Senior Portfolio Fall Week 13

Senior Portfolio Post 13

For this final week of work, I have decided to go back to refine and improve every past animation from this semester.  The goal is to polish up my work for compilation into a proper demo reel.  I think having gone through this semester of work has greatly helped my knowledge and understanding of animation, and also my work ethic and drive for showcasing both personal and formal work.  A lot of these animations I have worked on focus on a different area of interest I set out to practice.  Now, I have brought all of my work together in a single video to show off.  Here is my Fall semester Senior Portfolio.

Overall, going back to refine everything with everything I have learned throughout has given me a lot to consider for the future.  It also gives me much more confidence and ambition to practice, develop and experiment with more projects to come.  I hope to carry this all over into the next semester of work.

Senior Portfolio Fall Week 12

For this week I have done another experimental project. I have started a new project going back to working with the individual character.  This animation features a "suit up" of the character.  The animation features two models, but one is simply pieces replacing another.  I think using the tricks learned previously to play to the camera come in handy the most for these types of situations.  This is also another project that will hopefully give me a better understanding as I branch out into more advanced models later on.  This animation in particular took longer to prepare due to keeping track of two models at once.  For now, the pieces simple appear and disappear simultaneously in order to insinuate a switching of sorts.  Further down the line of progression, this will change into separate pieces flying in and replacing one another, with more movement to show force and weight.
