Short Film

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

Quick post to put up my animatic for my short film. No Title (yet), no sound and bad drawings. Basic story is that the protagonist is bored out of his mind at work, gets slammed with paperwork with an hour left in the day, finds a way to grind it out before 5, races home in excitement, and plops down on the couch to watch TV, just as bored as he was at work.

Some drawings are red and some are black – the red ones are from my original boards of the last 2 weeks, the black ones were redrawn for this final animatic.

Watch it after the jump.

Walk Cycle test

Just a quick test cycle done for the main character in my short film. I’ll leave it unsaid as to what his personality/character is for now. This was a fun assignment, my only regret is that I only had about a day and a half to work on it due to Siggraph and other commitments. All the same, it ain’t great, but it’s not terrible either.

Watch it after the jump.

Siggraph, over and out!

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Wow.

What an experience. First time at Siggraph and it was insane (in the best possible sense). There is so much to see, so much to do, so much to learn, it’s hard to process it all into a coherent post here. I’ll try to take it day by day, although if I had been smart, I would have actually posted my thoughts day by day.
