run hogan run!!

hmm another hogan exercise! this time i made him run! i've never really attempted a run before... so i dunno if this one is correct or what! i leave that to u guys!! (the run might look a li'l weird from the persp as well as the side. maybe that's cuz i didnt animate the camera properly along with him!) c&c plz! front: persp: side

tired walk (corrected)

whew! i didnt know the key to avoiding those penetrations was so simple: just move the shoulders up!! lol :D well thanks for ur corrections guys, this is the "corrected" version of the tired walk... i kinda had to compromise on the rotate X of the shoulders (as u can see in the front view). and vinay i really tried dragging the legs, but then they started snapping! i'll still work on that though! let's see... c&c plz! front: persp: side:

And these too!

tired walk

hey guys second sem is ROCKING!! having fun animating a FULL body character! lol... well this is my attempt at doing a character walk. i tried "tired walk", and believe me, after doing it, i feel almost the same: TIRED!! lolz, well it was fun doing it... but as u can see there's an issue with the hands... they knock off the knees... if i dont do that, they go thru the geometry of the knees, which i OFCOURSE dont want. so this is the best i cud come up with, although i'm not satisfied, cuz it looks jerky... plz suggest me some methods to overcome that problem AND keep the flow going... thanks! front persp side

Hey guys i have done the rough blocking for gear change...Before moving further i want ur views on the concept is it working....???

a meet with a legend: JAMES BAXTER!!

guys this was one of the MOST memorable moments of my life!! I MET JAMES BAXTER!! someone who's worked on classics like Who framed Roger Rabbit, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and recent hits like Enchanted and Kung Fu Panda (the hand drawn sequences ofcourse!). it was awesome seeing someone so IMMENSELY talented standing just a few feet away from me!! well before i get too carried away, lemme just tell u what happened... james was here visiting india and he held a session at the asifa fest 'international animation day' held in bangalore on 6th nov 2008. it was a 3 hour session which was divided into the first hour of teaching about acting and body mechanics; second hour of the making of the 2D sequence of kung fu panda that his studio did; and the final hour of question answer session. the session was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! esp the part where he talked abt kung fu panda. it was AMAZING to know how he worked on it!! very inspiring! whew! well i have found one article on james baxter's lecture on acting, body mechanics, lipsync etc. it's awesome! check it out!! http://sewardstreet.com/blog/post/james_baxter_animation_lecture_day_one_acting/ http://www.sewardstreet.com/blog/post/james_baxter_animation_lecture_day_two_technique/ THIS man is something else!!
