Cauliflower Knees

July 3rd, 2008

Been away for a while. I was busy at Chuck Gammage Animation since school ended, but Amanda and I finished up there two weeks ago. Hopefully this is the start of me posting ever so slightly more over the summer.

Also I’m using my DeviantArt again.

Model Sheet + 3D

April 20th, 2008

These are some poses for one of the characters from the western story assignment. The poses were done at different times so there’s inconsistency in the line quality.

And this was the last assignment for our 3D class.

3D and Sketches

March 21st, 2008

This is my first 3D model. It was made in Maya for a school assignment. It’s an interactive flash window, so hopefully everyone can use it (just drag left and right). If it looks messed up or weird on your screen let me know.

These are some sketches from my trip to Ottawa a whiiiiiile ago.

And this is my page in the Sheridan flipbook. Hopefully the book will be as nicely put together as last year’s.

Old West Designs

February 20th, 2008

These are some designs that I did for my second year story pitch. We had to choose between doing a western, victorian, or medieval story. Essentially my story is about two men that put their lives on the line to win the love of the same girl, who just happens to be the most hideous woman in all of the west. And thanks to Amanda Zima for helping with some colour stuff!

The Six Pocketed Man

January 23rd, 2008

A sketch and a colour version of a fellow animation student.

This is the lip sync animation assignment. The sound might be a bit off because of youtube but I think it’s pretty close.
The dialogue is from a 1944 movie called  “Arsenic and Old Lace” starring Cary Grant.

One More Clean Run

January 9th, 2008

This is another cleaned up run cycle from the walk/run assignment. There are still things with it that I think I’ll change, but it might have to suffice.

It’s my birthday…yup…

December 23rd, 2007

Today is my 19th birthday. yay.
Some more cafe drawings..

This is a cleaned up run cycle from the walk/run assignment. I’ll have the other two cycles up after the holidays.

Sketches and ‘The Dark Years’

December 17th, 2007

These are some cafe drawings from September and October, I believe.

Also, over the summer at Chuck Gammage Animation, I worked on a mini TV series called ‘The Dark Years’ as an animator and in the character design department.

The air dates on the History Channel:
Part 1
Wed. Dec. 26th, 8pm - 9pm

Part 2
Thurs. Dec. 27th, 8pm - 9pm

Part 3
Fri. Dec. 28th, 8pm - 9pm

I know it’s a busy time of year but if you get a chance, check it out. You can see a preview and some screenshots on the National Film Board’s official “Dark Years” website.

Wave Boat Sack

September 30th, 2007

The past month has been pretty busy. School’s on again and the Ottawa International Animation Festival ended about a week ago and I missed a lot of school because of it. It was definitely worth it though. Hopefully I can post the sketches from Ottawa soon, along with more school work.

This is my wave boat sack animation. The camera I used to shoot was filthy.

Sketches 8/16

August 16th, 2007

Here are some sketches from the past little while. I’m so ashamed that I haven’t posted in almost a month. In my defense, working at Chuck’s has kept me very busy, I’m away from home 11 or 12 hours a day. And I was sick two weeks ago and had to go to the hospital, so that ruined one free weekend. Anyhow, I have a few more things waiting in my sketchbook, impatiently. I’ll get those up as soon as I can.
