a side project I was working on

Hi guys, I just found out this animation hidden in my hard drive for a while, now i want to show you guys hehe, just WIP, still have some small problems tho.
This was a side project I was working on, I made some more animation but this one could be the better ones to show.

Week 2 pose-revised!

Ok this revised version looks a lot better than the previous one. I CAN FEEL IT! lol
enjoy!



Couple of notes here, I was asked to bring the toe up a bit on Stu's left foot. Well at the end I didn't do it because for the reality, soccer players (runners too) want to be sure to grab the ground firmly by their feet. So that's why I think bringing up the toes isn't a good idea to represent the sense of action, even tho it might help for the silhouette .

---------------------------------
some little adjustments based on the feedback I got. (toes up now!) :D


Cheers

sketchy week 2

Here are some sketches I did during the day, quite enjoyed it, but my drawings suck, well stick figures are pretty enough for me :D
Location: Macus
critiques are welcome.

week2

ahh, this is week 2 now, I am getting some work to do for this week. observing people and sketching them are the main archive for this week, going out later on with my sketching book. I reckon it would be fun to watch other people and then quickly jot down the poses.

Mean while, I'm slowly adding my classmates into my buddies list. There are some cool guys and girls in my class, most of them have animation skills, and I am sure I will have a lot to learn from them and AM for sure too ;)

Next goal is to memorise the 12 animation principles,for the future reference when animating.
Principles are important, hmm that's what I learned from the lecture.

First day of school!

First day at AM, and wow, amazing. I'm totally into this course, the videos, the tools, the people, the posts, I mean OMG, I was so overwhelming by AM this morning. People were posting msg on each new AM student's wall. Also We had a little bit self-introduction at the beginning as we posted group msgs to all the classmates.
I can feel how passionate people are about animation during first 2,3 hours I spent on the website.
Oh, about Q&A session, it's held on Thur morning, I'm not a morning person, but oh well, its 11:30am, so I think I can make it. lol

AM orientation tour

I just had my orientation tour at AM.com. I am amazed how AM works, and I watched all the orientation videos and there is only one thing that I really want to say is that AM definitely is the place to be for me and I really look forward to see what's happening in the future.

AM starts in 2-3 weeks, woohoo!

and I also got my AM student badge so i put it here, and it looks awesome, it makes me proud of who I am and what I do. Furthermore I have been encouraged by many people as well, so I am pretty positive at moment, and I just need to wait for one thing-wait AM to blow my mind with those awesome tutorials and communities.

some new books

I just ordered some books which are going to be used while studying at Animation Mentor such as animator's survival kit and the illusion of life.


I also bought some other books like Drawn to life, Disney nine old men and so on. For the sake of doing animation I am interested in anything related to it. Plus I do want to know a bit more about those legendary stories.


I would definitely enjoy them, well if anyone who can reccommand some more good books on the same area like animation would be great to know.

27 June 2009

first impression!

Woohoo! I finally got accepted by Animation Mentor, and I will start in Sep.


During the whole week of waiting and struggling, finally I did it.

I started writing the essay on the enrollment sheet on this Tue. On the second day they sent me a Wonderlic test, basically its an online test testing english skill and math skill, and you need to answer maximum 30 questions. Well, I only did 16 or so, time went out quicker than you can imagine. But I thought I did well in previous questions.

the next step is to get the proof from my university which can prove my completion of university, and fee.

please sign me a good mentor to start with.

Unfortunately, JASON SCHLEIFER is no longer a part of mentors. Well they still have some other good ones tho.

So make myself fingers crossed!
