Progress Reel For Quarter 2

So I finished the second quarter at Animationmentor.com. I'm pretty pleased with my work thus far. I think I could probably do better with more time, but with work and a marriage to split my attentions this is the best I could do with the time I was able to give it.

Sticky Door Final

Here's what I turned in for my final Sticky Door Animation.

Sticky Door Refining

Here's the 3rd stage of cleanup. I didn't upload the revised blocking stage cause it wasn't that much different. I've still got a few bits to tweak here and there, but I'm actually happy with how this one is turning out.

Sticky Door Blocking

This is the initial pass for my Sticky Door assignment. The final animation for the quarter. I had 4 other things to choose from but this one sounded the most fun. Others were throwing a ball, pushing a heavy weight... boring. I'm pretty close to my frame limit though, 250 frames max.

Pole Jump

This was the second assignment for the second quarter. Again choosing from a list of things to do I chose a pole jump. I find it very difficult to come up with something completely original. There are alot of great animations for this out there already and not mimicking them is a challenge.

180 Turn Around

This was the first assignment for the second quarter. Out of 3 options I chose to have "Ballie" do a turn around. Not satisfied with just stepping as he turns around I chose to do a strange little kick turn. My reference video was fun to shoot and I'm sure I appeared very strange in the parking lot as I was "performing."'
