Bingo

This was a freelance project for my friends at http://lifepathentertainment.com/


Motion Graphics: Jim Jinkins

This was a final in my Motion Graphics class, where we primarily learned how to use After Effects. Our assignment was to choose an admired artist and display our knowledge of a checklist of effects in the program. I do love Doug.


Pivot & Flash: "Stick Thriller"

I actually created this in about 2005 just for fun with the free program "pivot" - before I had had any animation classes whatsoever. I never expected it would get over 200,000 views on YouTube, however, I must attribute some of its popularity to the fact that it is based on the great Michael Jackson.


 

Final: "The Moon Walks"

Our final was to be 30 seconds of animation incorporating all the principles we had learned over 3 months. As a huge Michael Jackson fan, I thought it would be a lot of fun to try and synchronize it to the first few phrases of Billie Jean, even though I wasn't really able to layer in sound at the time. I was actually amazed when I finally added it in much later and my timing for the sync-up was so perfect! I am such a nerd!

 

Zibbit Takes the Cake

Exercise: A character must lift and carry off a heavy object. Zibbit really loves cake.


Zibbit's Weight

I kept with Zibbit, this time to demonstrate the differences in weight with a lighter object, a heavier object, and him, a medium-weighted object. Some cheap tricks and cycles taint this a bit for me now, but still my first class here so cut me a break. :)


Enter: Zibbit

Little bean creature hops up onto a table for a piece of cake. An exercise demonstrating squash and stretch, timing and anticipation, made in 2006 in my first animation class.


Morph

First "morph" animation I did, from a realistic bird into my character Scooter. Could use a few more in-betweens, but, alas. Whoops, forgot to morph clothes!


Bouncing Ball

The very first, hand-drawn, animated bouncing ball I ever drew in my life. I hadn't quite grasped spacing yet, and was pretty enthusiastic about the whole thing, so it is a tad slow. Ah, nostalgia.
