Trailer projects done!

We had final presentation today where we presented 6 different trailerprojects whom i animated on the two of them: Mon Oncle and Citizen Cane. The idea was that we each were given a classical movie to make a trailer for but with a complete art direction. The CGA's spent in total 7 weeks ( 14 with lectures) on the projects, and we the animaters spent two weeks of animating.
I was
originally in the Mon Oncle group; we planned the project very well making sure only to have 6 shots (you could have max 14), therefore i only had one shot to do ( it's the scene with the swing). Unluckily one of the other groups; Citizen Cane had a lack of animators, so it was decided for me to join them halfway through the two weeks. For this project i animated the two small Grossbutt shots and the final shot with the dragon. (DRAGOOON!!!!!!!!!!).
It was so awesome to be on two projects. Here you go

3D!! and other creative projects

So well, since the start of 3rd semester we have been learning about how to animate in maya. it has been really tough sometimes, but i guess i have achieved a lot so far. In the beginning i wasn't so sure about animating in 3D, but over time it seems like i get more and more fond of it. Take a look at what i have been doing so far :)

 At the moment i'm working on the 'trailer - project'. Us and the CG's have been devided into different groups, and have been giving a movie each to go out from. The concept is about making a 30sec long trailer with the same story beats from the movie; the thing is that we can change everything else; the style, genre, time, ect. The time us animators have been learning maya, the CGs have been working on all the pre-production for the trailer project. Anyways i will get back to this later when the trailer projects are finished!

Lately i have had a lot of creative sideworks; one of them has been making a pith for a film together with four other guys across our and the CG class, for Danish Writhers Association. I did most of the character design, and drew the storybeats. Our story was basically about a guy searching for inspiration, and the randomly comes by something that really kickstarts his mind. This 'inspiration'  his head now seem to be filled with, is pictured by a huge wavy bubble on top of his head, which causes him a lot of trouble in his dayly life. Suddently he sees a typewriter, and finally he can get all his inpiration out of his mind, down on paper, that tranforms into books people then starts to read. Afterwards when his sitting relaxed and satisfied, a book falls down on him, and he discovers that others are getting inspired to by reading his book.

These are the storybeats i made

Another of my creative project has been making a chidrens book for my niece two year old birthday; this was the result:

That was it for now!

Sketchbook update!

Yes, it's almost a month since 3rd semester has started with 3D animation, and i have been doing a lot of that so far, which I AM going to upload. Just not now. Now it's sketchbook update time! i really didn't draw a lot during the summer vaccation, but i sure have the last couple of weeks. here you go:

Hi Guys! Huge Update just before we go on vecation!

Wow, so it's been a while, let me see...... Right! then we had Dance Animation with Darko Belevski in week 17 - 18 , and i chose to animate nana nana nananana nana nananananana BAAATMAAAAN! oh yeah! and i chose to make him dance to some really nice 50 cent music - take a look! I still want to work on this in the future, it would be really awesome to see this in color!

After dance animation we had the final week - week 19 - of the Escape Project! Exiting! 1 single week for finishing it with animation, color and all that cg stuff. It was hard work and we could have spent more on the sound but it turned out pretty awesome i think!

Week 20 - 21 we had flash introduction with Denis Chapon and flash production with the great animation school La Poudriére http://www.poudriere.eu/en - it was really hard to handle the flash, but the collaboration between us and the french guys was simply amazing. In groups we had to make some test animation based on different childrens books for TV - series presented by the differenct directors. My groups story was about a boy called GusGus - half human and half ghost, and his daily troubles. My scene was about GusGus trying to fly.

Week 23 we had Color class with Tod Polson, and it was fantastic! Since color class a little fire of passion for painting and working woth color has invoken inside of me! in the future i seriously have to work more with this! Here you can see my results working with color schemes, values and composition.

AT LAST! - And last!! but not least! Soup in my Hair is truly finished!! (though you can always make things better) This was a film i made together with Anna Manzarits and Dionysis Doul during Animation Jam (week 14 - 15) and now it's fully edited! (we didn't manage to do earlier)

 

 

And btw, here is my showreel for 2nd semester here at the Animation Workshop, most of it is probably posted on my blog allready, buut there is a little extra in the end! - anyways take a look ;)

Sooo, i guess this was it for now. I'm probably not gonna post anything here during the summer, now it's time to relax and think about something else... aah. So all i have left to say is...

HAVE A FREAKING NICE SUMMER VACATION!
