The show must go on: First pass

This is the first time in a 3D animation that I focus on the key frames first instead of animating straight ahead, which I usually do, and I am liking it a lot better than the way I am used to doing it.

Redid some of the thumbnails to make the poses more dynamic and readable.

Thumbnails: The Show Must Go On

I am transitioning from 2D to 3D animation for the new set of projects. For the first project I am going to use the Eleven rig from the 11 Second Club. Here are the thumbnails of my newest project. In the animation Eleven is pushed out on stage to suddenly perform. At first Eleven is nervous but then after getting into the rhythm the character starts to enjoy it until at the end she slips up and falls.

"I've Had Enough"

From sketches to inks, here is Filbert. My goal was to to have a change in emotion. This project was done in November of 2013. The audio clip is Oscar from Sesame Street.

I remember the Boring Stuff
