One of the first clips i did using trax animation. The background wasn't really gonna be black, is only that my trial got expired before i complete the clip. By the way i played with tittle to suit the video view. I hope u will enjoy it. I love the music track!!
Wow...sometimes its cool to appreciate your progress. That's my first animation trial using micro media flash....and that was 3 years ago. I hope i will someday edit movies and stuffs.. thats why i did a bit of how will it look like..in my future studio projects.
Nah! actually in this Strut clip, Strut himself is not my model, it's made by a hell group of Guys, i was surprised and since they let me to use it i carry on and thats their credit here;
Lead: Tim Linklater, Concept: Joel Smith, Model:Lisa Griffiths, Rig: Andy Seredy, Beta Test: Badruddin Badruddin, Mack Carruthers,Tim Sormin.
Story telling and technology are one of the elements i wish to master on animation.Galaxy Glide shows this simple story about Aliens technology, the universe code. I like the fact that the storyline and flow makes sense of what i was trying to portray. Even though i haven't sat down and plan the story. The only things that i remember was creating characters, Squirrel and Alien ship,( Actually they have different roles of clips). I imagined the storyline when i was waiting to catch my sleep on my Bed in the morning around 7am( The time that i mostly go for bed, haha! You know, holiday and self learning results!)
In many cases its a bad idea to start a short without a proper storyboard and planning. In this Clip i have suffered a lot because of missing this rules( the rule No:1 s of planning a short film animation), i had to animate and keep going back to extend and cut of some poses, camera angles and most importantly actions.
Off coarse in the first place animation didn't have anything to do with Gordon Kalahari Galaxy Research tittles or something. Just after i finish my animation, i went for sound editing and thats when i figure out that the story would be better if there is a proper beginning and credits at the end. I didn't waste any time and thought of Botswana as the main center of this Alien eradication. I was happy at the end to see how fast and easy i can make something with a promising sense, and i said "what about if i had enough time and strong storyboard?"
FINALLY MY BOYS!!
Yeah!! After such a long time guys!! hei! i have been deep in hell of lots of things to do. by the way am back for more updates. This time i come with good news. Am happy that my boys are ready now. You know why i haven't turn on, ha, guess what! I locked my self inside my mini studio and i said, 'Crine, make sure you damn model, rig and finish this guys first, then u can show up to people,'. Yes! here i am with the promise. The boys are ready and i made a simple clip using my voice to test the rig, its hell working awesome no,mmm! but to be honest guys! i went through a lot , it wasn't that simple, i had many times re-doing, imagine that situation. But am happy i didn't give up or quit.
Bad news now. Actually the boys have their storyboard to animate. But i couldn't cause it was already late, the semester has began, so ei! i had to put that aside, didn't wanna mess up with final semester of my graduation. Ahh! i hope i will still find time and continue my boys journey! Don't forget,'they are naughty,' Ok! so funny things is going on with them, get ready for their short film soon. Chao!!..lol...!!
