WIP: Blood

on it last stage.

Here is the final one on character animation class...

make the ball come to life!!

fiesta!

It has being a while without animation...

Two years with no animation at all, nothing, nada!
Now I took an animation class here on the Academy: 3D Character Animation 1. So back on trail. Here is the first exercise, a bouncing ball that must make a little performance on no more than 10 seconds.
This is the simple blocking animation, no in-betweens or smooth movements. A small video on preview mode.

Elmo

The character's modeling is finished, it keeps all the things I wanted to include in the character from the beginning. Extremely simple shapes, no details like mouth, fingers, just gestures of them. Keep it very simple simple, without loosing being expressive.

Here is with a recorded animation, just to analise the rigging and flow of the character, at the end it will not be animated. I will use just Still images.

Elmo

El Huesped (2004)

In 2003 I worked during 3months in a chilean film "El Huesped" by Coke Hidalgo. My job there was make the character design, concepts, modeling, animation and composition of a cg monster in a life action movie, allready shoted and with an actor that I had to replace.

It was a very big chalenge for me and an incredible scholl there, to get the goals in squeshule was a hard task. Limited budget, limited time and a very small team. But at the end I am really happy about what we made in this horror teen movie.

High school work, my first pro vfx hehhe

Many years ago in high school me and a friend Andres Varela had to make an tv spot for the media class. We spouse to use just a handy cam and shot something rational and give an idea to the audience. Our story was about property and life, responsibility, parents and the huge work it means.

The brief was: A man wait in the bus stop and find a piece of wire. Take the ware, look at it and he starts to give it same shape. He create a little stick figure made from the wire. Then suddenly the bus arrives and he drop the little wire figure and takes the bus. Then the figure brings to life, stand up and run desperately following the bus. At the end tired and frustrated the figure stops and someone walks over it killing. At the end the message:
"What you created it's your responsibility, take care of it!"
