Bafta to "Zingizilla's", Blue Zoo production

2010-12-07T09:17:00.000-08:00

The show I worked in 2009 London at Blue Zoo called "Zingizilla's won a Bafta in the ‘Interactive’ category after beating The Secret Dancer, Home Sheep Home and The Well. Blue-Zoo originally produced all of the animated idents for the ‘Zingzilla’s’ TV series and was then commissioned by Helen Stephens and the in-house Cbeebies Interactive team to work with Plug-In Media to create the animated characters for the website. The project was run in-house at Blue-Zoo by Tom Hales.

That's pretty cool, well deserved to all hard worker animator over there. Congrats Tom, Mat, Adhia and All Blue Zoo studio, congratulations guys.

Play Game animations I animated these birds behind the counter, pretty fun days.

Also, congratulations to all who worked Whith Helen on Bedtime stories.

Milt Kahl talk to students in 1976

2010-10-06T14:49:00.000-07:00

In a talk to students in 1976, the year he retired, Milt Kahl was unusually articulate in summing up his thoughts about the art of animation.

“It’s a very difficult medium. Animation necessarily requires a pretty good draftsman because you got to turn things, to be able to draw well enough to turn things at every angle. You have to understand movement, which in itself is quite a study. You have to be an actor. You have to put on a performance, to be a showman, to be able to evaluate how good the entertainment is. You have to know the best way of doing it, and have an appreciation of where it belongs in the picture. You have to be a pretty good story man. To be a really good animator, then, you have to be a jack of all trades. I don’t mean to say that I’m all of these things, but I try hard. I got accused over the years of being a fine draftsman. Actually, I don’t really draw all that well. It’s just that I don’t stop trying as quickly. I keep at it. I happen to have high standards and I try to meet them. I have to struggle like hell to make a drawing look good."

I just received an email from my AM mentor with this quote that I want to share.

Arcs in Real Life

2009-12-13T11:14:00.000-08:00

I was editing this video of my soon being born and I found this part, I wanted to share.
Beatiful arcs and a kind of "cliche" gesture when she says "even in the future, but now...", but its real life. Nice to see that same gesture or "cliche" animation have a reason to existe, they are based on real life, they connect straight into our brains....
Another good point is of how much a camera movement can deform arcs, you can see this on the green arc.
Happy animating and merry xtimas.

Horse Maya_ZBrush

2008-12-14T07:01:00.000-08:00

Hi
That's another quick 3d sketch I did last couple of days. I've started in maya to build the low poly model that I took into ZBrush and added musculature and details from then I exported displacement map and a low poly model resolution level 2 and rendered it into maya using mental ray. That is a nice technic, it brings into the model nice details adding a lot to the character.
I feel I need to concentrate better in generating UV maps, I guess a lot of the discrepancies from the ZBrush model to the final horse render is from a bad UV map.
Anyway that was just to learn, first time i completed the all workflow. I want to test how it would behave in animation. I guess would be very weird see all the muscles not moving or getting strange deformations. Here are another few lessons to learn.
Thanks all.

Novos Lideres from Dmca on Vimeo.

This job I used particle with goal to match the objects . the brief was straight, can you do it in 2 weeks time? ( a job is a job, I can't say no, specially in difficult times like now) , I had never used particles before, so i did a small research and found that it isn't too hard to achieve that simple look.
I worked long hours and used my wife lap top to help the render. It's a very simple sphere particles set up, a few fields to move the particles about and animate the goal value for the particles. The trick was emit the exactly amount of particles for the object vertices and kill them for the next object with different amount of vertices. Well it can get complicated, adding goaal PP and radius PP expresions .... and goes on.
No time at all to do anything too much fancier. It was a good lesson in particles, render and composition in After.
Thanks David cook for the advices with particles, cache and ideas in comp.
Thnaks to Mauricio, who forwarded this job to me.
In difficult times to get a job in London I got this freelance from a client in Brazil, that is lucky and maybe means that It's time to come back homeland.
thnks all

This is another project I worked on at Steel Drum studios. Copyrights Steel Drum studios.
I've done all the characters models and 90% of the animation. Also I've help the rigging team to set up, we used the Setup machine and face machine, it's a great rigging script, very easy to set up and give lot's of controls to animate.
It took to us, 4 people team, about 2 months to finish this project. Again I've learnt new thing about rigging and rendering.
Now I'm back at Bird studios to do another "Limitless" video.

Here is an updated, I'm still working I just added all the positions for this shot. same changes in timing and still missing something at the end of the last jump to connect with the cycle, I've toned down the arms swing there and changed its directions till next pose, but still looks weird,maybe the bounce should be bigger or ....
I used the trax only to store the clips and update modifications on the soldiers clips.
Once the main FS was baked I had to clean up the keys, very alike working with mocap, and then add new poses. The funny was that the walk is there already, all the times and movs as well, for good or bady, but it's kind of cool because you have less possibilities and more precision on the characters actions.So it directs your alterations. anyway, I don't want to talk girerish again...hihhi

I used it mainly to adjust the final color,andrew did the wrap transitions. It´s nice to have control of all pieces that make the image without having to render all again.
