Testing the Mouse

I'm working on an animated short that involves an elephant and a mouse.  These are some quick animation tests I whipped up over the weekend, trying to see how we want the little guy to move.



 

 

I've spent the last year working on an animation/video mixed film with my Visual Effects class at UVU. It's almost done and I'm so excited to share it with all of you! This link is the video that our film is "based" on. While we put the finishing touches on our film, I thought I would share this with you so you know what to look forward to. Enjoy! =)

Bird Character

This is the character I've been developing for my Character Developement class.

The Remote: Opening - extended

The Remote: Teleport Take 2

The Remote - Entrance

I just finished this rough animation. Here it is. The opening scene for The Remote:



The Remote - Sticky Remote

The Remote - Teleporting

The rest of my class needed more time to finish up their scenes for the short we're putting together, and the assets aren't quite ready for us to take the animation into 3D, so I decided to throw together another gag for the film. In this scene, the character is teleported somewhere off screen ...

The Remote - Spelunking

My class is building a short, gag-filled, cartoon and each student is animating an individual scene. We spent one day developing the story and another day designing the character and the setting. The story is about a guy who can’t find the remote that controls his television.

In my scene the character digs through his chair, searching for the right remote. This is just rough animation, I’ll clean it up after I get the motion perfected.

Horse and Wagon

I fixed up the walk cycle a little bit and decided that while I was at it, I might as well start animating the wagon too.

Horse Walk Cycle

I did a quick walk cycle for the horse the other day. I realized this morning that I forgot to animate the shoulders, so if the front legs look a little funny, that's why. I'll post a revised version when I get around to fixing it.

Trot Cycle

I'm animating a horse for one of UVU's short films, Dark Day, or as we lovingly call it, Cowboy. This is my first attempt at a trot cycle, It could still use some work, but improvement will only come with practice.
