Showreel 2011

I finally made my first showreel and uploaded it on Vimeo.

Click here for Showreel!

I wonder why I put the cheetah there. The walk is kinda nice but the head wobbles too much.

The video quality is pretty poor, I know. But it's the animation that matters! Right?

Rejected keyframe

Here's an old keyframe of a scene that I am animating for my showreel. The scene went through many changes and in the end this picture, which was supposed to be the first frame, was taken away. As a drawing it looks nice but it just didn't fit in with the other frames.

Puppet test

So, now I have an account on Vimeo and I have uploaded one animation test there. It's puppet animation. You can watch it here.

The moose puppet in the video was build by me with a little help from my teacher. It is my first puppet that I have ever made. It doesn't really look like a moose (looks more likea a crossbreed between a bear and a manatee with horns) but at least it moves well.

The fur is made of ordinary shower towel. The head and horns are made of Efaplast Light modelling clay, and painted with acrylics. The hooves are made of milliput and also painted with acrylics. Inside the puppet there is wire and plastic foam.

Just fooling around a little bit. :)

The legs bend quite nicely. The jaw, eyes and the ears also move.

A moose vs. a dinosaur! Place your bets!

I will someday upload some photos how the puppet was made.
