Week 2 in AD108

This week i plan to get quite a bit done, or so i hope!

Monday - update blog with 3 examples of animations i found/liked during my research, and working on my 3d character.

Tuesday to Thursday - Working on 3D Character during class time and organising paper work at home

One film I found during the research is Hoodwinked - I watched this film years ago and loved it and then the other night while I was looking through the hard drive I came across it again. Its got all the elements a great animation should have - good characters, good story line and humour.



Another animation I liked was a demo reel with a simple character trying to eat steak but he has no mouth!



A lot of the character animation videos i found had the character lifting or pulling objects. This might be something worth looking into as if loads of demo reels have it then i guess it might be good to know how to do it myself. First things first thought, i need to build my character!!!

In class we were given a hand out to research certain artists and watched a few pieces of their work. I liked all of them as they were quite different to eachother. I liked Gluko and Lennon because it was really random (i posted this clip on last weeks blog).

Another 3d character animation i found was by Daniel Klug - it is a short he created a year ago. I like the movements, the colours and also the simplicity to the characters.
