The making of my showreel

"Art is never finished, only abandoned" 

This is definitely true for this sequence. I have been working on this on and off for a while now. It's not amazing, perfect nor what I desire from myself. But I'm going to say it's complete for now. I have to move on to other projects/exercises

Out of this I learned a lot about facial animation. It's very hard for starters. The nuanced needed and the ability to observe key aspects to the performance is the key.

On to the next one. I will get better! 

 This scene from Prime connected right away with me. It's always a balance between something that's to difficult or too easy/boring. I decided to work on this sequence because I haven't animated a emotional/acting shot before.  

I wanted to challenge myself on this one. My main goal was to understand the breakdown process of a acting shot, Improve my facial expressions, timing, timing, timing.

This scene is very difficult, but I love the challenge!

The reference performance is very nuanced. I learned the importance of a single expressions and timing.  In this particular scene, since is a very emotional line, every pause and a certain expressions or eye contact are what makes it

I been working on animating a scene from the film Prime (2005) with Meryl Streep. I think I really pushed myself on this one.

Spy scene that I finished last week. I definitely learned a lot with this project mainly body mechanics and setting up my workflow. 

I was surprise to realize that I spend and waist a lot of time on modeling and rendering and have a hard time not getting carried away. Keeping my focus on animation needs to be where I spend my time while working on a new scene.

I've been focused on life and not been able to get much done. Hopefully I'll be able to focus more of my energy on making my show-reel better

Other quick robot animation. Made in April.

The current state of my show-reel

I'm making a spy sequence at the moment. 

Animation Showreel

I'm making an animation showreel and here I'll be posting the process as I go. I'm open to feedback! I want to improve my skills as much as possible.

A quick test of the robot rig. It was very fun to animate and it reminds me of Love Death + Robots. Maybe I'll animate something from the show. So good. 

The rigs are from CGCookie and the Blender Cloud.
