight movement. I incorporated the bouncing ball from an earlier project to study the pull of gravity, and thus to show the understanding of bounciness with anticipation and tension. The anticipation from the wind up, and the ball disappearing, to the tension of the ball hitting him back in the face. So I decided to use Kyle for both animation and for my design classes.

Kyle's Room

This is Kyle's room, in which the animation will begin. Basically, the scene will start off with the door closed, as Kyle opens the door,and finds the box containing the Evil Weasel. I will lay out the storyboard of all the compositions I have so far, including a short Animation I did for my Animation class. It's a lot more cheery than this, but it is always good to have a start first. :)

Kyle's Fright

This is Kyle frightened by the evil weasel. I'm trying to really emphasize the fear and insecurity he is feeling right as the weasel pops out of the box unexpectedly.

Giant Weasel

 So here is the finalized weasel for Project Hiroshi. I changed his eyes yet again, and changed his physic from fluffy, scary, and cute to not-so-fluffy, scary, and not cute at all.

Getting ready for the finalization!

So here is the finalized box in the corner of Kyle's room, where the weasel will scare him.
