Mengtendo.

this was my final for my animation II class. we had to find sound effects and create an animation that pairs well with it, and i ended up going this direction. hope you like it :)

Lil bones.

i made this guy months ago but never posted about him here.

i had a bunch of fun buildin this fella. my heart grew on him, though he lacks one of his own.

best viewed repeatedly.

Mush.

a quick animation i did for class. we were assigned to animate an element, and since the paper i did back in the beginning of the semester incorporated wind, i chose water for this one. i cant help but play my animations over and over and just laugh. oh you poor hilarious mushroom. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do. i posted this awhile ago but totally forgot about it!

Teasin tees!

finally got our tees for animation society. represent sonnn! if you dont understand the tagline, you dont know enough bout animation! ..or know too much bout that nasty stuff ;)

ps. meet rilakkuma, my bear phone cover if you havent already!

Awkward but awesome.

felt silly makin this since i did it on my own: alone on a cold night, camera on self timer, and makin myself pose in awkward position after awkward position. but still had fun tho. cheers to blowin--
horns, bubbles and bubble gum!

Metamorphosis animation!

i dreaded this assignment at first because trying to make him run in the beginning was taking soooo long--but i had a lot fun making all the transitions after that. especially since i had my cousin give me his input and he was able to watch my process of his ideas come to life ;) thanks homie!

HER FIRST STEPS!

i'm still trying to get a hang of this animation thing so gimme a break! here's my first attempt at a walk cycle, using yours truly as a character :) it gets a little jumpy at times, but for the most party im enjoyin this. hope you do too!

I'm gettin paperrrr.

we had to animate a light object for class so i chose a piece of paper. we had to draw every frame and take a picture of each one. this took about 45 drawings. the camera angle is a little off but you get the point :)

Push.

here's a quick animation i did of a boy and his swing. it's only about 30 seconds long but damn, this thing took hours and hours to make. makes you think of these full length animated films of like two hours, and im going crazy just trying to create something that is merely half a minute. im still proud of it though.. i cant wait to enroll in an animation class in the fall :)

More bounce to the ounce.

made this for animation class. its not much; but its a start. just learning the basics so far. i cant wait to create! :)

My first motiongraphics!

so our assignment was to animate an audio clip, only using the text being spoken. we're using after effects now and i like it better than flash at times. this took hoursssss for a measly 30 second clip, but i am pretty happy on how it turned out. i was really frustrated at first, being new at the program, but it was fun and almost addicting afterwards.

i was laughing the whole time, of course.

Just in case.

if for whatever reason you couldn't see my last animation,
you can click the image below :)

and yes i run with my ipod in hand.
i need to get me an armband or somethin.

Miracle of a playlist.

so ive been tryin to exercise more. with no membership/workout buddy, motivation to actually do anything is tough. but once im out on the street with my music, im off running easy. i get tired but the next song can pump me right back up.

here are some of the songs that got me going today:

kinda like a big deal; clipse
recycled air; the postal service
home; gym class heroes
natural high; colby odonis ft tpain
time is running out; muse
beggin; madcon
hell yeah; dead prez
south side; common ft kanye
ten speed; coheed&cambria

Walk, don't run chick.

hahahahhahahahahah; click it & turn up your speakers!

Parting is such sweet..

My first flash.

i was crazy frustrated with this assignment since it's hard to follow my teacher in class. we were supposed to make an opening credit scene to whatever. once i got a little used to it, i was having funnn.

flash is work! click:
