Well, technically it’s been finished for a week now, I’ve just been too fed up to blog about it until now. The past month has been incredibly busy and seeing as my field, post production, comes last (who would have thought?), I haven’t been sleeping that much lately. Lack of sleep coupled with missed deadlines [...]

So we’re finally at the animation stage. Or have been for the past few days. To get the most out of the remaining time, Andreas, Aleksander and Jamie are chipping away on the shots while I render them out and take them through compositing.
As I’m the last person to touch the footage before editing, I’ve [...]

Wasn’t I supposed to blog every day? Or at least every day I worked on the student film project? Shoot, I keep forgetting. Well, there are actually a reason or two for my absence this time. Firstly, I’ve been ill, still am after a manor of fashion. The same illness has been bothering most of [...]

It’s been a busy couple of days and therefore little activity on the site. On monday we presented our film idea and got some feedback. Might work some of it into the film. We then shifted focus to concept art as we need to have characters, environments, storyboard and animatic ready by the 12th of [...]

Working on some digital acting assignments for school. The first one is a block animation where the character is to lift a heavy ball, carry it a couple of steps and then put it on top of a platform above the character.

The second assignment is about facial animation and lip sync. We were to [...]

“The Diversion” is an animated short film about an energetic old woman, Rose, who wholeheartedly wishes to enter a night club. When the guard at the door refuses her entry, she devises a series of clever schemes to get to the door without the guard knowing…

So the movie is finally done and we’re reasonably happy [...]

Had some speed modeling challenges at school last week. Most of them with an hour to complete modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering. Was quite happy with these two. Both scenes were lit using an HDR image and a single omni for shadows.

The teacher told us to create a simple 3d character for use in the upcoming animation lessons. I came up with this one. Made a face for him too, but that’s not quite ready yet. I prefer to keep him anonymous for now. Rendered with V-Ray and and lit with an HDR image. The resolution of the [...]

Ok, project’s over and site’s updated so I thought I’d do a write-up as promised in an earlier post. Those who know how to count might have guessed that this was the third big assignment given at 3D design and animation at Noroff 07/08. As such, we were once again to build on skills already acquired and [...]

This was the second graded assignment I got at Noroff. We were just starting animation at that time and so we were assigned a ride movie which only need animation on a basic level.
