And heres something that started off as a simple title card but one thing led to another and I ended up Michael Baying it. Its way too flashy to be taken seriously but it was still fun to do especially the sound mixing!

BRAN work in progress

Some rough animation from my short film which I probably wont get around to finishing anytime soon. I was pretty overwhelmed by that one scene which ran on for almost 24 seconds. It was important to me that there be no camera moves or cuts to distract from the performance. It was difficult tracking the pupils and expressions so that it feels like hes conscious of his moms presence yet is improvising to find places to hide his cereal. It was also important that he places all the hiding spots in such a way that would result in the freak accident later on in the story without being too obvious. Theres still plenty of things to fix but I hope you like it.

getting used to drawing my character before i dive in....

Costumed Life Drawing

10 mins / water colours + ink = fun

Leica Final (for now)

For better or worse, this is going to be the version I go into production with. No more time to tweak and make adjustments, I need to start layouts and animation! Hopefully this reads clearer now, I redrew some of the boards so the plot no longer requires dialogue. let me know what you think and best of luck to all my hard working peers!

Brooklyn's Finest

just saw the trailer and it looks every bit as good if not better than Training Day. and I'm a fan of pretty much anything Don Cheadle touches.

Oink.

Leica Thus Far

Didn't submit this on time for the screening so I'm posting this here to get as much feedback as possible. Missing the dialogue and in the process of tightening up shots and reboarding the ending.

Some things unclear in the leica:
during the cartoon comercial, his mom yells at him offscreen to go eat breakfast before tv, the cereal he initially pours is branded the same as his favorite show, and the cereal his mom gives him is nasty, dry, pasty bran.

Looking at this now, it feels that I spent all this time worrying about whether or not things made sense that the entertainment part is missing. I really need help so any comments or suggestions would be awesome!

Just for Fun

Just to be clear, I hate furries but Guarnido's Blacksad is just way too awesome! Needed a break from my short film and I wanted to play around with water colours again. Drapery is hard!

4th year film concept

Some exploration drawings for the main character/locations and a quick colour study. Drew a lot of inspiration from Brad Birds Iron Giant and Calvin and Hobbes.

Concept for Hogwild

ramp up the volume to watch with the music, it really helps!

WIP: lifting test

My 3d animation always look so slow and sluggish. Its not until the third attempt at lifting the bowling bowl does it feel more urgent. hopefully I can go back and finish this piece when I get time.

arrested development lipsync *updated*

first year stuff

this is so embarrassing but I love Blacksad so whatever lol

WIP: Maya Audi TT model

I love and also hate Maya. It makes the hard stuff simple, but complicates the easy stuff.
