Parkour...ish

Here's the animation we are working on in my Character animation class. A little project involving some running, jumping, and, in my case, rolling!

Gonna do a bit more animation for the class with lifting/carrying heavy objects and dialogue. Wondering if this might not be where I should specialize my skills.... hmmm.

Walk Cycle Night Project

Here's what we did tonight in my Character Animation class. Teachers describes it as "going back to basics", I call it "learning how to walk again".

The model is NOT mine, just something I found for free online to use. Don't worry, the teacher directed me to the site it was stored on, so this isn't cheating :P

If anyone see's something they think I should improve on, please leave a comment. This isn't about artistic skill. You know as well as I do what looks natural and what doesn't, so no excuses! :P Anyway, I know the transition from the "end" to the "beginning" is rough, but other than that, all input is helpful!

Enjoy

Letter to Hanna

(Navigate to the youtube page for a larger version)

Finally, the animation is done!

As I put in the description on the youtube page, this animation includes around 1,400 words, individually animated to sync up with the production of Glenn's "Letter to Hanna" speech, which was made into a full production by Stu.

This animation was done in Adobe After Effects and Illustrator, and taught me a LOT about how to separate and condense work loads on my computer as well as the limitations of both programs.

You'll likely spot some mistakes or issues with the animation, but chalk all that up to inexperience. Beyond that, enjoy!
