My demo reel from 2007 to now excluding Lychgate and Twilight Surface because of technical issues and they weren't that important.

Made for an entry of qualification into the cinema major at Edinboro also a small job opportunity at Aniboom Virtual Studio.

first animation 2 assignment: ball bounce

revising COMPLETE

[shura]

looks good. the ball in the first vid looked kinda too squishy to be a basketball. why did your teacher give you a C?

[MarcK]

Thanks! the squash and stretch were water ballooney, the spacing had some issues, and all the bounces had a constant duration. :/

[emanhattan]

I can see whats wrong with the first bouncy ball video

The revised version does feel a bit weird tho. I think the ball descends way too fast between each bounce. almost looks like if a force greater than gravity was pulling it towards the ground

however you seem to have overcome most of your errors in the second vid. nice improvements

[MarcK]

I see what you mean. one or two more frames in the descent should make it better. I think that's what made it feel a bit awkward when I watched it. Thank eman!

[MarcK]

This one took way longer than expected

It's from a downward angle. I think without specifying that it could be confusing. What do you guys think?

[Crabarms]

I know its supposed to be from a downward angle but it sorta looks off.
It look like it's wobbling around in a circular motion but really if it was dropped it should be pretty steady on left - right.(unless you intended it to be sort of thrown)
The ball's size sorta looks too small when its first dropped and maybe the string's length is confusing me.
I don't know man just trying to help.

[MarcK]

I wouldn't know how to see this animation at any other angle. I try but hmm I can't see it :/. The ball definitely could be bigger at the beginning. Thanks Crabarms!
edit: oh great another C

[emanhattan]

Try to watch a real pendulum's motion for something like this.
I think the first issue with it is that you didnt reduce the size of the ball enough when it is going up the first time
the second issue is your spacing. Some of the "cushioning" frames could use better spacing. or probably some more frames
you still have that problem where it feels like if a force greater than gravity PULLS the thing towards the bottom.
you feel me bro?

[rtil]

you feel me bro?

thanks eman i wubyou

So as I've probably told you guys, Rappy McRapperson approached me daran and said hes co-producing the new Wing album, and needs music videos for it. He asked me to do one for Safe Party Happy ending, one of the 2 singles on the album and half the title of the album, while my roommate does a beyonce cover. The project's due january 28th. I'm doing it in flash. the song is about 3 stories of unsafe parties going horribly wrong for 3 characters. The first story is what im animating for my animation final this semester (due december 15th but im doing more than it by then). A girl get's ****ed up while retaliating an affair with her boyfriend at a drunken party.

I got my new intuos4 large tablet the other day and pirated artrage 3 pro, so now i guess im ready to do some sketches on the computer. I only came up with one tonight that I found publishable: the main character (one of 3 characters) of the first story. The first drawing is her approaching to physically assult a much larger muscular woman, the second is my thought of what would be the result. I like the first but the second doesnt feel very right because i rushed it a little because its almost 5 now holy shit time for bed



I'll post some updates as i go along

[lenko]

needs more cyan spirals


just kidding it looks alright. but i'm guessing she's a teenager or something, maybe make her arm a bit longer

[MarcK]

spirals? I just have bad line quality

[lenko]

that was me mocking myself woops
