11 second club draft

After A few days of planning and layout of the scene i had finished my idea. its about a bomb squad trying to diffuse some kind of bomb/animal. in the scene it involves a rookie and a pro who is on the phone to the boss leaving the rookie to do all the work. the rookie will be a character that comes across as loud and a little dim witted while the female pro is more worried and serious.

here is the first draft of my scene I made in playblast

I then later proceded to begin animating the limbs and facial features

The next thing that I worked on was texturing some of the environment and also parented the mobile phone device to the females hand here is the result so far.

In parts of the animation I felt I could have moved the female character a little closer to the middle of the scene but was afraid of her blocking the male characters performance. after further study into my animation I found I need to tweak a few bits on the faces and movement with the graph editor.

Quick Animation test

Done a quick test animating Bonnie rig to see what she is capable off. I found this rig really good for expressions and will be using it for the 11 second club project. I will hope to use the same rig for the male character in the 11 second club sound clip. Experimenting with this rig allows me to get use to it and prepare me for the upcoming task.

During week 2 of advanced animation we were given the task to animate this month's 11 second club competition sound clip. This is just a few idea's I had in mind of  characters, their expression and scenes. My favorite story I've came up with is about  a Bomb Squad. While disarming the bomb the pro is caught off guard from a call from the higher ups,while her rookie partner fails to disarm the bomb causing the pro to put her higher ups or boss on hold.

Game Animation

Game Animation is my field of interest and i would want to be able to create works such as these. As I am interested in 3D modelling and Animation. this is were I hope this will lead me to,these videos show a series of models animated to act out their behavior in the game. I would like to someday see my work come to life.

using the skills I have learned during and after university.

Visual Effects Animation

Looking into Visual effects i found it really impressive in the use of composting objects and the difference it has made to movies such as fast and furious. Visual effects is quite an interesting area to work in, I would not mind learning some composting for personal use but I'm not sure if its the area i want to go in even though i do find it appealing.Here are some videos I looked at to introduce me into Visual effects.
