Mitch's Animation Anxiety Attacks

Nathan and I had an effing great time making this ad. I hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it :D

The girls showed me this one at tafe the other day and its far too good to NOT post it on my blog.



and to all the girls out there, when you find sex toys in your guys pants, remember, it can always be worse... WAY worse.

Hey just thought I'd give a shout out to anyone who isn't aware of it already. But Deviant Art has just introduced to the world their new PortFolio system which keeps all your artwork and animation in a profession manner without all clients having to look at all your artwork and having to put up with all the other silly myspace-esque crepe "thats french for crap" that you see on deviant art all the time.

It's completely free, user friendly and you can hold up to 100 of your best work which is a sweet deal for a free internet space. It also has a spot for you to upload your resume for interested employers who know how to use the interbutts... I'd say its the best free online portfolio system I've come across... well I've only come across the one but thats besides the point.

this is a link here that will help you find your way

PS I'VE GOT A BUTTON/LINK TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN FOR MY PORTFOLIO.

Now let me sleep everyone GOSH!

Once in an every so occuring part of my life I drop my flash and maya for a bit of old pacer and art pad for some good old fasion drawing. Looking around for some inspiration my eyes find the two most dedicated illustrators in the room. With their permission I drew up a little scene with their favourite OCs 'Original Characters' in action.

I'd like to think I pushed myself a little more than usual to see how things could look and I'm happy with the outcome.

Also on the animation side of things I'm teaming up with Nathan to work on a piece of advertising, trying to sell gym membership to couch potatoes. Hilarity WILL be a factor in this equasion.

It's time to say goodbye to another fantastic months worth of holidays of partying and animation... and just going back to plain old animation for the next 4 months or so. The Mitch in me is saying I had an awesome time, but the Mian "mitch/ian hibrid" in me is saying I could have done a turd load more animation.

Having said that, I regret nothing, EAPS were made, friends held hands and were merry. Maya add ons were explored and some people found love, and simulataneously some cried, but HEY what are parties for?

looking forward to coming back to tafe :)



Here's to hang overs that continue to last for more than 2 days :)

Working on some animations using a new tool for maya Ian showed me called Tween Machine, it can me found here :)

Its just a little ball I made in maya, jumping for joy.

Will be updating this post with more animations later on.

Many many many many hours went into this ad. I hope greencross is very happy with it.

After a quick meeting this morning we came up with the name Flash n Burn studios to represent us. Perhaps a little wanky in its approach, but that is the majority of our group anyway. For anyone who wants to download a high definition version of this video, you'll need a deviant art login, and you'll find it in my dA gallery
