Visiting Ryan in Prison dialogue test

This is a dialogue test I did last year with the generi rig. It was pretty fun. The audio track is Kelly Kapoor from The Office.

I've been struggling a bit with the environment/lighting/what color generi should be. Suzanne Kaufman, one of our professors, gave me some help so it looks better now than what it looked like last year... But I still don't know how I feel about the pink.

Tad Walk

Meet Tad. He's a character from the game team I worked with last year, Team Infinigon, for which I contributed a few enemy robot animations but never really worked with Tad himself. So I animated quick a walk cycle for practice.

He's rigged with biped, which I know is a widely unused rig but it was a decent exercise. Still, I haven't figured out how to use the curve editor with biped which makes slowins/outs necessary to do by hand so I didn't really bother for this. Next time I'll use a rig where that won't be an issue, and while it was interesting to try and figure out how arms of such mass would move I'd rather work with something with more flexibility next time.

Anyway it was interesting.

Bulletproof and Green Screen

Since I've been sort of organizing things from this past semester, I thought I'd upload a few more things from after effects class. First, the lyrics assignment.

We had to animate lyrics to a song so I picked Bulletproof by La Roux since it appealed to my electronica sensibilities and had fast enough lyrics that it would be fun to animate. There's still a few things I would fix if I were to go back (particularly, adding secondary animation to the final word).

Secondly, and much more recently, we had an assignment to work with green screen footage. I found a clip of Snoop Dogg promoting an EA game and edited some footage from Pokémon Stadium to work with it.

Out of the three assignments (see Clair de Lune credit sequence for the third), I think I enjoyed the credit sequence the best because I am secretly romantic, but I'm pleased with the variety each of the projects convey.
