Locked Out

They locked us out out of school 2 1/2 days ago :(
The internet just isn't that special place anymore without AM.

Today it's time to do some more revision on my first dialogue shot from term 3. I think I've spent more time fixing it than I did making it originaly!! Need to have it done by the end of the break so I can submit it for the AM Winter Showcase, probably won't make the grade but I guess you'll never know if you don't try.

Also started packing on Sunday even though I won't be moving ou until at least April but I really hate packing so figure spread it way out over the next few months :D
Can't way to go but still shit loads of work to get through between now and then. I think if I survuve term 6 I'm capable of working in the industry.

Walk Cycle

Here is my first attempt at a fully body walk cycle I finished about a month ago. Haha though after all I had done in the last year this would be easy. It's never the way though is it.
Overall pretty happy with the body but still geting my butt kicked on the legs. Popping knees still kill me as much as term 1 :(

Revised Soccer Animation

OK so this is an animation I did way back in January for term 2 body mechanics. Finally got round to doing a revision pass on it so I could stick it on the reel next year. Really got to get my arse into gear on these revison or there won't be a reel.

Third times the charm :D

OK so going to try revive the blog yet again :D

Alright since last time I posted I've finished term 4 and 5.

Term 4 was soooo hard go my arse majorily kicked but learned heaps especially about facial animation and acting.

Term 5 is wrapping up tommorow got my last Q&A today. My mentor was Pepe Valencial who was a great mentor and really helped me through. This term we started making our short films and had to have layout pretty much wrapped up by this week. So far it's going ok looking forward to animating it already. Pre vis is definalty not for me, pushin cameras around is just so mind numbing to me :D

Also I finally figured out how to post video hoorah!!
