One of our assignments is to do a pendulum animation. For mine I decided to get a little advertisement for Mr. Jobs out of the way as well.
Moral of the story: Kill Two Birds with One Stone. It may be mean, but you'll be the life of the party!

Stupidly Famous...
A'right so I'm not one to brag or boast, but... I am now stupidly famous! Here's the scoop:
So we've been finishing up on Golden Axe: Beast Rider (Beast Wars and Beast Master were taken... ho hum) and so we've been putting a bit of work into helping out Sega Marketing. The art dept. came to me and asked me to whip up some character and creature poses for them, and just render them out w/ lamberts (I'll post the original renders soon). After I finished, about a month and a half went by and I didn't hear a word.
Then today, one of my fellow animators came and says to me, "Dood," he says, "I just opened up Play Magazine and spotted your ad." So I dropped my mouse and ran to Borders. Lo and behold, there in the very back page of the August 2008 Play Magazine was a two page spread of the poses I'd created! Woot woot!
Oh, and I've recently created another set of poses which should be showing up in a three page centerfold in some magazine somewhere some time soon.
Sorry for the lousy picture, our work scanner is junk so I took these w/ our home camera!

First Animation First Pass
Okay, so this is early on, but I just want to keep this site extremely up-to-date, so here goes:
The assignment is for a ball bounce, preferably a soccer or basketball. In my case, I'm using a volleyball for reference.
This is in it's earliest stage, only spent about an hour on it. I hope you like it so far, and please feel free to critique!

Assignment Numero Uno!
So this week we had a pretty simple set of assignments: go somewhere public and draw the people we see:
...and then use "Stu," one of the AM rigs, to pose out our favorite (I chose #22) and add a little flavor to it:
Let me know what you guys think!

First Day of School! First Day of School!
Whoooo hoooo! I've officially had my first day of class... Standard "Meet and Greet" kinda thing, but my class seems really cool! Another Ex'pression Alum is starting at the same time (Mai Van) although we have different mentors.
Watch this blog like a hawk now, things are really going to start ramping up soon! (Hawks are big into blogging, fyi)
