The Beauty of Animation

This amazing animation that my best friend showed me.

Watching this animation stopsme in my tracks and fills my mind with every frame of this movie. The simplistic style of the characters mixed with the fantastical elements within the dance makes this a driving animation that I love to watch over and over again :D

Hey everyone! Sorry for the non postingness, uni has been one hell of a stress ball and my lacking of internet at home really dosen't help!

Moving on....

This weekend in the lovely city of Wagga Wagga, the Australian International Animation Festival (AIAF) is being held!! Am I pumped.... HEEEEEEELL YEEAAAH I AM!!! XD

This amazing festival of amazingness is sure to blow my mind, but unfortunatly it seems that not many other people have noticed it's amazingness :/

Today I went to the cinema to buy my full 3 day pass to the festival, delighted that I get to have my brain jam packed with the worlds currently most awesome short animated films for 3 days straight on the big screen for a mear $40, only to get there and realise that only 51 tickets have been sold! OUT OF 300!!! My mind was blown for all the wrong reasons. How can people not want to go to this super cool festival? I. Just. Don't. Understand.....!!!!!!!!!!!

Anywho, I'm totally pumped and I can't wait for the weekend cos I'm havin a break and going to AIAF!!!!!!!!

Movie Review - How To Train Your Dragon

This Dreamworks, Animated feature film has got to be one of my favorite 3D animated movies! The humor, the Vikings, the dragons, the animation, the Vikings, the dr- oh Thor almightly there is just TOO many things awesome about this movie!!

Frist of all, I'd like to start off by saying that the way Hiccup is animated, coupled with the voice acting of Jay Baruchel creates the perfect balence of awkwardness and humor that make me love this character. My favorite part has got to be when he's impersonation his farther saying "Excuse me, barmaid! I belive you've bought me the wrong off spring! I ordered a beefy boy with extra guts and glory on the side! This? This is a talking FISHBONE!".......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahah!!!!!! I love it :D

Continuing on from characters, the dragon Toothless was AMAZING! The lead animator on this panther like dragon actully modeled the dragons movments form his cat! When I was watching the bonus features for this movie and heard this, I was like "I KNEW IT!!!" :D

During this movie, Dreamworks Animations try out a new effect with cloud textures for their flight sequences... did you notice? Well I certainly noticed how nice and light and fluffy those clouds were! I felt like diving into the movie and swiming in those clouds!!

Based on this movie's look, story line and characters... I give this movie a BIG thumbs up and a 10/10 rating with a 'MUST SEE' lable stamped on it :D

Happy movie watching!!

Animating The Inanimate - A Walk Cycle's Adventure

Alrightly everybody, so.... In my Amimation and Visual Effects course at uni, my first assessment is a walk cycle. 10 seconds of pure hand drawn, animated goodness with a side of HD and footstep sounds! Naturally I started off REALLY exited about makeing my little guy bob up and down, taking his first steps.... I was such a proud "mother".

But the stress became stronger and the time in which I had to handed it in became shorter and soon I was onto my second version of the walk cycle...

I sat at the kitchen table and fought loong and hard for this basic sketch... Along with 13 of it's bretheren. All of them together make a some what smooth cycle, but alas, it was far from finished. I soon found an enemy in the animating of the arms. Their annoying subtleness and pain-in-the-butt-to-draw-ness... *sigh*

A CHARACTER IS WHAT I NEED!!!!

Toilet Door Man ACTIVATE!!!!

...
Or so I thought...

Now I have a man with no arms and no neck walking along, waiting to be completed...
