CameraMan for Maya iPhone app
How cool would it be to control your MAYA camera manually instead of painstakingly
animating it! Well here's how! :D
Quote: CameraMan for Maya® is an iPhone app that allows you to
control a 3D camera in Maya using an iPhone. The purpose of
CameraMan is create handheld camera effects by using the Gyroscope
in the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4th Generation as a motion capture device.
Big thanks to Wes McDermott!

AnimRigs contest further blocking
Hey guys here's a quick update. I didn't really work on the robot yet,
just the dog in the end. I'm a little confused which ending looks
better and not stretched, yet conveying the message.
I'm personally harping on the second one, but I'll need your opinion too! :D
Thanks guys!

AnimRigs contest blocking
Hey fellas, long time!! I'm taking part in the AnimRigs contest (the prizes are superb!!). So here's my rough
blocking. I really need some fresh eyes on this so lemme know where I'm going wrong,
what I need to push or tone down etc etc, before I take this shot too far.
I got time till 8th May to finish this. BTW that robot guy's lipsync is just basic. I wanted
to see if I could convincingly animate that guy to talk (considering all that his jaw does is go up,
down and sideways).
P.S. I plan to further put a bone in the dog's bowl that's got cobwebs around it (I'll even put
cobwebs around his kennel) and I'll fill up the Robot's area with
lot of goodies (like toys, books etc).
Edit: Darn! The QT video gets cropped on screen right (in Google Chrome). I suggest you guys to
either zoom into the Google chrome page or watch it in Firefox or download the video. :)
EDIT 2: Here's the Flipbook test of the shot (I had the robot
spinning a basketball initially but dropped the idea because it
could mislead people to thinking the dog simply wants to know
"honestly" how to spin the basketball! Haha!)

Support Anna Hazare to fight corruption
Nothing to do with animation, but a lot to do with our country (and that affects animation too, indirectly or directly). We all know Anna Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, is observing a fast until death in order to pass the Jan Lokpal bill to fight corruption, one of the worst evils of our society. I request all of you to support this great figure and sign this petition to force Govt to take action.
And yes, spread the word! IT'S NOW OR NEVER!
