Time out!!

Sooo, here I am with another post been busy the past few days and I apologize for that. Work and trying to animate on free time has been hectic and tiring. But I wanted to let anyone if there is anyone who reads this, that I submitted my final for the 11 second club this month!! It was a challenge, getting back into the chair and animating consistently has been fun but tiring. I am re-learning things and making mistakes, which are oddly good things to do :) I have some problems in my workflow that I plan on to work out on the next shot.

Well here is the shot... I need to do some serious timing and all around polishing on this shot but I learned a ton.. That's the important thing, right?

Well this month will be more animation including, animation 51 exercises(continued), Female/Male walk cycles, and possibly the 11 sec club for this month?? But now I leave you with some Weezer. Ciao

A Little Change

Hola, I have taken a little break from the 11 sec club (Just a day off) to work on animation exercise numero 2. Which is a ball bouncing across the screen. I am really digging these exercises and I remembered how long this animation took me when I first did it at AnimationMentor. I guess I really didn't feel like I was progressing but I am and I feel it more everyday. Anyway, here is that test.

So, now onto my next shot which is a female walk cycle. I chose to do a sexy/runway walk because I think there is a lot I can learn from it, and with a walk cycle I always feel you can learn so much from them. So here is a rough timing/blocking pass of key poses.

BLOCKED OUT

So here it is finally the last of the Mohicans of this block pass. I still have to do a timing pass but for the most part it's all there ready to go. Tomorrow brings us #2 of the animation exercises and a female walk cycle. So yeahh be on the look out.
