STUDIO TECHNIQUE PROGRESS REEL

ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST POST.

HERE'S MY PROGRESS REEL FROM STUDIO TECHNIQUE.

THIS CLASS WAS "ANIMATION 1" WHERE WE COVERED ALL THE ANIMATION PRINCIPLES.

I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT SAMANTHA YOUSSEF IS A GREAT MENTOR, AND PERSON AS WELL. SHE REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT AND I'VE LEARNT TONS FROM HER, EVEN MORE THAN EXPECTED. I REALLY RECOMMEND HER CLASSES, THE CLASS DYNAMIC IS GREAT. SO IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE TO GET STRONG AND SOLID ANIMATION BASICS, I'D SAY THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START. JUST AWESOME.

PIRATE SHIP - BLACKBEARD'S CABIN

THIS WAS MY FINAL PROJECT FOR MY "DIGITAL FORM, SPACE & LIGHTING" CLASS. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLACKBEARD'S CABIN. IT MIGHT SHOW UP A LITTLE DARK IN SOME SCREENS, MINE SHOWS IT PRETTY GOOD THOUGH. I CAN TELL THAT IT IS A BIT FLAT. I MIGHT MAKE SOME CORRECTIONS IN THE FUTURE, BUT FOR NOW IT WILL STAY THIS WAY... I RATHER WORK HARDER ON MY ANIMATION SKILLS.

EVERYTHING WAS DONE IN MAYA. FOR TEXTURING I USED MUDBOX AND PHOTOSHOP.

BASKETBALL ANIMATION IN AFTER EFFECTS
