Facial Refining Pass

And here is the next pass at the face. I added some asymmetry to the mouth, cleaned up to the eyebrows, refined the phonemes and pushed the contrast between the major vowels. Still have PLENTY to do, but one more week and then it's on to the two person dialogue!



Also, they have us work on a couple face poses a week. Enjoy!

First Face Pass

Updates, Updates! The first pass at my facial animation. So much that goes into it, it's ridiculous. All I've done so far was block in the mouth and eyebrow shapes. Lots to do and only two weeks left. Enjoy.

Pure Inspiration

If you haven't listen/watched it yet, this is an interview on Sketchoholic with host Bobby Chiu and Aaron Hartline. Give it a listen and I promise, it will inspire the heck out of you.

Another Polishing Pass

Hey Guys,

Here's another polishing pass of my shot. We had a break last week, but I felt that I'd get a bit of a head start and polish up my shot some more. I added the jaw movement, added/changed the eye animnation and I changed up a few things to simplify and clarify. I feel that it's working better.

Now that the summer quarter has begun, I can start animating the face! I'm really excited to get started. Speaking of the new quarter, I have a new mentor Morgan Kelly. I hope to get a lot out of this class since he has a tone of industry experience and he is also an instructor for Cal Arts. I'm looking forward to this quarter.

Refining/Polishing Pass

Well, here is the the final pass of my monologue shot for class 4. We don't address the face until next quarter. As you can see, I've made some pretty big changes to the beginning... again. As my mentor put it, I did some soul searching and I feel it was for the better. I still have a lot of finessing to do, but this is the final for the quarter.

As for my Professor, Melanie, she had to be one of the coolest mentors I've had at AM. She was full of energy and super motivated to help each and everyone of her students. It was always a blast to go to her classes because of her enthusiasm... and because of all the little melodies she would sing. If anyone reading this blog decides to go to AM, I highly recommenced her as a professor, you will not regret it.
