2 Character Dialogue Shot for Class 4

2008-11-16T08:58:00.000-08:00

This is the last pass I did for class 4. I'm not totally satisfied with it, because I felt that there was a better way to cut the shots to flow better.

Poses From Pictures

2008-08-20T12:12:00.000-07:00

These are some poses I had to recreate from a picture using the character Bishop from Animation Mentor.

Demo Reel

2008-08-10T02:52:00.000-07:00

This is my "short and sweet" demo reel that shows my abilities as a character animator at present. I am responsible for all the animation.

Class 4 : Session 404 : Dialogue Test

2008-08-10T01:54:00.000-07:00

This playblast is my first dialogue test for my advanced acting class. I found this Christopher Walken audio clip from the movie the Rundown.

Class 3: Session 305

2008-08-10T01:02:00.000-07:00

This is my Pantomime test. The idea is that he goes from happy to angry after missing his elevator.

Class 2: Session 212

2008-08-10T00:53:00.000-07:00

This is my heavy lift test for the body mechanics class. I did a mime dropping an invisible box on a spectator because I haven't seen it before and I thought it would be fun.

Class 2: Session 207

2008-03-03T00:44:00.000-08:00

This is my post jump test for my body mechanics class. I chose to do the "Jump from post to post" assignment from the pick list. I wanted it to be very clumsy and different.

Class 2: Session 204

2008-03-02T22:47:00.000-08:00

This is my first test for my body mechanics class. Animating a ball with legs is a lot harder than it looks because the head. shoulders and hips are all the same thing.
