Another clip from my animation project. I am about 70% done at this point and can actually see the finish line. I am extremely excited about this project and hope you are too! So far, it has gotten excellent feedback from all the people I have shown it to.

Hey everyone. This blog has been a barren wasteland because I have been animating my ball hairs off on a project consisting of short, random animations involving the character you see below. At this point I have animated 23 of these short animations. There are 16 more to animate until the entire project is finished.

Trying to sit down and practice drawing since I literally never do. The result: weak ass drawing skills. I've made myself sit down to practice 5 times over the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping to make it a regular habit. This is a small portion of my practice drawings. Hopefully the next batch will show a somewhat noticeable difference.

I haven't touched my pilot in 4 months. When I finally become disciplined and stop being a lazy good-for-nothing you will see it complete. But that won't be until the year 800 billion so here is another animated clip since I don't think any of you have time machines.

Sometimes when you're working on an excruciatingly bland children's show, you need to take super quick doodle breaks in order to maintain your sanity:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Here we find a father figure who has promised his son a brand new video game system, but has really just painted a cardboard box to look like a video game system. The kid doesn't find this joke to be very amusing.

1) Furniture has been added - BG and FG elements.
2) The run cycle has not yet been tweeked.
3) Scene shrunken down to make for better framing.

Thanks again for all the great critiques guys!

Crsp, yours especially for the tip on framing Up Chuk differentely (since his head was getting cut off). It made a HUGE difference to shrink him down and now it seriously looks 100000% better!!

This is why all of your critiques are so important, you guys catch stuff that totally slip right by me. Now my pilot will be that much better thanks to all of you!

progress post #06

This is how Up Chuk feels about the painfully slow process of traditional animation.

Something is going down in Up Chuk's living room. He runs to investigate. The idea here is that Up Chuk is running through his house, jumping, and then sliding into his living room:
The critiques all of you gave me for this initial run cycle really helped! I wanted to thank all of you again and encourage you guys to never be shy about critiquing these animated clips.

I will continue to post this same sequence in stages of progression, until it's final finished state. That way you can sort of see my process.

PS. this is not the only work that I have done since the last run cycle post. So don't worry ;)
