If you don't know (but hopefully figured out), he's a salesman (of the door-to-door kind...I'll add a slight environment and maybe give him some clothing props to help sell him later) selling a vacuum that sucks, and I don't mean it does what it's supposed to do. He tries to demonstrate it and the switch breaks off.

It's a cool and fun little idea (I was always anticipating making one for KAFI as well, but they got rid of that). So, being a big fan of Valve's Team Fortress 2 character videos "Meet the..." series (which, if you haven't seen, are some very good and entertaining character animation shorts and I highly recommend you check them out)...it started out that I'd almost directly parody one or two of them and just twist it to suit my needs, but now the only real thing I'm borrowing from that series is the titlescreen, the very basic concept of the films, and the song. So, as it's due on Friday, depending how it comes out once I shoot and edit it, I may post it up here in the very near future...otherwise, all you have to go on is this sweet little title card made by Jon Mendez.Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-40153532150072743182008-08-08T09:26:00.000-07:002008-08-08T09:30:53.984-07:00untitled unupdated update title<span style="font-size:85%;">So with family interference in the first part of summer and working on the film for the second part, I haven't gotten around to doing my personal animation work, and here we are, approaching the next semester...and I am gonna get hell for not being an intern on ACME, and I haven't done anything I planned to do (work-wise) besides this film.

Ok well technically, none of these were originally done this semester (except the montage pieces) but all this work is revised/cleaned up animation (and in the case of the BTR scene, quite revised and fairly improved). Top one is my "final" BTR Grav room scene, I have final in quotes because I may still revise it based on pro advice, but I have some plans this summer to lead me in the right direction and possibly help make the revision easier to execute. In case you're wondering, the plan is to go back to basics and use a very simple rig of just a ball with legs and a hide-able tail to try to get some good simple character actions (walks, runs, jumps, whatever), and more importantly, work out a process for animating in Maya. The second video is my montage pieces for the film, and the bottom is my Flash cleaned up section of my sack pantomime from 114. I'm still considering spending a portion of the summer to devote to cleaning the rest of the film so I can have a fully cleaned and colored pantomime.<br /><br />if you feel like comparing to old versions, my original BTR scene is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17sZG41MAkk<br />and my full original sack pantomime is here:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9yMouwbbTo<br /><br />ok, back to work.Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-43467793914408383432008-04-29T17:13:00.000-07:002008-04-29T17:16:29.911-07:00Poem drawing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50gqDpYtEMIbYDTnlhujSjOzzw47eGtWaO6GC8aw2bu5n_TLbTogB2ZH0gkQ1GSWEZLA1YDkPMVUzXJ5IRHOF5zjR4WLU1cep1lH-_BLl_5QbOrYqibvGWdDp6TeMcdgnzkAR/s1600-h/cropped_poem.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50gqDpYtEMIbYDTnlhujSjOzzw47eGtWaO6GC8aw2bu5n_TLbTogB2ZH0gkQ1GSWEZLA1YDkPMVUzXJ5IRHOF5zjR4WLU1cep1lH-_BLl_5QbOrYqibvGWdDp6TeMcdgnzkAR/s320/cropped_poem.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194825213161645058" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;">Dumb little drawing for a vizdev poem design assignment based on a Shel Silverstein poem.

