Urgent Skit Done



Got this one out, quite happy with the outcome.  Fun obstacles to overcome and learn as usual.  Next is "Don't Litter" Commercial , Spidey and Doc Ock blocking, Bk's for Ski Dazzle.  Good times!  Took a year for the "Wrestlin" one to finish and I had to basically re-learn phrasing and dialogue again since I was in body physics mode .  Oh Well..

Skill Progression


Note: Plateaus, Growth and Time will always vary
 
"To take the master's journey, you have practice diligently, striving to hone your skills, to attain new levels of competence.  But while doing so- this is the inexorable fact of the journey- you also have to be willing to spend most of your time on the plateau, to keep practicing even when you seem to be getting nowhere." 

-Excerpt from book *Mastery by George Leonard.

Wrestlin' Mania 2012 Toon-Tribute

YEAaaah! Another wrap rockstars!  Took me year to animate part time and weekends.  So worth it to see the flow of the story, blood sweat and tears.  Learnt tons, I suggest everyone to do shorts, its total discipline.  I have alot lined up and I'm just crossing them off the list.  So with no further adeu..




As a special treat I uploaded the blueprint of this short from my DSi the 2d version of the rough timing and action..

 

Rock it NON-STOP!!! To the NEXT PROJECT!

Almost Done "Wrestlin' Mania"

Checkin' in.. 2 more shots to render, then I can start editing and wrapping is close in sight.  A year to this day.  Learned so much. 
Here is the title card I'm still working on. 


 And a shot, I tried to add blur but ran into issues.  I will solve eventually when I get to that level.  Really pushing the abilities of creativity on this.  I do love carving lighting and shadow also, when I had the animation locked down I cleaned up the rough lighting to the best I can do.  So Fun!

The finished product is up soon.
