This was just a little test I did for a maya class that ended up not being about what it was intended to teach you. It was supposed to be about edges and compositing 3d things into live action footage, but things like stop motion puppets… I think. It was taught by Josh Mosley who’s work if very cool. We ended up just making 2d puppets in maya in the end; it was only a 3 week class. So...

I forgot I haven’t posted this yet. For my last assignment I put together my last assignment along with the final project, so it’s a little longer than the others. As always, getting the table together and making the extra puppet and everything took me way longer than I thought. So in the end I only had like 4 hours to do the animation. I went to like 20 minutes before class started....

I had to make this as a test to get out of a class that was teaching the adobe suite and after effects. This is what I put together following the instructions. Unfortunately the After Effects class I’m taking in lieu of this class isn’t really teaching me anything new yet, and the teacher seems confused when everything he trys to show us doesn’t actually work. Kinda frustrating.

These are a some of the excercises from my Intermediate Stop-Motion class. I usually get about 2 hours to work on them before a lighting class comes into the shooting room, and I never know what I’m going to really do before hand. Being limited on time and being forced to do something creative that will be shown to people freaks me out bigtime, but I ended up being surprised at what came...

This assignment we were told to use found objects. There’s a trail that I walk on to get to school and there were a bunch of acorns in varying degrees of rot, which I used for the opening effect.

For this one we used toys, but they couldn’t be hinged. Like they had to be toys that wouldn’t animate well. I went to all 3 of the second hand stores around but NONE of them had toys. Probably cause after they were literally swimming in them at some point and the Head General at the Salvation Army put his foot down. I don’t blame him, who buys used toys? My roomate ended up...

I did this yesterday and it was a mess. The assignment was to make our character wait and also do a emotion change. I remember watching Chris struggle with melting clay and a hard armature underneath in high school, and now I got to experience it first hand. The clay migrates around the armature alot and your fingernail is always cutting grooves in the surface. It was actually really fun though. ...

CalArts Month One

So I’ve been avoiding speaking too much about school because honestly my first impressions weren’t the best, and also there’s a ton to cover. It’s now been about a month so I feel like I have a much better (and optimistic) handle on things. So far I like it. I’m not crazy in love with the program but it’s pretty good. At first I had to take a bunch of...
