Camera fly through

My first camera fly through. This was the first time I've animated a camera =)

Animation spelt through letters.

 

This is the final product from everyone's letters that were made in class last week/today. I really like the designs of each letter. Go team, YES!

Stuff I made this week

I've decided to try and post as many blogs as I can this year. It's my Chinese New Year resolution because I already have a New Year's one =P So here's the stuff I made/bought this week =)

1. & 2. I got a new bookshelf this week and stuck them on my desk.

3.I drew this guy in my book on Tuesday when my group was brainstorming ideas for our project and made him in 2 days. The creature is made from this really nice fabric and is filled with polyester fibre filling (I bought it in a bag from Riot today). I'm still trying to come up with a movable character that can work well in a stop-mo project. It was good to sew him because now I know what stitching is good/bad, how much stuffing to put in and what not to do...

4.I made a duck earlier this week and gave it to a friend then I tackled the abstract creature =] The duck is made from carpet material and is filled with beans (from a bean bag). The beans made on odd feeling when you squished it together, and they made a crackly noise.

5. Bought these from a discount store a couple of weeks ago. I plan to stitch them onto a bag sometime in the future.

I also have a few pages of concept sketches I wouldn't mind posting but at the moment do not have access to a scanner....

Paper Creatures

Working around with character ideas for our community project with Reverse Garbage =) We are doing an animation for them and at the moment are deciding on the medium. Flash? Stop-mo? Both?

I quite like the idea of doing a stop motion animation using materials and artwork from their store. I also really want to make some plushies. I have a few ideas for creatures that I can make so I'll give it a go!

If you haven't heard of Reverse Garbage visit them online here.They're in Brisbane (West End) and they get materials from business from all over Brisbane and sell them at super cheap prices to the public. Great for art materials! You can get fabric, wood, paper, plastic, computer parts, old bikes and all sorts of bits and bobs.

The Robot

Last post of the day =) Moom is a rather cool, easy to use rig. But my favourite is the squirrel. Even though he's more difficult to use, I like him.

Poses for the end of the day =)

Spud gets eaten by Arnie who is being stalked by Squirrel. =]
