Full Feature movie: Automatic Idiot

Well, I guess it's about time to post again! xD

===



Hmmm... I guess i'll just start off by saying that I have continued to make a ton of 3D animations and mess around with special effects. Because my skill is good enough, I am now working on making a full feature movie, along with 10-15 other guys. The movie is called Automatic Idiot, which you can learn more about here: http://www.freewebs.com/automaticidiot/

I am doing all of the 3D scenes, modeling, and animation for the film, which will definately develope my skills as an animator and graphics artist.

You can also check out the video tests on the movie's youtube channel. :)

Matte paintings and animation.

Hey yall.

Well ive been working on alot of things, but here are the most recent...

1: For the last few days I've been working on a promotional video for a forums. Its called the "KKF Oscar Awards" which is like the real oscar awards, except videos are only nominated from people that go to the Knoxskorner Forum. ( www.knoxskorner.com/forum)

2: Ive also been working on some matte paintings/photo manips. They are really pretty awesome, so please check them out. [:
The first one is of a simple view of a city. If you look at the original, and then at one of the changed pics, youll notice I made a construction site on the top right skyscraper which I drew completely by hand.

Changed1: Please check this one out. It took me a long time to draw out the construction site on top of the skyscraper on the right. :)

3: I'm also now starting a different stopmotion animation than flight (which I'm still postponing, not ending). Its a spoof on Indiana Jones and should be pretty neat. =D

San Jose and animation.

Alright, so the last week Ive been gone on an awesome trip to the San Jose Mennonite Youth Convention! WOOO! It was pretty awesome AND it got me away from the computer for once. (haha) While I was there I saw the Adobe building and Ebay cite. Pretty cool bonuses.

As for animation, Im starting a NEW music video to the song "500 miles" by The Proclaimers. I love that song and it will be awesome to animate to. I have my first test WIP up on youtube, with the first 600 frames on it.

Laterz!

Animation and summer.

Well, it has been two months since I posted last, and I have learned a HUGE amount of....stuff.

As you may have seen from my last few posts, I am totally into 3D right now, and yes, I STILL am since 2 months ago. I have learned a great deal, and have a lot of work to show for it. Ill start with some models:





I also just bought a new digital camera, and not just any, a DSLR. :D

It is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and it is AWSOME!

Check out a bunch of pics that I took HERE:

Heres a sample of two of the pictures:



I have also done some awsome CG animations. Here is the link to my youtube profile, and you can click on the different videos.

HINT: The newer the animation the better! I improve with almost every single video. :)

Blue screen, Green screen, CGI, stopmotion.... Updates

yeah, so im not posting as much as I used to, but I just never seem to find the time to post... :P

So anyway, heres an update on stuff that im working on right now.

Any movies?
yes, im making the same movie as I was before, "Flight", but it has been changed a bit, and production is starting to speed up now. It is being animated in stopmotion against a green screen. It will then be put against a CG/2D enviornment. It should be pretty awsome.

Stopmotion stuff?
Well, like I said above, I got some great green screens. Heres a couple of pics of how it looks when it is being filmed (from the camera's POV)
I got 4 greenscreens from michels (an art/craft store), but I only used 2. (One for the background, and 1 for what they stand on) except for the first picture, which only uses a background greenscreen. Btw, each greenscreen was basicly just big poster papers that were green ($1 each).






Anything CG?
Yup, still going at it, and learning the whole time. Its really fun, and ive just finished moddeling and rigging my first character in 3ds Max/Biped!
PICS:

Lamp (anim8or)


Ill post pics of the man laterz....

Ive also done some music since the last post, so heres a song or two. :)

More 3D animation. HUGE UPDATE!

Hey! Ive really been going crazy with the CG lately, and actually bought 3DS Max! It is the best 3d program I have EVER used and it is insanely awsome!

Here is a WIP of my new animation. It is pretty good so far.


And some recent models:



This just a model I made right before I quit anim8or.


And the finished (well not quite) version of the wall thing I started to make.


just the gallows:

More 3D stuff + more

Sorry for not updating for awhile, Ive just not had the time to write...

So I dont think Ive said before that I go through "phases".

So one day I will be "obsessed" with a topic, and a few days later I will find another one to be all excited about.

For example, one day I will be crazy about stopmotion, then:

CGI (anim8or)
Music (FL Studio)
2D animation
drawing
web design
coding

and all kinds of other things, but they always end up with stopmotion. Usually it goes: (for example)

2D animation, stopmotion, drawing, stopmotion, CGI, stopmotion, ect.

But for some reason, that hasnt happened in a whole month! Its all been CGI with anim8or. I have always know that I would end up with doing 3D stuff, just because, what kind of jpbs nowdays can you get doing stopmotion...and in 20 years? Although it would be great, its just not realistic.

So anyway i've been modeling my butt off for the last...many days, and here is what I have come up with.
