Spiderbot Animation

I haven't quite figured out what title I prefer for this animation, but I am sure I'll think of something suitable. As I finish the previous "This Should be a Breeze" animation, I dive right into this one. For now, I am setting up the environment and timing it out with storytelling shots. Here is a snapshot of what is soon to come. 



"This should be a breeze"

Overall, I think this is close to being completed. I will note that there are smaller controls that need attention before wrapping this up (Hands,fingers, facial features). I changed the ending so as to shorten its entirety. It wasn't reaching its full potential and I feel it was dragging a bit. I cut about 6-7 seconds off in the long run.  I still kept the same idea of relation with my own golf game that can happen at times. Below is a dropbox link.

"This Should be a Breeze" - Shot1: Block pass

In this pass, I adjusted my timing a bit so that the animation reads smoothly without any hiccups and misunderstandings. I went in and added breakdowns in this stage. Not all breakdowns are seen in this time around. For the next block pass, I will factor in more.

For the time being, here is a dropbox link >> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19255162/S1_Blockpass1.mov

"This Should be a Breeze" - Shot1: Storytelling

When I golf, it always seems that luck is never on my side. I chose to animate something comical that can translate just how unfortunate my golf game can be on the course. I'll be updating shot progress as much as I can. Here is Shot 1: Storytelling.

Renaissance Festival animation

Inspired by a couple of animations I stumbled upon in Vimeo, I chose to create a different type of walk cycle I had seen over the internet. Through readings, I found out how some animators were breaking up the cycle and arranging the animation to give more personality to their character. I took what I had experienced from the summer at a renaissance festival and applied it to this animation. The atmosphere was entertaining, loose and educational. This initial walk cycle idea developed into a small acting practice. Below is a link to the vimeo page. >> https://vimeo.com/80865705

Kenny Roy Animation Practice (Final)

I made sure to address the necessary areas of the animation that were lacking some principles. I definitely enjoyed this whole exercise as I progressed through the end of the month since becoming a member half way into September. Looking forward to Kenny's critiques. Here is my final submission below

Kenny Roy Animation Practice (animation ver3)

There were a couple passes I skipped to post but I decided to wipe out the "pointing pose" and stick with the "tada" pose. Here is another WIP of my Kenny Roy take with Putting on a Hat. Below is a link to the first smooth pass.
