Week 11

Character Design with Craig Kellman
The assignment of the week was to create a non-human biped, that in the following weeks will be sculpted, both as a marquette and in 3D using Maya and Mudbox. With no real limitations to the project I found it hard to decide on what to do, so I ended up creating a naked/roasted chicken that is also a hypnitist/magician.

Timelapse result of the LnR project

So this is the result of the LnR project; what started out as a 50ties kind of kitchen - inspired by the wallpaper texture I found, in the end turned into a dollhouse...I used some depth blur in order to give the impression of a doll house/miniature set....go for the full screen mode in order to see it proberly. On this project I worked with Maya, and for the compositing I used Fusion.

Week 8-10

- 1. picture is a test render and the 2. is how far I've got, and as you can see I need to put in a lot of stuff -

Light and Render project with Oliver Kirchhoff
The goal is to do a timelapse, showing how the light will pass by a single room during the course of a day.
In this the first week of the LnR project I have been working on setting up my scene, trying different lights, and off course waiting, waiting and o yes more waiting on Maya to render....
The room isn't entirely finised, I need to put in more stuff, like for instance some curtains, maybe a plant, some picture frames and shelves and just general kitchen stuff....more to come in next week

Film Jam with director Amy Winfrey
Six different directors, working with groups of both first and second year, animators and CGAs, and the overall theme of "the outsider" and with the common goal to create a lot of small animated films in one week.
I've worked with director Amy Winfrey on one of her projects; "I saw a Monkey" we worked with cut out animation, in Maya, so using a 3D programme to make something look 2D. It was a really fun week an the movie turned out great, even though we could have used a couple more hours to make the final tweaking.

Week 5

- a few panels from the story bead; "St. John dies" that I was working on -

Story Board with Tod Polson
working in small groups on a short story called "the Hound" by H.P. Lovecraft breaking it down, into the major story beads, then individually board out one of these story beads.

Lay Out with Uri Kranot
We started out doing a lay out that should include; Bonnie and Clyde and their car, right after they were shot.
Second assignment of the week was a part of a story board from an animated batman series...
And finally we got a little animation we then had to make a background for and finally compose it making it into a little "movie"...

Week 3

- color thumbnail for my final image -

Color with Lawrence Marvit
color theory; with among many things the bias color wheel.
besides that we spend the week trying to get a better understanding of color, by mixing paint - and even though it made me feel like a second grader - especially because the outcome was so awfull, it worked...

Week 2

- my final result for the extended space for the Hopper painting; compartment C, car 293" -

Architecture with Gulliermo Yángüez

We spent the week analyzing paintings by Edward Hopper, I worked on the painting "compartment C, car 293", then we were supposed to make an extended space for our painting based on the analyses. My extended space takes place before the Hopper painting, on purgatory train station, where the character is waiting to find out where she is going...
