2D Flash Character Animation

For this project we're supose to do a short aimation based on students talking about writing.
I've chosen the "I-write-2010-A" clip, and I'm using 30 sec. from it (5:30 -> 6:19)

The girl in the conversation talks about how students suck the information in and then spit it out, so I first taught of a vacuum cleaner for this, but then changed it into a Bellow.
And the bellow is talking to a book, and then steels a bit of his paper.


I starded of trying to draw the different shapes of the mouth when people talk. I then made a quick sketch of the bellow, the boook and the background I wanted to use.



































Just a quick sketch of how the story goes.























Here's the final design of the characters and the background for the animation.

Background Project

This project was fun to do because I never spend time on backgrounds, and this kind of forced me to take the time to do them well.
Here you see the sketches for my first background: the kitchen.















































Second one is inspired by my hometown \o/










































The last one is simple:

Merry Christmas from Krampus!

To all the naughty kids: remember to behave! Muahaha

Sticky Situation

We had some spare time so we decided to make a quick animation.
We rock. \o/

My 3D Walk

I got my 3D walk done Yay! \o/
After several attempts I finally managed to make a walk that's similar to my own walk.
It was tricky to get it not to look like a robot and making the arms and hips sway right.
I'm actually quite pleased with this one because it makes me feel like I'm making progress when it comes to using Maya.

2D Walk Cycle

This is my second 2D walk cycle and I think it worked out well.
After failing a couple of times I finally got it to look a bit like my own walk.
I think it would look a bit more smoother if I put in some more frames, and I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Here's my first attempt of a walk scene using Maya:
