I am currently taking a collaborative class this quarter and part of the class is pitching an idea  in hopes of making a short animation. I pitched an idea I had about a vampire who went to claim his first victim, only to bite the guys dog instead. I had a previous post showing an image pertaining to said idea.

Needless to say my pitch got picked up and my short is currently in production. I have an amazing, talented team behind me and its beyond amazing to see this come to life. Above is the vampire model sheet I made. From here, my producer, and extremely talented modeler Danesh Taraporevala, will be bringing this guy into the third dimension!

I will post more along the way, but this is the official post for my directorial debut!

I have a feeling this is going to be small....

...For my Digital Cel Class, in which we use Adobe Flash, we have a layout assignment. Layout is not a strength of mine to say the least. However I am attempting to create a background for a clown character I did (see previous posts). They always say stepping out of your comfort zone only makes you better, so with a little luck, this assignment will improve my background/layout skills.

Here is a very rough version. The clown character is difficult to see, I know. My professor said to stay away from horizontal lines and try more diagonal line work. Horizontal lines tend to lead off the page, where diagonals are more dynamic. I will be posted more as the class progresses.

Another St. Patrick's Day madness picture!

I know that it has already came and went, but here is what St. Patrick's day looks like in Savannah Ga. I think this year it was reported that Savannah had the largest celebration in the country. There were an estimated one million people in the city that weekend. Crazy to say the least!

Hello All! I apologize for not posting in a while. Between spring break in Savannah, GA and St. Patrick's Day, I've been a little busy and preoccupied. Nevertheless, here is my final animation assignment for my character animation class.

The dialogue is from a show called "Stella." I am quite pleased with the end result, seeing as this is like the sixth thing I've every animated. I intended to go back and make tweaks here and there. I had a lot of fun with this. I really like the over-the-top performance and drawing the keys were good fun. All in all, I am excited for the future and my progress!

For my final in my animation class, we have to do another dialogue excerise. I had a difficult time trying to find the "perfect quote" to use. I was going to do the Adam Sandler quote from Happy Gilmore, "You're gonna die, Clown!" but kept coming back to this one. Originally I wanted to have a duck be saying this but decided instead on using an easier character to draw.

I'm pretty happy with it thus far. There's still more to the animation and quote. I'm going to update soon once the piece is finished. This is just the first half......enjoy!!

Hello All,

I apologize for the lack of posts and updates lately. I have been quite busy with finals and haven't had anytime to post new work. I am currently working on another dialogue piece of animation that will hopefully be posted in due time. I have also completed the "Sleep Fight" storyboard and perhaps I'll post a few of those stills.

In the meantime, one more week till SPRING BREAK!!
