Dialogue

I had planned to render out this shot over the holidays, but it never happened, too much Arkham City!  Here is my dialogue shot from Class 5 at Animation Mentor.

Just started Class 6, the last one.  Working on polishing some of these shots and maybe doing a new one.  Almost over!

Faces

Created these face poses based off of the pictures throughout class 5.

Monologue

Finally got around to rendering out my monologue shot from AM, thanks to that extra hour from daylight savings!

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.

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!

Hands

Here's a few hand poses we had to do for class 4 at AM in between the animation assignments.  Angry, relaxed, and surprised poses respectively.

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!

Pantomime

This 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!

Class 3

Finally got around to rendering out my 3 shots from Class 3 at Animation Mentor during the break week between classes.

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!

I'm halfway through AM now, just started class 4 and getting into acting shots!

show & tell

Back at the beginning of April, I participated in the 49 Hour Film Competition created by MG Collective. I was lucky to get to work with a professional team for the competition, and we were able to make something pretty cool in 2 days.

All the 49 hour films were recently screened, so now I can post the full animation here.

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.
