Dancing Penguin

This is my Animal Animation final. The assignment was to animate a penguin to a music track. I animated to 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' by Wham!

It's turned out pretty well but I'm not completely satisfied with it and I really hope to go back and fix all the things that bug me.

Dinosaurs!

More animal animation homework. A walk cycle and a 'behavior' piece. I'm pretty satisfied with the walk cycle but I'm definitely going to go back and fix the obvious glitch in the leg and the problems with the second one (the jump, the camera, the props, and render.)

Scorpions

This is my second assignment from my Animal Animation class. There are some things I like about this animation but there are a lot of things I want to fix. Maybe when I have some spare time I'll fix all the problems with it.

First Animal Animation Assignment

I'm currently taking an Animal Animation class and this was our first assignment. It's a simple bouncing ball with a tail. I've done this a couple times before but it's always good to practice the basics.

Character Animation Final Project

This was my final project for my Character Animation class. This was my first time animating a lip synch. It was a completely new experience for me. I want to go back and fix it up but I may just decide to utilize what I learned in an entirely new lip synch/animation. Character Animation has been my favorite class I've taken at the Art Institute.

Character Animation Assignments

These are playblasts of some of my most recent animations. They were assignments for my recently completed Character Animation class with Floyd Bishop. Eventually I want to go back and fix some of the problems in these.

This was out first assignment; to have the character turn around 180 degrees.


The second and third assignments were a walk cycle and a run cycle.



The next assignment was to have the character jump.


This my project for the heavy lift assignment. It was my first time animating two characters interacting with each other.

Old CG Animations

Here are some CG animations I did in the past.

This first one is a basic animation exercise. It's just a bouncing ball with a tail.


This one was an assignment where I had to animate the claw somehow getting the ball into the box.


Here is a playblast of an assignment where I had to animate a lamp.


This last one happens to be my very first CG walk cycle ever.
