Animation Effects and Motionbuilder exercise

Hi Everybody!
This week I have been working on tests for the crack and crumble animation effects for the E4 sting. I learned how to make these effects by using youtube tutorials.















This week we also had a class exorcise on how to use Autodesk Motionbuilder. It's bit more awkward to use than Maya but now I am able to edit and combine motion capture data.

Pipeline Animatic

Hi there,
So this week I focused on the developing of the E4 sting story by making storyboards and animatics. The camera is a bit too flat in these plans so I will experiment with different camera angles when I make Pre vizs.

3rd year begins

Hi there!
So 3rd year has begun and so has our first project. This Pipeline is where a group of us work on creating a 10 second short in 7 weeks. I am working in a team of three people and we decided to create an E4 sting as they are quite eclectic and random. We also could submit our sting the next time E4 host a sting competition. for this project I will be directing, rigging and animating. Julia will be designing and modeling the environment and Ben is designing and modeling the character the following links are initial rough animatics for our sting idea.
