Class 4 Starts!

I'm sorry for not updating this for a LONG time! I'm not sure for the reason for this, laziness maybe, but hey it's back!

So, I have a lot to show you today. The Class 3 Reel - which is incomplete, I'm still working in a render of one of the shots - and Class 4's first assignment, as it is now (2nd week), with the planning too.

So, I'll start with the Class 3 Reel:

Class 3, Week 8-11: Devil's shot

As you noticed, or not, I haven't been so active lately on my blog. That's because I now consider that a weekly update is not needed, as I think the visitor's interest lays on the finished works and not on the works in progress. So from no on, rarely will I show WIP's here, it will be mostly ready o show stuff! So here's the shot everyone has been waiting for, the last assignment of class 3! Next week I'll come up with the Progress Reel, with a combination of all my Animation Mentor work so far, with some bonus renders! So here it is, the devil's shot:

Class 3, Week 6 & 7 - Finished dancing, let's troll now

Uoff finally this shot is all done. I had a ton of fun doing it, but, as expected, it was HARD. My next shot isn't simple either, let's hope it goes well!
So, I'll shush and share with you the finished shot, and the planning for the next.

Class 3, Week 5 - Poker Saloon, Phantom Dance Blocking

Here I am, this is me, there's nowhere else on Earth I'd rather be,
..and I'm not Bryan Adams, I'm Fonz!
Any who, here we are with another week. This time I finished quite early, although I'll probably work a bit more on some small details through out the weekend. I'm rushing out because I have an animation project I must attend to, and it's in 3Ds Max (gasp!), so I have to learn the software and all. Later on, I'll reveal the animation if possible, but for now, I'll just ask you to focus your attention on my AM assignment!
I decided to make a poker scenario, it kinda fits to the music (Parov Stelar - The Phantom "1930's version") and the Italian mobster in NY I was going for. Plus, I LOVE poker. And I'm not a bad player either, I kinda miss being in England for the casinos. ANYHOW, here's the scenario I've done:

And here's my blocking thus far:




AND here's a little bonus for you: Revised football animation, with a better resolution and motion blur:
