I just submitted to the Sydney Opera House's GRAPHIC online animation competition.
Voting begins tomorrow at 10AM and goes on for 2 days, and I need your votes to get to the judges table in Round 1!

This seems late-ish

Did I forget to update?

Anyways, please thumbs up if you like :)

Hibernation

Time to get some sleep.

DP nearing completion!

Exciting and scary at the same time;

Here's a couple more stills!

DP Update

Here's a couple stills for now!  I'm getting more secretive, so it seems...
FYI, i hath shifted again...ith.

Set Mock Up, Light tests, etc.

Okaaaay... where to begin

I guess I started building stuff.  Mock up stuff, roughly to a 1:1 scale, except for maybe the height of the trees.

Ground with foamcore and trees just out of carboard and hot glue.  Y'know... cheap stuff.

Here's some scale shots:

One half of the 'hallway' done.

Closer shot

 

Now with both sides done, trying various shots.

Either side can come apart depending on which side I'm shooting from.

Whole mock-up done, circle in the back.

This is actually all I had in materials, so compositing for the win?

More various shots to explore

Now with lights!  Oven mits not included.

Okay so here I have the original shot in mind for the first shot, roughly composited just to see what it looks like.  And the picture after is roughly added color and texture.  So this is roughly what the opening shot will look like, minus the poor compositing, of course.

Well, I probably won't be having any updates until after winter-session semester, unless something interesting comes up, maybe I'll post an animation test... so happy holidays, and see you in March(?)!

Tangent

And now for another something completely different!

This is my Intro to CGI final for this semester's class.  4 week project.
Done in Maya with digital drawn elements.
