Animation Reel Summer 2010

Buzz - an animated short (2008)

“Buzz” is a 2 minute short created as a final project at school. The 6 month program at school was highly intensive yet very exciting. It was so much fun to be among some really creative people constantly critiquing your work and giving suggestions to make a good film.

Responsible for all visual elements. This includes everything from concept, story, design, modeling, rigging, animation, lighting and rendering. Editing was done by Rob Wood and sound by Brett Anthony.

Running Time : 02 min 11 secs.

11 second club November competition

After so long wanting to take part in the competition, finally I did this month. Unfortunately I was a few seconds late to upload the rendered version. Also didn't do much with the backgrounds. Don't think it mattered much for the competition, as its all about animation. Came at 7th place out of 109 entries. Hmmm...not too bad I suppose. Hope to do better next time.

Running Time : 12 secs.

Class assignment (blue character only)

This was one of the assignments we had to do at school to learn acting and lipsync. It was a group assignment and had to be done by two of us. Was supposed to be a learning exercise, so the staging is not all that good. I was responsible for animating only the blue character (Woody). The red character (Buzz) was animated by Wolfgang Hauer (www.wolfganghauer-animation.com). Both the character rigs Sam (www.timoberlander.com) & Hogan (www.mothermushroom.com) were downloaded from www.highend3d.com. The voice ofcourse is from Toy Story.

Running time : 07 secs.
