A lil delayed but here we are :)

Took a while, but finally get a chance to do my update :) Made for Mother's Day, 8 months in the making, numerous sushi consumed to ease aching stress...

Last few days...

I finish Coop on Wednesday, which is a sad thought. There is still so much I want to do here! Currently workingon developing the fourth year film which is a nice little bumpy ride. Okay maybe a big bump. Anyways, I'll post more of that later on. Here is some of the work I did at Big jump the last three months!

Design a girl, and rigged her in Flash. This is her rotation.



A Rough animation done in Flash on a Cintiq in the first week of Coop. Quite a scary moment, since it was hard to get used to the fact that I have put hesitation lines down like with a Col-erase!


The Clean up of the sneak. There are so many problems with this but I'll refrain from fixing them. Learnt a lot about how terrible my original rig was from this XD


And finally a walk cycle that can be reused. Some took a few days, some took a few weeks, some as many as 4 retries! But in the end, if its nailed, you only gotta animate it once :)

Summer's almost over!

I really do suck as updates but stuff is coming up! Spent most of my summer cooping at Big Jump Production, an Ottawa based studio who just completed S4 of The Secret World of Benjamin Bear, airing this fall! Its been awesome here, so great that they've granted me an extension here into August!

I don't have too much to show, since Flash is still so new to me. Practiced a few storyboards from the Ben Bear scripts, which makes it so much less scary. Also created and rigged a character in flash for animation:

It is surprisingly scary how long it took to rig her up, and even then not all parts could've been used for animation. Good thing though: Clean up is done~!

I have also uploaded a portfolio website to http://www.chanimated.com/


I'm not too happy with the layout at the moment but fixing it isn't a priority. Currently focusing on creating a proper demo reel and media player, or I might just cheat and use Vimeo/Youtube (which do you suggest?)

So much still to update on, and will try to do so over the next few weeks! As for those who are still waiting on Oddysea being uploaded, I'm procrastinating and you can kick me if you wish.

Press play!
