Mitch's Animation Anxiety Attacks

Jeez I haven't been on here in ages. I should upload my next project here :)

Anyways I just thought I'd wish all the 2010 2nd years good luck :)

ALSO I MADE YOU ALL A PICTURE!

Gather 'round children! Let me tell you a tale about a teenager fresh out of highschool. (well, he left highschool early to chase his dream of art and cartoons)... STILL, He was convinced that no matter how good you were at drawing or how good you were at writing stories, everyone out there has amazing potential hidden within their imagination. So he spent a few weeks interviewing many people, Friends and Family alike, and asked them about their (dream) alternative personas.
Some answered straight away, and went on about fantastic super heroes, each with imaginative powers, each with their own dash of unique flavour to them. Others he interviewed, took longer to answer, or were too serious to answer, but eventually came up with amazing stories. The longer they talked about it, the more enthusiastic they seemed towards his question. Fantasies were re-opened from their childhoods, and as the teenage boy was writing all this down in his book he realised a unique and priceless treasure was forming together.

He spent weeks looking over everyones dreams, something so surreal and inspiring, and eventually saw a circle of purpose behind these notes. They had collectively created an ecosystem of magic. So he started to write a story, inspired by this collection of dreams.


4 years later and I'm still slaving away over this idea... lol :(
But the more I think about it, the deeper the story becomes, so I'm determined to stick with it.

I'm putting together some character design concepts, and I'll keep everyone updated on my Blog.

Something I made in celebration of my new Cintiq.

GOD its nice to finally make something in my spare time. I love working at Krome, but it certainly doesn't allow much time for my own endeavors.

-Just got smacked over the head with the Reality-Hammer-

I have much, much more work to do on this little child of mine, but for now this will have to do.

I would like to add both run and walk cycles, and the old 'lifting the heavy object'

Also, I'm considering converting the Robin Hood Dialogue into 3D

anyways enjoy!

A very short animation of a guy warming up to a battle stance. I had fun making the sword and shield :D

I'm working on 3 stages of sword swings at the moment, so you'll be seeing some more from me by the end of the week :)

So I've finally finished my dialogue piece as far as I can at the moment without losing track of other assignments.

but ultimately its unfinished and I'd like to work more on it in the future.
Maybe even make it 3D in the near future.

Also, GOD I miss the Animaniacs... Nice snappy animation to music

This is a perfect example of economic animating... OR a combination and laziness that resulted in me having to cut down on complicated scenes... either way you look at it, this is my experimental



I'll probably work on it some more afterwards but more assignments are yelling at me to finish them!


Also for those who haven't seen it yet, I've got a youtube link to a NEW proper trailer of Toy Story 3

I'd have put the embedded version onto my blog but it isn't allowed for some annoying reason
