Taking a break and helping animals

Between class 2 and 3 I got a whole week of holiday!! Which was pretty awesome for like a day. On the second day I was super bored, but then I realized that I still had one project that I needed to work on.

I had been a volunteer for RSPCA Cambridge and District branch since last January, and I took on the responsibility of designing a new website for the branch. The current site is a bit of an eye sore (in my opinion), full of info, links and random stuff that is not very user friendly. 
Don't believe me? take a lot at it!

So, with the help of other people at RSPCA, I designed a new website.

Unfortunately, it is not live yet... but hopefully it will get approved soon and you guys can visit and test it.

In the mean time, here is the link to the site. Even if its not my design you guy can still read about all that RSPCA Cambridge and District branch are doing in the region and you might be interested in helping. Perhaps, you can fall in love with one of the cute animals that need to be re-homed. Either way, please stop by the site and support your local RSPCA.

End of Term 2 (Spring 2012)

Heck yeah!! I did it! I finished my second term at animation mentor and I'm thrilled about it!! I only had three assignments, but they were hard! This term, I particularly enjoyed having to go outside and shoot myself for reference. It give me a different perspective on how the body has to move when I was animating it. I also enjoyed getting feedback from my peers at AM, which helped me to improve from pass to pass. Also, according to my mentor, Dana Boadway, I improved a lot from my first to the last assignment. Her comment made me very happy :)
So here it is my reel including all my animations of this and last term. What's your verdict? Have I improved a little?  a lot? 

 

Climbing

For my third assignment I decided to animate Stu climbing! I went to the park and shot some reference of myself... Let me tell you something, it's harder than it looks!!
So, here's the video starting from the final animation, then the passes and finally reference. Enjoy!

High Jump

The Olympics are everywhere so with that as inspiration I animated Stewie (without arms) running and doing a high jump. The video includes me running, an athlete actually doing the  high jump (cause I was not even going to try it!), and the animation passes from blocking to final. Hope you like it!
