Was She Deaf (Blocking Plus Phase)

So here's the Deaf clip in the Blocking Plus phase. Just trying to get more poses in at this point to make sure everything is working well and to see the flow of the action.

Portal 2 Investment Opportunities: Boots

Really awesome clip from Valve's Portal 2 Investment Opportunities Series. The whole packaging of the clip really sells well and has a really feel good thing going on.

Was She Deaf (Planning Phase)

Ok, so here's the planning phase of my latest bunch of shots that i've been working on.

Nutz...err final again - Final Facial Pass

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been posting up anything new in the last few weeks. We recently started a new clip and I was going through the planning process what with thumbnails and shooting reference. Not much to show but here's the final with finishing touches on the facial animation of the last clip. This is the most up to date version of this clip but I suspect I may be revisiting when i hit class 6 next semester.

Just watched RIO

I managed to catch RIO today, gotta say it was pretty awesome. It looked sweet and the animation was crazy good. I think they nailed the atmosphere and the whole feel of the show. Music was spot on and characters were nicely developed. Nigel the Cockatoo was especially nice due to his flamboyant nature and attitude. Would have been nice to see him develop just a little bit more. I think probably the only thing not as wow-zers would have to be the general plot is quite expected and normal. Nothing extra ordinary or special happens in the story that you'd already expect.

Overall I think I enjoyed it more than MegaMind but probably still not as much as Tangled. Well....just my thoughts on it. Excellent show though, so for those thinking of catching it, you probably should.
