Gear Change Blocking

Download here!!!

My current WIP. The gear change!
Still in the blocking stage. I´m trying to get the poses and timing right.
I´ll be posting more of this animation soon.

Thanks to Marco a.k.a. Macgio for hosting the file.

Tex Avery Poses

This is a new and very expensive Tex Avery statue... only $300 :P
Sandra Murta send me this image today and I was imediatly reminded of how good Tex cartoons where. I meen... just look at that Pose... the Line of action is just beautiful and leads your eye just to the right place.
People just don´t make poses like that anymore.
I miss the old cartoons, I miss Tex Avery´s style!!!

Later...

Samurai Champloo Trading Arts

This is not animation but is goovy non the less.

Right now I only have one of them but I hope to buy some more sone.
If you wonna trade drop me an email.... but not now... I only have one... nothing to trade.. yet!

Underwater Animation

UnderWaterTEST : http://yen3d.com.sapo.pt/underwater.mov

This is just a small animation test thatI did in 10 min.
As an animator I spend a alot of time trying to understad phisics, weight and gravity but underwater stuff is a diferent game...
That is what I´m trying to figure out with this test....how the body moves under water.
This one was quick and rough like a sketch and it feels stiff but I´ll get there.... one day :)

Enjoy!

new links...

My baby blog is slowly growing.
I add two new links to the links side bar.
One for my special friend an co-worker animator Sandra Murta and another to my friend and ex-partner in crime A. Brown.
This are two blogs worth checking out.

Stay tunned for more updates.

A post that must be posted!

What I must post is some good words about keithlango´s VTS.
VTS is a Video Tutorial Service provided by animator Keith Lango via online.
I´ll say this nice and simple: If you are into learning animation ( and like me you can´t afford AimationMentor.com ) then YOU MUST HAVE IT.... as simple as that!
Keith we thank you for the VTS!

New showreel.

I feel that my current animation reel doesn´t do me justice any more, It´s a year old and I think I can do much better now...ok maybe just a little better.
So I´ve been trying do manage some time do work on personal animations for a future showreel.
Hopefully It will be on time for Siggraph 2006.
Here is an animation I did last month using a 10secondclub.net audio file.
I have some cool ideias for this month´s audio...
