SIGGRAPH Student Exhibition

Back in December, students pitched ideas for a short animation that would play to advertise the upcoming SIGGRAPH Student Exhibition. Out of all the ideas pitched, three finalists were chosen to create an animation based on their ideas. I've been working on this for about 3-4 weeks and just finished it the other night.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially within a fairly short period of time to make it. My animation won, but any of the three could have been chosen for the exhibition, all were really professional looking.

Zeb Wood's animation can be found here. Justin Hannah did the last animation, and I'll link to his animation once I find where he posts it online.

Here's my animation, all done in Flash.



You can click through on the YouTube video to go to see it on its YouTube page, in HD!!!! They finally added HD to YouTube, and it looks really good. Just click "Watch in HD" under the video on its page.

Character Walk Cycle

Here is the final version of my character walk cycle. It was my first time animating a character in Flash, but I liked working on this. Seeing your character go from early sketch to actually moving around took a lot of steps, but it was worth it in the end.



Higher quality version can be seen by clicking on through to the youtube page.

Acting Lessons

This was my final project for cgt 341.  Had to animate a scene to a given sound clip.  The sound clip is from 30 Rock.



Higher quality version can be seen on the video's youtube page.

Vector version of my character design.  Walk cycle animation study coming next...

Character Development

I'm currently working on a final project where we have to create and develop a character. Once the character has been created and finalized, we are to animate a walk cycle in flash that would fit that character's body shape/size, and personality. My character's name is bac, and here are some sketches leading up to a more finalized look for the character. The sketch done in the red ink is a more finalized version and likely close to what the final character will look like.

A vectorized version of the character and animation study of the character's walk cycle will be posted soon.

Kinetic Typography

This was created for a kinetic typography project. The whole animation was done in Flash. The song is Royksopp - So Easy. This song will be stuck in your head for a long time, but at least it's a really good song.



As with my other youtube videos on here, you can follow them to the youtube page for a higher quality version. The high quality version doesn't seem to be working right now, but I'll check again later and re-upload if it's not working.

Lip Sync and Facial Animations

Here is a recently finished Lip Sync animation and some facial animations I did a few weeks ago.



The audio clip for this animation is of Joey Mousepad from Futurama.



This second animation was made to show the six basic facial expressions using morph targets.

Both of these can be seen in high quality versions if you follow them to the youtube page.
