Quadroped

A couple of four legged shots I've animated in my sparetime.
I've never touched (studied or animated) four legged creatures before, neither their anatomy nor their movement, so this was a pleasant break from the usual biped stuff.

These are done in my sparetime.
I take only credit for the animation.

The rigs can be found on creativecrash.com

Deep shortfilm look exploration.

A new picture is up from my shortfilm.
It can also be found at it's own blog: www.deepfilm.blogspot.com
This time I'm exploring the look of the film, further.

The background is a mixture of a lot of different stuff, but mainly a water color test.

The storyboard of the film is close to tied down.
More updates to come soon!

Get Up old man!

The next animation assignment I'm giving my self, is an old man getting up from laying down to standing.
I shot some reference, tried to analyze it, find the weight, the force, the motion, the timing, all the small subtle stuff that makes animation come to life.
Find the keys, the breakdowns and so on.
Here is a chart of my Keyframes:

















I have set up my maya scene, so it's ready to animate with!
Hopefully I can start blocking my animation tomorrow. We'll see.

Cheers
