Hah

It's funny how I'll probably be posting more stuff on here, now that I've graduated and I have more time in my hands (not that it really matters to anybody). Or not. I dunno. But I do want to start blogging more often--whether I use this one or I create a new one is all up in the air though.

Anyway, congrats to the 2013 graduates (us :) ) and to the class of 2015. There's a lot of stuff waiting for you guys ahead, so be prepared♥

Holiday Card Contest



This was such a last minute submission, I don't even know if they'll still count this as an entry, but oh well.

Let's see where this will go



And then came the head @ 3:30am. I need to take a shower.

My shabby attempt at creating a 3D character model in Maya for the first time. I'm obviously still not done hence the half face lol, but I think I'm slowly starting to get a better grasp on how the program works now..

No, this has nothing to do with any of my projects ._.

GRD 3300 (Illustration) Blog

insert art here

I'm gonna be posting my illustration class work on this blog from now on. I'm glad that I'm taking this class because it pretty much forces me to draw more, and I really needed that to get myself going this semester... It's a lot of work, but I'm enjoying it so far :D

Animation Project

[EDIT]


It's a wonder how audio can change the impact of a video so much..

---


I wasn't done with the animation when I uploaded this 3 days ago (hence the missing audio and the bg on some of the scenes), but I'm rendering/uploading the complete version right now. Finally. So this video is to be replaced with the updated version later in the next couple of hours along with a formal creative brief.

It's disappointing how I didn't get to finish this even when I didn't really procrastinate for it, and I thought I got this -_- But I feel like I've gotten a lot more comfortable using AfterEffects and filming with green screen now, so at least I learned something out of it, right?

More gifs

I didn't get to upload the complete rough video on Friday, so I made more gifs instead to show the progress. I have more scenes done, but I haven't made those as gifs yet, so I only have these to show for now. I think I'm almost done though.. I just have a few more scenes that I have to animate. I've already picked out the BGMs, so the video making part shouldn't take too long.

Some Storyboarding



Please excuse my terrible handwriting--or should I say, "I'm sorry for writing in Japanese"? I knew that I was going to be posting these on here, but I guess I was really sleepy and forgot about that or something when I first started working on this.. This is more like a self-memo. It probably doesn't make any sense to other people because it's so messy, but at least I can understand what's going on?

Here's some rough gifs:

corresponds to #8 on the storyboard

corresponds to #9 on the storyboard

Yes, I do have more animations done. No, I'm not going to make them as gifs because it takes too long to make them, and I'd rather spend that time making the actual animation on After Effects using the camera tool instead of the move tool on Photoshop.

VROOM VROOOOOM

You know what's sad? I used to blog like all the time, and I actually had a LiveJournal that I updated almost everyday; in fact, I still have it--it's just that I never use it anymore. I should get back to the habit of writing something daily again... Maybe that'll motivate me to work on my stuff more.

Anyway, more gifs!

Photobucket

This is what I had on Wednesday.. It doesn't look like this anymore though. It was just a rough animation just to get my idea down. I've been on my computer since, day and night, working on some animations that only last for like.. 5 seconds (literally) LOL so sad ;________;

Photobucket

BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET TO SEE LIKE A SECOND OF THIS (literally).