The top one's a military scientist working on human regeneration who lost 3 of his limbs when the lab he was working at previously was attacked, now he's working at an underground lab. He reports to a gruff, overbearing General who wants fast results (character number two). Anyways, without going into too much more, I think I'm going with scientist number 3 (the second from the right) and the middle General. I still could use a name for them...haven't really spent any time trying to think of one. The story takes place about 30 years in the future over in the area of Russia. Any suggestions on name...or design elements...let me know! I have to go do costume variations now...Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-54238415246887100202008-01-15T04:10:00.000-08:002008-01-15T04:31:12.457-08:00DIP (doodle in progress)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSY_rvNejf03oURKZDh99z8NWGAN9ljA3o2oQ8kkVTz5Fa4hfmy2hvFLdiaIWq4rUQegEIMl5XhxWGAN8wBdz7xsPzkc8SnWUoP0HcmKk_bu66PK1AwRN4ive6NkvPf_12Stmz/s1600-h/creature+doodle+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSY_rvNejf03oURKZDh99z8NWGAN9ljA3o2oQ8kkVTz5Fa4hfmy2hvFLdiaIWq4rUQegEIMl5XhxWGAN8wBdz7xsPzkc8SnWUoP0HcmKk_bu66PK1AwRN4ive6NkvPf_12Stmz/s320/creature+doodle+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155674864140658002" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Wow three days in a row, I've been doodlin! It's past 4am and I should be sleeping so I can head down to Marin around noon for lunch, but I started doodlin this, and really wanted to make a quick painting pass on it as well. I also wanted to play around with possibilities for what the young of the creature looks like.<br /><br />I'm thinking more reptilian now (I think I prefer terrestrial egg laying). I'm also thinking that this species also spends time caring for its young rather than leaving them to fend for themselves at birth...so the young are floating nearby, watching mom or dad hunt below the surface, also watching and learning how to swim. Up to a certain age, the young would be too buoyant to be able to dive and swim underwater (like a baby otter). The forearms are even less developed in the young, being proportionally shorter almost like those of a T-rex or raptor, and on land, would move around more on their hind legs til they reach a certain stage of their life when their forelegs have grown longer. This also means the young rely much more on a kicking action with their hind legs to swim...like a duck. The adult shows how helpful the webbed feet are in maneuvering underwater and making quick turns. If they need to swim in a relatively straight path and want to go faster speeds, they tuck in their legs to make themselves more streamlined and swim with a side to side motion (see a gator, croc or marine iguana), and make minor steering with its forelegs. Anyways, it's 4:30am...enough dorking out for now.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">I'll probably make another better painting pass and clean up some linework once I get back up to Roseville Thursday evening..as I'm going down to SJ Weds for our BTR meeting....but I may just work on my animation for that project rather than painting....or I'll do both and alternate projects! So if any of my BTR groupmates are reading this...see you Wednesday! Everyone else, see most of you soon once the semester starts!</span></span>Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-48589554940061500322008-01-14T03:38:00.001-08:002008-01-14T04:05:55.401-08:00more creature doodl'in<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_-Wmy1xQf_c8bGKAYv2OtamT2bK5HE0y8GXsL1iEnbi-Kmxmtkz8MswapJBlb3YOxzL6UqhfjYOWk7L-MQTVW536LmyPfkL5tR5TDLI_7Lq5X-39aFCiBDhJ_gdUTyXBZvSk/s1600-h/creature+doodle+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_-Wmy1xQf_c8bGKAYv2OtamT2bK5HE0y8GXsL1iEnbi-Kmxmtkz8MswapJBlb3YOxzL6UqhfjYOWk7L-MQTVW536LmyPfkL5tR5TDLI_7Lq5X-39aFCiBDhJ_gdUTyXBZvSk/s320/creature+doodle+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155295433844827458" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">So it's 3:40am, and I'm still up watching a Monk marathon and wound up doodling another version of the creature, and I'm starting to try to think of a name for it. It still feels a mix of an amphibian and a reptile...guess I could do some research and actually discover the differences in the classes, but leaning towards amphibian because its webbed feet would suggest a partially aquatic life, and I feel like it would have a thick/coarse skin rather than scales (I don't know if that's a real difference between classes, but it seems like it). I was watching "Before the Dinosaurs" a day or two ago on Discovery or Animal Planet and there were some big beefy amphibians that were