Sequels eh..

Second attempt at the one day animation idea wasn't as successful as the first. A lot of it came down to not having as much time in the day to spend working on it but just as much was down to poor planning on my part. The good thing is I made plenty of mistakes which means a LOT was learned.

I've made myself post the video up here as a reminder that I need to spend more time planning shots and the idea that even my bad work is going to end up on here should motivate me to get some better work done.

One Day Animations 02 - Pin Sit

I'm not going to dwell too much on the negative, there are some things I like about the shot. The concept was a fun one too so I will probably redo this at some point. I guess another good thing about only having one day to work on these is that I'm not falling in love with my work; I'm more open to the idea of completely rethinking a shot.

I'm gonna try another one tomorrow so I need to get thinking of ideas...

Cheers

First of many!

I decided today it was about time I set up a blog since my website is probably a long way off...

I'll update the profile with a bit about myself soon I'm just going to use this post to show the first in what will be many one day animations. I had the idea to set myself mini briefs for shots and give myself a day to work on them. It's supposed to help me speed up my animation and tighten up my workflow; kind of a crash course.

I've learned a lot already from this first attempt, even though I didn't get to finish it...

One Day Animations 01 - Trip

Next one of these will probably be on Wednesday. I'm gonna try to get as many done as I can over the next couple of weeks until I'm more confident with my animation, then I'll be starting on some more polished stuff.

Comments and critique would be a great help but I'm probably not going to come back to finish many of these. It's more about preparing me for getting some show reel worthy animation done...

Cheers
