Wilfred and the Lip Sync
After watching one of the latest episode of Wilfred, Conscience, episode five if I am not mistaken, a scene caught my eye when the protagonists friends boyfriend tells them a story of his past. Something about the way he said it got me inspired and in the coming weeks I will be putting together a short 10-15 second animation using that dialog. The results should be interesting.
MORE TO COME

I should update this more often...
Been a while, school and other things keeping me busy, but lots of work came out of it. So I really can't complain. Updating my blog isn't high on my list of priorities at the moment.
In my studies over the past few weeks, I have learned a new program that I've never dabbled with before, Adobe After Effects, a very fun visual effects programs. And I can tell you one thing, that program is very addicting, I can't get enough of this program. One of the first things I created was assigned in my current Motion Graphic class. We had to create a five day weather forecast animation, here was the outcome;
The night after I returned from class I was motivated to play and tinker with the program and some 3rd party plug-ins to make a music visualizer with particles that 'danced' to the beat of the song. Without sleep I worked for a few hours through the night and created the following;
Credits to the song of course, "Professor Green feat. Example - Monster (Camo & Krooked Remix)" While the animation plays to the whole song, some parts did, in my opinion, work much better with the song. I recommend watching from 0:25 to 0:55 and 1:45 to 2:45.
Later that week I was assigned a project in another class to quickly model a 3D mechanical 'robot' and place it onto a flat background, composing them together. After finishing the assignment I was looking at the image and a thought came to mind to tinker with composting smoke into the image and turning into a short video, little bit of camera shake, and dust, for added effect. Using my knowledge from what I learned from class I put together this short piece;
'twas fun.
Then that show, through the wormhole, on the science channel came on. Here we go, flying through space time, it was a quicky', but a well enjoyed one at that. I had two test with it, the first one didn't quite hit the scale I was looking for, the second, ehh, came a little bit closer.
le first attempt
le second attempt
I think they both have a different feel, but they are both progress in a secret project that I've had in mind since I was younger.
While that's all I have at the moment, but sometime at the end of this week I will be finishing up an animation I have been working on for the past few weeks and I'll have a whole post dedicated to that. I also made a twitter, so follow me.
