300 - What a waste...
...that it takes an extravagant visual treat of a politically-basic, big-budget, mega-hollywood event of a film to get people to appreciate a brilliant book that they haven't actually read and probably never will.
It's opera and I loved it. But what a waste.
UPDATE: Hmmm... could I be wrong?

The End
The guy taking our course is a final year student from the Royal College of Art, named Martin Ruyant. He's French and he did his graduation at Supinfocom school in France. There he made a film with a couple of other people called, The End.
Although the visuals and animation are really good, I was much more impressed with the simple story and strong concept. Have a look below!

Starting Animation...
Starting to learn Maya animation now. This is a ready-made rigged model that I'll be working with. Soon you'll be able to see some walk cycles and other animation.12 March 2007

Learning MAYA
I've finally got on to the 3D bandwagon with Maya 7.0. Will be working with this software till the end of the semester (April 16th). Considering that I'm already really enjoying this, I'm sure that come April, my fingers will be glued to the mouse!Till then, I'll keep seeing polygons and texture maps everywhere I go.

KEEDA Continues...
Stop motion animation is a lot of fun as well as a lot of hard work. Here are a few more images from the set of our film "KEEDA" -
But looks can be deceiving!
Hi.
Bye.
The look and feel of the set is very important.
A forest of lights sets the mood...
...and once the actors arrive...
...it's time to animate!
It helps to follow the storyboard, of course...
And one can't forget to fill up the dope sheet!
Some of the more stubborn actors have to be forced into action.
But it all comes together...
The characters are built first...
But looks can be deceiving!

Jack Model Sheet
Sorry for the delay in posts. Was ill during Christmas. No excuses now though. Here's Jack... a character from my Kinetics exercise. The turnaround is useful for animation. It helps to know the proportions. Jack has a springy body, but it's in three different parts; all suspended magically!
