Animation Demoreel 2011

My year 2011 3D Animation demo reel. Enjoy :P And..i would like to thank my masters n tutors (Seniors/Lecturers/Classmates) who had taught me tons and getting me this far, seriously..

3D Animation : Dialogue Short

A Dialogue short animation done for an animation class assignment. This is my favourite piece, cuz i think it had more characteristics to it compared the rest of my animations, Ive yet pull it off again in my other works. It all went well on this one except the part where i had to animate a few steps which weren't included in my reference. :X. lol, well that was a bit a headache well , trying to bear in mind to include the walk in the reference to make it easy on myself next time :P.

3D Animation : Dialogue

Dialogue animation done for an animation class. I had more control over this one among the rest of all the animations I've done so far, thanks to the new found workflow, after spending days and weeks searching for most used/basic workflows by various animators (seriously Infinite thanks to them for sharing it for free) and also straight forward ones i could tryout, as long as it keeps me on track during animating.
I remembered planning to try focusing more on the timing and the east in/outs for this animation while keeping in mind to not go too far on the overlaps. It got really challenging the moment it reaches the Lip Syncing part where they hve specific rules when choosing specific poses for the mouth for certain pronunciation , however..everything turnout almost the way I've wanted. ;)
This assignment also helped me realize my weakness in ending an animation. XD

3D Animation : Pantomime

Pantomime animation done for an animation class assignment. This assignments taught me how important it is to have a workflow and not just blindly keying stuff. Aside from that, this assignment helped strengthen my understanding in overlaps and taught me how much you emphasized on the overlap also affects the style of the animation.

3D Animation : The Take

"The Take" animation done for an animation class assignment. 1st time experiencing the pain of animating a character while trying to "manually" pin the elbow onto the table...well that's for not having an "elbow lock" feature on a rig. T^T

11 Second Club_October 2011 entry

My very 1st entry for the 11 Second Club done awhile back. Was kinda nervous when i did this cuz i did it before actually starting the Dialogue Animation classes and i had no idea about the basics to bear in mind when animating dialogues. It turned out ok though, learned a lot after this one.

3D Animation [Practice] : Jump

A basic body mechanic practice i did a while back during semester break. Had the most fun with this. Fun rig to play around with..its sad it had rigging issue and had no idea to fix it :X

3D Animation [Practice] : Acrobatic

A basic body mechanic practice i did a while back during semester break. I remembered having a hard time with this one cuz i was new to animating acrobatic actions.

3D Animation [Practice] : GetUp

A basic body mechanic practice i did a while back during semester break. Had to rly werk harder cuz my past animations were horrible and chaotic. [looked like stop motion animation]
