looking at character animation 5

Mr wobbles nightmare

I like the live action background and a flash 2D overlay, the effect is quite fun and simple to recreate.

Mr. Iiuu and The Nasty Bird

I am particularly looking at the way the bird character is made and animated here, being the only 3D character, but displaying a 2D look.

Oggo - Saiman Chow

Oggo is an animation also using the toon effect on the 3D characters which is closer to how I would like my characters to look in the final animation. The animation also runs with a music track like mine will.

Monsters: 092 Castle

Monsters: 092 Castle from Volstok on Vimeo.

The use of a live action background here, is what im really looking at, along with the characters interaction with the real people, I would love to have a clean interaction with people using my characters, especially the marolyn monroe scene.

David Oriley's - Octocat adventures

Octocat Adventures (HD) from David OReilly on Vimeo.

This animation is a crazy paint style, but it is the 3D end part that i am most interested in, and the sketch and toon effect that has been applied to the 3D characters. Id love to recreate a similar cartoony lineart effect on my own 3D characters.

Sorrow Dynamics Page

Here is one of the earliest looks at my model sheets. This one is the dynamics of Sorrow. I took the images mostly from my animatic, because the flash character lineart quality was good enough to scale up in illustrator. Also, the use of many characters gives a really good idea of character dynamics.

However, there are changes I would like to make. During a class discussion, people commented on how the page already looked "too busy" and therefore, I have came to an agreement with my peers in that, "8 to a page" would be much easier to look at, with the name in the middle, 4 on top and 4 along the bottom.

Animatic

This is an animatic I made over summer, it was a better plan than producing a script first, because the exchange of ideas needed to be timed with the music, how to do this best? go straight in and animate with the music.

I made this animatic in Flash. The timing seems to be a bit off however, in the exporting of video instead of flash .swf but blogger refuses to allow flash files unfortunately.
