Demo Reel v2 Jan 08

Here's my biggest project over the holidays - rebuilding and updating my current demo reel. I shortened it overall, and cut in some new 3D work, Flash animation & character designs.

It's a constant work in progress, but here is the latest!
[Sorry for the small-ish size - that's blogs for ya!]

A rendered Elf

So here's my final render of my Thinking Character assignment - my first character animation in Maya. It was so fun!

And just in time for Christmas :)
Enjoy!

Saaaaannnntttaaaaa!! I know him!!

Here's a still image from the final render I did of my first Maya character animation assignment, it was entitled 'A Thinking Character'.

I had SO much fun with this, I can't wait to do another one! This can definitely do with more tweaking [I could tweak 'til the cows come home], but this will do for a first pass for my revised reel over Christmas break.

Stay tuned for the rendered movie with audio.

My first walk in 3D

This model dude was done modeled/rigged by our Maya prof, Mike - the walk cycle animated by moi.

I can't wait to start animating my own characters! Oddly enough I find Maya much less intimidating than hand-drawn animation......
