Week 6 : The hard life is just begun :P

First thing to notice - Where the heck did week 2, 3, 4, 5 go ? well I mentioned it earlier in week 1 that I am gonna be busy with intro to acting shot for a couple of weeks which was until last week. That should pretty much explain - "Where the heck did week 2, 3, 4, 5 go ?" :P

Anyways it was fun these couple of weeks... I didn't put in much time on the shot as I should have been and I am not at all satisfied with the final output. But still feel it turned out pretty decent at the end. Though I do need to actually re-block the shot again (certain parts at least) to make the timing read even better with a lot more polish to it :P see that's why I said, am not totally satisfied with it. Any ways trying to keep my rant's short here... here's the final of the shot I had worked on recently - The Silly Ninja :D

Now week 6 has already begun and it's time to dive into some dialogue animation... I am so excited to start on with it... but before anything else, got to find decent dialogue clips to work on, so I should probably get back on to it and will be offline again for couple of week from here. And definitely will be uploading the shot once I am done with the final. Until then have great time animating everyone, God Bless!!!

Term 4 : Already Begun :P

Well I am late in writing this post... But as I say... better late than never :P

So I am now in 4th term and already started with all the fun :D It's Introduction To Acting - the long awaited term... Ahh!!! Ok, not so long :P but definitely awaited. Being at AM, I really didn't come to know how time went so quick. I've already been here since 9 months and I don't remember if I felt the time moving so quick ever before I started with AM...

Well as I said it's Intro to Acting and currently week 1... So definitely it's a week to come up with ideas and thumbnail planning etc etc... And I am already done with my assignment :D though it took a while to come up with the idea but I'm glad I could think of something at the end... The idea is kinda crazy (at least for me) and I also tried to have fun shooting the video reference for that :P I am not disclosing anything about the idea or the video reference at the moment (actually don't have time to upload everything at the moment :P) but will surely upload the reference sometime later, may be after the shot is done, as I feel, I won't be getting time to get back here and write something or upload the video ref. or planning being busy with the assignment for a couple of weeks...

Well till next time I guess my blog will have to miss me :P and If anyone read's this just wanna say... Have fun and God bless.

Term 3 : Final Week :)

Finally term 3 is near it's end. It's last week for the term followed by a break and then I start with the new term for which I have been waiting anxiously...... "Introduction to Acting" I am so excited for the new term. Term 3 has really been fantastic in terms of education and fun as well. Learned a tons of things this term and had equal fun trying to apply what I learned into my animation. I do not say that I have been totally successful in utilizing everything I learned, as that is an on going process and It will take time to get better at things. After all no one can be perfect at everything neither can  a great animator in just a couple of months or years or decades :P We being animators have to keep learning through out our life OR until LIFE exists around us. Anyways my thoughts may not make any sense to many... as I am not so good with words :P but I prefer throwing them out as it might be sensible to a few rare breeds like me.

Anyways here's my final shot for the last assignment of term 3. It isn't absolutely amazing shot that I could animate by any means, but I had fun animating it and learned lot of things during the process. It's really amazing how one can learn tons of things while just animating a simple 8 second or even a second of a shot. Even professional who are best at there work who can project out their imaginations to the best in couple of seconds will agree to me that they learned so much on every shot they have ever worked. Oh!!! well sorry for the ramble :P here's the final...

 

The Progress reel will be up in a day or two which will include all the shots I have done since term 1 to term 3. Hope everyone enjoy it. Till then take care, have fun and God bless.
