Kabeej.... PEEEEEENKU.

Behold.

VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This is what my semester of animation has come to.

Final Project YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Voiced by Primehunter01@deviantart.com and yours truly. 

The soundtrack, Overthere Stair, belongs to Nintendo.

Universe based the one in Super Paper Mario.

Side Animation

This was actually for a different class, but it's still an animation.

Animatic Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Changed the dialogue for the greater good; hopefully it won't kill me in the end.

(And I don't know why the video is stretched out of proportion. It makes me sad deep inside.)

Dialogue choice YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA-!

So, I have yet to get the full audio of my dialogue, but here are the parts of it. It will be based on this comic:
CSI Miami Cheese 

And this video:
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

So, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!

Can't Touch This

Stop.

Hammertime.

SCHWAG

I have a walking character and a background am I done now please.

Yeehaw!

Got the Bone Tool in Flash to work!

Newcomers! Yeah!

So for the final project in this class, I've got to choose one of these two lovely characters to hate when I'm animating at 2 in the morning. Since I still haven't decided at this point, I'm just going to put up reference sheets of both of them.

Starting with Pikachu:

I love Pikachu. The upsides of animating her (my version is a her) is that she is a lot of fun and has a outgoing, happy-go-lucky, little star with moves like Swagger. Downside is that she is hard to divvy into puppet parts. 

And then there is the Wiz of KOz.

She also has a fun-loving personality with an affected swag. Can't say I have any dialogue ideas like I have with Pikachu, but on the plus side, she can be easily split into parts (seeing that she is very geometrical).

So I dunno at this point. Hopefully I can arrive at some decision within the next 24 hours.

The Origin of Love: Kinetic Typography edition

And here's the final product of much labor-intensive labor. Behold my brain child!

("Origin of Love" belongs to Hedwig and the Angry Inch. All due respect to them.)

This is before the Origin of Love (animation)

The animatic, that is. 
Love the beginning of this song - it reminds me of the start of some ancient legend.

Myth of Sisyphusaurus DONE

a.k.a. Between a Rock and a Chub-face. 

Here is the roughly-finished version of my frame-by-frame animation project. Check it out!

Fun fact: Myth of Sisyphusaurus gets its name from the story Myth of Sisyphus, which is about a man who pushes a rock up a hill every day.

Myth of Sysiphusaurus Rough

Here is the rough animation of Chubby trying to move a much larger boulder. 

Kudos to you if you know who Sysiphus is.

WARNING: NEWCOMER APPROACHING

Behold Chubby the chubby-saurus! Here's his character and action sheet.
Now admire his squishy figure~

EDIT: Adding a little bit of chubby-saurus action!

 

BATTLE TO THE END (but not of time)

Team2Awesome has yet to come up a better title for this stop-motion film. Many props to Dane for his editing skills. 

Anyhow, kick back, relax, and enjoy the show!

This production is copyrighted by Dane Sethi and Karen Zhou because we said so. Also, kudos to those who made the sound effects in the film - especially Riot and Rek'Sai. We love you, Rek'Sai. <3

Schrodinger's Post: Storyboard Take Two

So, my storyboard post disappeared, but here it is again!

Bionical Battle to the End of Time: The Animatic

Here is the animatic, featuring Jessica! Also, many kudos to Dane for putting it together - you are the best, man.

Project Uno with a 90% Chance of Brainstorm

With the first real animation project coming up, Team Two Awesome  - Dane, Alex('s spirit) and I - came up with the following ideas:

• Fight scene - live action (timing)
• Fight scene with action figures (timing)
• Bouncy ball superhero (squash & stretch/secondary action)
• Action figure comedy (exaggeration/appeal)
• Adventures of Chubby-saur (appeal/squash & stretch)

More Balls

Boing!
(Assignment: animate a bouncing ball in AfterEffects changing velocity and/or direction.)

Balls

Balls, by Dane, Alex, and me. I mainly hit the Return key, so kudos to the two other guys.
