My first 3D animation....Really enjoyed doing this. This is where my passion for animation started building up. My animation teacher till now was Ian Peaker, my first animation teacher (how cool is that), sent to us from Centennial College in Canada. I don't know what I would have done without him. He is one of the best teachers I ever had. Thanks a lot Ian, if you ever read this.
The ball bounces forward, huges mistakes while it goes down the ramp.....but I feel the rest of the animation turned out to be okay...
Sorry for bad quality. Dint really notice while working on it....but anyway I guess you can watch at least something....I think the heavy ball animation turned out to be a disaster.
The pendulum swings and slowly comes to a stop. Had fun doing this, got to know about frame shifts in the graph editor and the graph looked so clean and it created a great design, I dont know why but I loved looking at my graph design of this animation back then....how crazy is that!!!
We were supposed to animate a rope suspended from a heavy piece of wood by using the follow-through and over-lapping principles. To be honest, these are the two principles I completely stink at, I really want to understand in detail about these two principles at AM.
I broke my leg just when we were given this assignment of animating a whip lash and again, this was full of follow-through and overlapping actions so dint at all turn out how I expected.
Okay, here the luxo lamp was supposed to jump thrice which turned out to be okay but I totally messed up the challenging part, there had to be short story in its actions which audience could understand. Guess, I couldn't understand it myself....lol!!!
I might rate this one a liiiittle bit more than the last one.....Pixo here was supposed to jump five times and just like Luxo, its actions should tell a story. I could understand just about 1/4th of the story...hmm
I clicked the picture of the car and then merged it with the luxo animation using the green screen in Maya....
This was the beginning of the new semsester and Ian gave us Andy rig first to play around with it, and then make a generic treadmill, basic walkcycle. He gave us the timing and poses so we had everything we needed and yet this animation is utter crap....Anyway, moving on...
Now, Andy was supposed to walk forward but with a better walk....Looks like for me , he just walked forward....
This is supposed to be a character walk cycle, you know like Andy's supposed to look happy, sad, angry...whatever, through his walk....I don't see that up here mama!!!
Shotput action of the professional shotput player after hours of tweaking. It could have been zillion times better....
I kinda liked this one. Why?
Because it was an easy one. We had to do the most basic lip syncing as in only moving the lips and nothing else....so, I think it synced just about fine with the audio....
This is supposed to be acting, can you believe it....Geeez, I have to learn tonnes from Animation Mentor.
Finally, we had to make a short film in 75 days of at least over two and a half minutes in a group of four. I was the animator and I got the best technical artist in my college and I was happy with the character designer but not so happy with the storyboard artist/compositor, he worked but not completely. So, I animated entire 5104 frames in about 67 days and I think it wasn't that bad. I admit the reel totally lacked the sense of story-telling which was partly because it wasn't composited well and we couldn't find a lot of rendered frames in the 11th hour and after the submission my college people just formatted all the systems for God knows what reasons, anyway so never had all the required data to re-render it and to add to it just before the day of submission somebody stole my 64GB iPod Touch.....damn!!!
Okay enough text about the animation, have a look and don't be so harsh on the comments.
So.....that's about it for my past animation works. I really hope to keep improving on my animation and produce some great actions one day....