like giant alligators...but were classified as amphibians...so...yea. <br /><br />I've been thinking more about the creature's physiology. As I said before, it has webbed feet to help propel itself in water along with the use of its tail. The noticeable difference in muscle mass between the fore and rear legs would suggest much more reliance on power of the rear legs, and that it should be able to jump fairly large distances like a frog. It also has similar stubby toes to a frog and may be able to grip normally slippery surfaces with small suction cups on the toes. But I've also considered that it might have sets of small claws on the toes used for grip as well as digging and defensive/offensive purposes. I have not quite decided what kind of habitat it would exist in, and if it's an omnivore or a carnivore (definitely not an herbivore), or if it's a day or night hunter, among some other considerations.<br /><br />By the way, I accept all critique/comments/suggestions on anything.... my draughtsmanship (or lack of), painting ability (or lack of), anatomy, etc, etc, etc. I'm just finally doing something to practice and have a little fun. I'm no painter...I just (do my best) to make stuff move.<br /></span></span>Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-35393725865331789892008-01-13T22:18:00.000-08:002008-01-14T01:35:55.663-08:00doodleoodleoodle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2uK60u9JqzIqF_8YcDv4V5OTwz-XiIX0ZXgZgE8FqgeYPqSoRV79RG5JyHUCGQdDKix2L8O9BTOBrCe0w1o9WsCvyHRp7BHvJirx1yPNZtK41eL1YBMlYoSmhJh7ZIm-3YlK/s1600-h/creature+doodle.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2uK60u9JqzIqF_8YcDv4V5OTwz-XiIX0ZXgZgE8FqgeYPqSoRV79RG5JyHUCGQdDKix2L8O9BTOBrCe0w1o9WsCvyHRp7BHvJirx1yPNZtK41eL1YBMlYoSmhJh7ZIm-3YlK/s320/creature+doodle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155215328409789746" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">So I've been getting a little restless during break and itching to work on something. After numerous doodles which I deleted after a few minutes, I finally came up with something I at least kept and felt like doing a quick paint of...and this is it. Some wierd amphibious creature. I started playing around with background info on it in my head, but haven't nailed anything down, other than its amphibious nature because of its webbed feet. It could also be a reptile since it has some reptilian characteristics in its head, and its long tail can be used in swimming like an alligator or crocodile's. Other than that, nothing much... and if we don't have our BTR meeting soon, I may be restless enough to expand on this creature....we'll see. hah.<br /><br />edit: I finally also updated my links somewhat...most likely will add more people and sites eventually.<br /></span></span>Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-84185693091092874512007-12-21T15:59:00.000-08:002007-12-21T16:19:30.797-08:004 months (a whole semester) later, finally an update!<span style="font-size:85%;">So it's been a semester of blood, sweat, and near-tears...two animation classes, plus working as cleanup on an outside project proved to be quite a lot to handle....and yet I don't have very much to show for it in terms of animations to show off. I don't care for my cat tests or final film from 115, don't think I can show what I cleaned up for the outside project since it's for Nickelodeon...so I believe they control it. I think some of my maya tests have potential, so I'll be working on one or two..but mostly I'm happy with how my final film came out. It still needs quite a bit of work, which I'll be doing during this break.<br /><br />The whole concept to the film is that the rig (character) finds himself in a room and heads for the marked exit, but is foiled in his attempt, which begins a sequence of similar events. Mine was the 5th room in the film so he's become a little skiddish. Anyways, here it is!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/17sZG41MAkk&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/17sZG41MAkk&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10380401706197540948noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30447016.post-76497739356522294052007-08-07T23:51:00.001-07:002007-08-08T00:00:32.829-07:00little sketch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_E-8ehw3UmJMbzBgu_OFPh8hi3OpH3VyZ-XJ9TGZ8eXFeM6Y1n6-EA4QD4pv_bpzpc5YCud36JeATlkwHtm5eQZzv3kAkj2GVvZyMO1TQ1E1kSDVROHagLbm0zzLGMQg1bOom/s1600-h/fountain.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_E-8ehw3UmJMbzBgu_OFPh8hi3OpH3VyZ-XJ9TGZ8eXFeM6Y1n6-EA4QD4pv_bpzpc5YCud36JeATlkwHtm5eQZzv3kAkj2GVvZyMO1TQ1E1kSDVROHagLbm0zzLGMQg1bOom/s320/fountain.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096220677106928578" /></a><br />proof!
