Latest work
The first shot is done with a smarter workflow. I spent 60 seconds worth of animation tests to speed things up and get more control!
Jason Taylor Workshop
Fränk Spalteholz from Animation School Hamburg organised another superb workshop. Jason Taylor did quite a few amazing demo`s and gave great feedback.
Day 1 - Animating a Facial "Take"
Day 2/4 - Animating with Isolated motion
Appeal
I love to stop, stand still, and take apart great poses like these.
A balanced stance with a slightly forward bent torso, finished off by that tilted head: Defiance. The way the little skeleton looks at the bigger head is superb. I love it.
Athens
Visited the city for a few days. The people of Greece are very relaxed and friendly. In a big crowd they move with an uncanny lack of haste, not slow mind you, everybody just moves forward without pushing. Its really quite good to experience.
keith Sintay workshop
I`m back from a few wonderfull days in Hamburg, Germany. Saw a dozen talented animators and watched how they aproach their scenes. It was great to exchange workflows & talk animation.
Mark Walsh Masterclass !
This guy is passionate and once he gets fired up you start getting what he cares about. After three days and a dozen pages of notes its changed the way I look at animation. It will not come across in these few lines but basicly, character animation is two things. One: a stylised way to present motion (The principles). Two: ACTING! Once again the muppets show up and show why acting is important. As an animator its just not enought to create motion that fits the mood, it really needs to have just as much work in the acting.
