sorry to top one is so small

Hi there *waves*

So i havn't hit up my blog for a few days now, had lots of work to be doing, oh and Call of duty Black ops came out awesome game i must add got a sick poster at the launch, it shows how a few extra polygons can go a long way :).

been doing lots of little animation test still, thinking i need to get on and try and start animating for my actual short animation brief, i have basically been playing around with different movements and placeing them in a half finished version of one of the environments,

"its ashame i forgot to change the colour of the inside eyes on the sitting down one :("

need to try and get as much done as possible as im off to "Encounters Film Festival" in Bristol on the 17th so thats going to be 4 days out of the mix, should be fun though, they are showing one of my favourite animations aswell.

I love this short animation one of my most favouritest pieces

anyway time to hit the sack ....bye for now :)

IT's all grEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Back in the green screen room today, helping out harry with his second year project, i forgot how

much the green room screws with the eyes, no wonder im having to have a relax now and watch the justice league animated film.....

ohhhhhh how i miss the days of Fox kids, so i have decided now that i will try and update my blog daily no point haveing it collecting dust.

Downloaded a really cool app for my i phone the other day, called "Hipstamatic" you can basically you change the lens and flash of the camera and get some cool looking effects.

I have been messing around with the footage that was recorded today, i will render out a little clip and post it up once done .

Started to do a few animation test!!

so now that Mr Eggbert is rigged i have started to do some animation tests just to nail down the way he will move, its been a long while since i animated a character :/, think the last time was in First year, it kinda sucks that we didnt have more animation lesson through my second year.

first i started with a smal 25 framehalf walk cycle which came out kinda cool

then i had him playing a little footy :) its just a quick little test :)

more tomorrow -_-

although i have got my mock job application out the way, buisness cards look cool :)

Update :)

So life still has been hectic, working through this brief of creating a short individual animation for my first Semester. i have chosen to re-design the story of the sword of the stone.

at first i was a little stuck for inspiration, but its surprising what a trip out of stoke on trent (They call this place city) to Birmingham a REAL! city, makes me miss the hustle and bustle of London :( spent an awfully long time in forbidden planet maybe a little too long my bit of plastic felt lighter from the card machine as i left :P

Moving on i have finally now got my main character for my production rigged :D YIPEEEEEEEEE, i am no longer squished into the great big invisible wall of "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

also just finished putting the finishing touches to my CV (first draft :P) and promotional material for one of my assignments, now just to sort out my postcards with my blog spot address on.

just a quick one i am now off to bed and watch Inception for the second time Awesome movie, if you are interested in dreams and the subconscious part of dreams you will love it :D

over and out!!!
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE we have a rig !!!
