My 3D showreel is almost there. This is the final clip to be refurbished. It came from a two week dialogue course with veteran Pixar animator Rich Quade. Rich was Directing Animator on Toy Story, and he animated on Toy Story 3, which will be out any day now in Sweden (can’t wait!). The voice of the clip belongs to Vincent Gallo from the movie Buffalo 66. The refurbished version includes polishing of the facial expressions, adding surfaces and lights to the scene, and further developing the escaped convict’s dialogue partner…
The assignment was A) to invent a character and a simple story. I came up with this musician, a triangle player, going to work. B) to have a safe suddenly drop from above (”magic if”). How would the character react in this given circumstance? The lesson to be learned here was that you really have to know your character (how old is he, where does he live, what is he doing, why is he doing it, what does he like, what does he hate etc.) in order to know how to animate him.
Here’s two more shots for the reel. That means I’ve reached the upload limit on Vimeo this week. Sweet! I’ll post here continuously the coming weeks as the reel progresses. There’s is some cool stuff coming up. Welcome back to check it out!
