Super-quick Flash animation between a frog and a fly.

(more…)

This is what a traditional animator does.
Over and over and over and over.
I just wanted give a feel of what it is to see your animated frames come to life when flipping/rolling them manually.
And I would not complain if someone found a way to give me a second left arm, so I could flip more than five pages at a time
That’s all the preview you’re going to get for now on my film!! Hope you enjoy

An Educational Film on the Hair Growth Stages in a Male
This was my 48-hour film for CalArts ‘08! The word for this year’s film fest was “Hair”. I’d been wanting to make a brochure out of this concept, but decided it would actually make a pretty entertaining educational film, and was perfect for the subject matter. When they said 48 hours, they meant 48 hours with a week for editing. Initially, animating this took 3 days– sandwiched between classes and homework, plus an extra hour for voicing (which, unfortunately, took an hour; I was told the next day that people could hear me in the dorm halls and were wondering what was going on!)
I should also mention that my friends won’t let me get away with saying “gravity” anymore. I have to say “GWAVITY!” else I get scolded *cough, cough, CARLOS! cough*.
Enjoy and be enlightened

There you go, and there you have it! My BFA-1 first semester film here at CalArts!
Total frames: 330
Total hours: …………………a lot!
Fun factor: 9.5, easily!
Happy holidays, everyone!

NOTE: Please visit the video’s YouTube page itself and view it in High Quality to see the actual animation! Otherwise, the default lo-res version doesn’t portray anything but a moving muddle of mush….
A quick, not-too-terribly-smooth flip test of my soon-to-be-uploaded-to-Youtube-so-the-world-can-see first semester film, Butterflight. This is only a minor cleaned-up segment. Check back next Thursday for the entire film

This was our sixth project in our animation class, for which our teacher provided us a simple stick figure character, gave us some music to inspire us to dance and then made us animate him dancing. What a tough one this was!!

Our fifth animation was to make a fluffy fox tail wag about.

For the fourth animation project, we needed to make a living can interact with an inanimate ball.

This was my third animation project, where I had to animate a cylinder and make it jump. The material could be anything– a tin can, rubber, or… in this case, perhaps gelatin?
