Here's some 2D effects I did in Flash for an upcoming Unity game. This was a quick first pass for the animations, then they will be cleaned up and painted over for the final ones. I had never done any 2D hand drawn particle effects, so it was a fun experiment. I'm looking to try Photoshop for 2D animation next as you have more control over the final look.</div>

I wanted to get better with 3D in Unity, so I created this little first-person demo in between projects at work to explore advanced shaders, effects, and lightmapping. Some of the models were downloaded from free sites, others I created from scratch. The graphics and effects are downscaled a bit for the web demo, but they still hold up pretty well.<br />
<br />
You can play the demo <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6248178/The%20Room/TheRoom.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">here</a></span>! (you'll need the Unity web player installed for your browser.)<br />
<br />
Once it loads click on the player and you should be able to look around with your mouse and move around with WASD keys.<br />

Again, all work was done in the 49 hours given. The theme this year was "If everyone knew my secret..."<br />

Wanted to try a different variation of this art style this year, but was going to run out of time since it required more detailed background paintings. This fit well with the kind of film noir style anyways though. It was hard to keep track of the shots since I wanted the sequence to go in reverse to reveal the mystery.</div>

The lighting and rendering system seems a lot more intuitive than my experience lighting with Mental Ray, what you expect a light to do in a scene seems much more predictable with V-Ray. I modeled the room, but most of the objects in the scene were downloaded from turbrosquid or other free model sites.<br />

Here is my short film created for the MG Collective 2013 49 Hour Animation Competition. All work completed in 49 hours! The theme this year was "Nothing good happens after midnight... or does it?"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was lucky enough to get 1st place this year in the Professional category, but there were some really great films in both the Pro and Student categories. My little brother Mariano helped out again this year by modeling some of the background props and the car.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really liked working in this 3d/2d style, going to try and explore it a little more. Also my first time working with a quadruped rig. Used the new Tribe rigs from Animation Mentor and they worked out really well with this style.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looking forward to the 2014 49 Hour competition!</div>

The theme this year was "Nothing good happens after midnight... or does it?"<br />
<br />
Decided to go for a more simplified style this year and try to do something that closer resembles 2d animation. I think it worked out pretty well!<br />
<br />
Here's a still frame from the beginning of the animation.<br />

Started working on some new stuff after work. I've had an audio clip I wanted to work on during AM, but never got the chance to. I really wanted to do a scene where I would get to animate a little kid, and this one provides a good contrast to the father character. More soon.Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-76699759730132630792013-01-03T16:31:00.000-08:002013-01-03T16:31:30.422-08:00CintiqRecently picked up a Cintiq! Such a huge difference being able to draw directly on the screen, and a lot easier to control line work. Here's a few quick paintings/sketches I did testing it out. <div>

Season 1 was really good, but they kind of started to lose it towards the end of Season 2. Did some sketching with the Paper app on iPad while watching. Sgt. Brody and Carrie! Need to do one of Saul next time.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I worked on the animation, some character modeling, and even rigging! Also on the team were <a href="http://www.almost.tv/" target="_blank">James Ratliff</a>, <a href="http://stephany3d.com/" target="_blank">Stephany Cardinali</a>, and <a href="https://vimeo.com/twotone" target="_blank">Sean McDonald</a>. We used kind of a weird workflow and went from Maya to Cinema 4D, but it all worked out in the end!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
There were a total of 5 bumpers, all created by Indiana artists. These will play before the screenings at the Indy Film Fest later this month. The other four bumpers can be seen <a href="http://thebasement.tv/bumpers/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-5736765150512941362012-05-27T11:33:00.001-07:002012-05-27T11:33:49.682-07:0049 Hour PanicThis is my animated short created for the 2012 49 Hour Film Competition by MG Collective. I can finally post it and make the video public now that all the films have been screened.<br />

The theme given to everyone was Panic, and everything was created within the 49 hour limit. I worked solo this year, which means I was able to get a lot more sleep! This also meant I was going to run out of time, so I ended up playblasting and keeping the animation in stepped because I knew I wouldn't have enough time to spline and render the whole thing.<br />
<br />
My lil brother <a href="http://mypage.iu.edu/~mnmeijom/index.html" target="_blank">Mariano</a> helped out a bit by creating the background models and props. Music is by David Ari Leon, from the Contre Jour OST. Rigs provided by Animation Mentor.<br />
<br />
There were a lot of great films this year, and overall an improvement from last year I think!Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-7085645152725041672012-04-24T18:24:00.000-07:002012-04-24T18:24:57.412-07:00AM Demo Reel<div style="text-align: center;">

I've had this posted on the Animation Showreel Tab at the top of the blog for a bit, but never got around to actually posting it on my blog! This is my best work during the 18 months at Animation Mentor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It feels like those 18 months went by so fast. I remember just starting in class 1 doing the bouncing ball, and then suddenly I'm doing a dialogue shot. The school was a great experience and I learned so much more than I thought was possible in that short amount of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Thanks to all the AM staff, mentors, and students that gave me feedback and helped me out along the way!</div>Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-42250050296542797772012-01-07T16:09:00.000-08:002012-04-24T18:25:47.117-07:00DialogueI had planned to render out this shot over the holidays, but it never happened, too much Arkham City!

I started this shot in class 4 at Animation Mentor where I did all the body animation. Then, I finished up the shot by doing the facial/lipsync animation the first 3 weeks of class 5. Takes so much more time to animate compared to the Stewie rig because of the eyes, mouth, fingers, eyebrows.<br />
<br />
Just started working on the two person dialogue shot now that will last for the next 4-5 weeks. It's gonna be a challenge!Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-70373319884692720992011-09-10T11:16:00.000-07:002011-09-10T11:16:35.505-07:00HandsHere's a few hand poses we had to do for class 4 at AM in between the animation assignments.

Almost done with the dialogue shot, but will probably hold off on posting it until I do the facial animation for it at the start of class 5. I think it will turn out to be a pretty cool shot though!Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-2487976653075072202011-08-25T07:17:00.000-07:002012-04-24T18:28:25.781-07:00PantomimeThis is my first shot from AM class 4, intro to acting. Had to do a pantomime shot that has a character changing emotion, such as calm to panic, happy to sad, etc.

I finished the shot a few weeks back, but just now got around to doing a little more polish to the animation and rendering it out. Working on the first dialogue shot now. Each shot is taking more and more time to finish, and getting more complex!</div>Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846885845170772816.post-75938717476822950352011-07-07T08:37:00.001-07:002012-04-24T18:28:39.368-07:00Class 3Finally got around to rendering out my 3 shots from Class 3 at Animation Mentor during the break week between classes.<br />

Three months of work in about 30 seconds! I have lots of planning sketches, blocking/blockingplus for each shot, but it would take a while to get it all posted!</div>

I haven't gotten around to posting any of my shots from class 3 at Animation Mentor yet, but I am almost done with the term. I will put up all 3 shots together since each shot is a continuation of the one before it.</div>Marcelo Meijomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11088393374898524561noreply@blogger.com0
