Recognize?

Been trying to get it right for a while now. Wonder if it works now.

Bird flew

I've been wanting to try animating a small bird for ages, bun never got around to it. So when I started on this silly short film venture, I thought - hey, as long as it's silly, it might as well have a bird in it. So here we go - my first bird animation test. What say you?

Stanly & Ron

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time - ever since I got to know Calvin & Hobbes. I had to wait for the right idea to come along though. I don't know if I'll ever do more Stanly & Ron comics, but anyway, here's the first one:


P.S.
If you don't own "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes" yet, you're wasting your life away. Get it immidiately!

Facial animation concept

This here is a very small test I made to show how a mouth might work for this character (right click + save as on the picture). The idea is that most of the time there will be no mouth, and it will only pop up for stuff like fear or laughter. Don't mind the actual animation, it wasn't meant to be perfect.
The "facial rig" is very simple. Most of the animation is done with free Translation/Rotation/Scale animation. There are a few morph controls for the mouth, and one squash/stretch control for the whole face, just to make it feel a bit flexible.

Something fishy





Corny title, I know.

These are some rejected fish concepts I did for a commercial. I won't mention any names, because the production is still happening.

I've been in Israel these past couple of weeks. Glad to be back, and will continue posting at the usual rate (once or twice a week).
Cheers!
