http://andreasnor.com Art, Portfolio, Showreel Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:35:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Finally done with the animation. It actually got finished today, and a bit of the beginning of the animation got changed in the last minute. This is why it isn't of the same quality as the rest, so I'm not happy with it at all! I'm fairly happy ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/03/01/cca-ica-part-1-full-lipsync-animation This is the stage where I'm starting to see the end of the tunnel. The main animation is there, but still lacks something. I started to do the lipsync with phonemes, but it took too much time, so I started doing jaw movement instead. This sped up the process significantly, and ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/02/28/cca-clean-and-lipsync Finally got to a rough animation. The main movements are there, but there's still a lot of work to do besides the lipsync. The poses are timed to fit the voice acting, but it's not quite there yet. I have tried to make it look less like a block animation and getting ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/02/28/cca-the-rough This is the stage in between block and rough, simply because I made the block half-finished before I made it into the rough animation. The timing is getting fixed and the poses tweaked a bit. I tried to experiment a bit with the lipsync, but decided I should delay it until ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/02/26/cca-going-from-block-to-rough-animation [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="254" caption="Invader Zim, a huge inspiration for my animation"][/caption] I started on the animation by blocking out the key poses, and tend to use quite some time at this stage. This is important, because I want the exaggerated poses to follow through to the final product. My inspirations have ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/02/25/cca-block When the voice actor(James Harris) sessions were over, I started creating a very rough and quick animatic of how I wanted the final animation to be. The camera is supposed to go closer in on the scientist, as he gets more and more intense and frustrated. It was made in ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/02/24/cca-animatic My hard drive crashed. While my computer is up and running again with a new hd and Win 7, I've lost all my files. Every single one. I curse thee, foul desolate storage units of despair!!! The good thing though, is that I have Win 7 as opposed to Vista, and I've ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/02/08/ave-hard-disk-drive-crashed-no-backup-links I have been working hard to finish the previz and presentation, which I presented this friday. The previz was based on the animatic, but with clearer camera moves. The presentation was terrible. Sure, they liked the previz, but they didn't have much faith in me pulling it off. So I will have to ... http://andreasnor.com/2010/01/25/ave-previz-and-presentation I've had some problems with my primary mail account lately, so if you've tried to contact me in the past two weeks, you'll have to do it again. Thank you :) http://andreasnor.com/2009/12/21/contactmail-problems I haven't been able to work on AVE, because of a lot of work on the DC3, SPB and PP60 modules. What I have to share now is some of my research. The volcano will be based on the one from The Lord of the Rings (Mount Doom), but with a brighter ... http://andreasnor.com/2009/12/14/ave-research
