Energy!

Orbs!

I done this in after effects from a tutorial, it took me a long time as it was my first real attempt at anything in after effects, i did it in red instead of blue to add my own touch to it, however i must say say the tutorial looked a lot better in blue!

Welcome Back!

Well, i have just realised i havent been here since the 24th of november, so time for a quick update, it's great to be back at university! Ive had a lot of ideas for some little animations so im looking forward to maybe making them! im really looking forward to working with after affects and the broadcasting students on the live at 5 online news show, which should be great experience! so i will be back here no doubt in the next couple of days with some sketch work!

Sneak Walk in 3D

I decided to have a go the other day in the studio at trying a 2D hand drawn sneak walk, i haad about 3 attempts at it and got very fustrated, it just wasnt't working at all, so i thought id give it ago in 3D, now ive been using Richard Williams' Animators Survival guide, making different cycles etc, but i thought i woner if i could apply this to 3D in the same way, so i animated on the same frame rate as i would of hand drawing it, and low and behold i feel like it's worked, im actually very pleased with this, it could do with a few tweaks in places, but overall im happy.

My First Rig!

Been set an assignment of copying my own walk in 2+3D animation, putting my own personality into my walk, and basically copying my own walk, anyway i think i should be okay at doing this in 2D, but i think 3D is going to be a big challenge, so ive been playing around with the rig and trying to get a feel for how it works etc, i realise that this walk is a bit slow, but i was making it slow on purpose, so i could see where key moments were and so i could see where to put the toes moving etc. Anyway here it is from two different Angles.

3D Walk Cycle

Here is my 3D walk cycle, it's playing at a slower speed than i want it to, and im not 100% sure why!

I haven't had anything to update on here for a while, but now i do, here is my 2D walk cycle!
