2011-12-28T10:55:00.002-03:00

OK, so this is my WIP polishing pass for the dialogue. I think it still needs a lot of work but I decided to post it as an update to the last one. Hope you like it:

BLOCKING!

2011-11-07T00:32:00.003-03:00

Heeeeeey!!! Well, it's been a while since I last posted "in-progress" stuff here. BUT, I decided that it's nice to have the shot's evolution posted in the blog, so people outside AM can follow it's progress. So here it is! This is my next dialogue shot in AM and this is the very first BLOCKING pass! "Enjoy":

New Dialogue Shot!

2011-10-22T04:03:00.004-03:00

I just finished my first dialogue animation in AM! I still think there are many things that could be improved, but I'll leave that for the "Polishing and Portfolio" class next term... For now, I compiled another demo reel that I'll be taking to CTN Animation Expo next month! Can't wait!!

Nice!!

Hey there!! Here's a demo-reel I've put together while working on my dialogue shots. It has the body mechanics shots I most liked from class 1 to 4. I'll update it with my dialogue shots and maybe some other mechanics shots as soon as I finnish them. Hope you enjoy! =)

1 YEAR!

2011-09-27T03:46:00.004-03:00

Hey it's my birthday again! And if you remember, my last birthday was also my first day at Animation Mentor! So, after 1 year, I'm glad to say I'm just as happy as I was in the first day about being in this school! It's AWESOME! Class 5 just started and soon I'll have a full dialogue shot (monologue actually) to share here! Meanwhile, here's my pantomime shot from class 4. Cheers!

Yesterday I found a website called youanimator and decided to register. I uploaded 3 of my class 2 animations and today I received an email saying I was highlighted in the main page! That's totally awesome! =Dhttp://www.youanimator.com/

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!!

2011-06-28T14:30:00.002-03:00

No, I didn't forget about this blog! Thing is: I don't wanna post a lot of WIPs here anymore, so I was waiting for my class 3 shots to be finished to post them. And, as you can figure by now, none of them got really "finished". =(The good news is that, I'm finally finishing them and I'll post soon! So, if you thought that this blog was abandoned, rest assured that it was not! =)Cheers!

Class 2 Progress Reel!

2011-03-27T15:54:00.004-03:00

So, without any further delay, here's my Class 2 Progress Reel!:As you can see, there are some rendered versions of the animations I already posted here, as well as all my class 1 animations. Thanks for watching! =D

Hopscotch Splined

2011-03-26T16:36:00.004-03:00

This is the hopscotch animation splined. It is the last assignment for Class 2! I still feel that it needs some adjustments, but Class 2 is over now, so, if I ever come back to it, it will be in a while, maybe after class 3 is over, cause we starting right away next week! Woot!! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

Hopscotch

2011-03-03T16:41:00.004-03:00

Ok, so I'm doing a hopscotch animation for my final Class 02 assignment! Wow! this is going sooo fast! It is the first assignment with a full character (Stewie) with legs, spine and arms! Great! So here is the blocking pass, any comment, leave a comment! (hehe):

Week 7

2011-02-23T16:08:00.002-03:00

Ok, so this is the final version of the "Fall" animation. If you're wondering why no week 6 post, I can explain (hehe): Week 6 was this same animation in rough spline, so I decided to wait a little more and show the final version instead. Hope you like it! Here it is:

Week 5

2011-02-10T15:08:00.049-03:00

So, in one single video, the week 5 assignment aaaand the Kick Ball revision:

So here it is, the polishing pass:

Week 3

2011-01-24T14:43:00.004-03:00

So this is my week 3 assignment:As you can see, I changed the camera and worked the poses more. I have a lot more poses now which is gonna make the transition to spline a lot easier. Still some things to adjust before doing that though. Hope you all like how it's coming along! Any suggestions, leave a comment! =D Thanks!

Hey Blog! Week 2!!!

2011-01-16T22:58:00.002-03:00

Oh! Yes yes... the BLOG!! Class 2 is at full speed now and I should be posting something already!!! My apologies for that... Actually, week 1 was practically just the Progress Reel that is already here... so, I think it's ok to start off with WEEK 2! In week 2, we get to pick from a list of several different options to animate. I chose "Kick a ball".So here it is, first blocking pass for the "

Week 12

2010-12-16T23:00:00.005-03:00

So, without further delay, here's week 12 assignment: The Progress Reel!Alan Starship AM Progress Reel - Class 1 - Basic Foundations from Alan Starship on Vimeo.

Week 10 was the blocking for the personality walk. Also we had the EXHAUSTED pose. So here it is:Aaand the blocking:

Follow Me!

2010-12-10T15:07:00.004-03:00

Since my friend Jerry Matsko told me he was following my blog, I realized I have never used this "follow" feature here. So today I did two good changes in this blog: I removed all ads (who needs them anyway? hehehe) and added the "followers" section! So, if you check out here every now and then, I invite you to be a follower! Welcome!

Thought Of You

2010-12-09T18:46:00.004-03:00

Well, you probably already heard about this animation by Ryan Woodward in some other blog or site, if not, you're so missing out, go check it out right now! Anyway, if you did see the animation, it's also cool to check out the making of:linkAwesome stuff!Cheers!

Week 9

2010-12-01T19:17:00.007-03:00

Ok, so here's the final version of the walk:And the pose for this week was CONCERN. My first idea was the classic "Thinker", but of course I needed to experiment a bit, so here's the planning:Then, I tried the one in the middle:But, in the end, decided to go with the classic instead:Can't go wrong with the classics, right? heheheSo that's all for my week 9! See ya in week 10!

Week 8

2010-11-28T01:53:00.007-03:00

So, week 8 was the first of a two week assignment. The Vanilla Walk! At first, I thought it was easy to do a vanilla walk, but I noticed that it's really hard to find just the right balance in everything. If you put something a little too much or too less, it looks like a character walk. Also, it's kinda subjective what's vanilla and what's personality in walks because everybody walks differently

Week 7

2010-11-23T19:33:00.004-03:00

Wow! Week 7 is late, so let me post this QUICK:And of course there was the planning too:No poses this week, tho... See ya next week!

Week 6

2010-11-13T03:10:00.004-03:00

Wow! Week 6 was really a rush! I'm posting from Brazil now! Woo!!! I was traveling in the middle of the week, and I took 3 flights! (and missed one of them cause I was late...) I even tried to animate during the flight, but the result was far from great... hehehe In the end, I went back to the basics and finished the assignment in the last minute... So, of course, I wasn't very happy with the
