Our film is looking beautiful. These are a couple of test renders from the film of shots that I animated.

Even though they are just tests, they are very encouraging to all of us.

On the news

BYU's Animation program was on the news



It aired this morning. I didn't get to watch it but i heard that they also aired a shot I did off of our film Butcher'd Meats

Another Trailer

Here is a link to the second trailer for Age of the Dragons. There were some complications with the schedule and the pipeline, so although I worked on a lot more shots on the film, not all of the work that I did ended up in the film.

However most of the shots that I did work on are in this trailer, so even though my work is not what you see, it is really exciting to see the final shots all rendered out.

Jump

We are about to head into animation on our new project at work. It is a project that will heavily involve character animation (I know right?? How excited am I?!?)

This is a test animation that i did with testing the rig that we bought from RocketBox. I didn't use reference so the mechanics are all off, but i thought i did pretty good working from my own knowledge of the mechanics of a jump. I only spent about three hours tops, so yes there are lots of problems, but it was still a fun exercise.

Age of the Dragons

Here is the film that i did some animation on over the summer. I still dont know what the entire story is, since i was brought on around the middle of the project, and i dont think they had an animatic for it. At least not that I saw. So, based on the trailer, there might be a few questionable scenes in it.

When it comes out, maybe i'll post some of the work i did on it.

Here it is

Here is a WEBSITE with more info, if you want to know why we did the project.

Cool Project at Work

The most recent project that we completed at work is a pioneer - jibjab animation.
