In Need of All Your Help...

Hello all,

Thank you for coming by. This post consists of all the shots I plan to use in my upcoming demo reel. As far as I can see, they seem fine to me, but I've also been staring at them for quite some time now. If I could get some fresh eyes to take a look at them, I think it would really help. Perhaps see someting I'm not picking up, or something that's not quite working. Just a few minutes is all I ask. I really need the feedback to make this demo reel a really strong display of my animation skills, and i would greatly appreciate it. Any feedback is welcomed, be it good or bad. I will take it all in and work on what needs working and leave what doesn't. I mean this, too. I want to be able to take all your criticism and grow as an animator, not just ignore it. : D

So please, have a look at the videos and let me know what you think. They are just playblasts now, so the animation is all that is really being on display here.

Thanks again for the help and take it easy,

Daniel

(I plan to run the credits along the top of this shot, so that's why all actions are occurring along the bottom of the screen.)

This just in!

While taking a very brief break in between animating, I put together a more professional looking website with the help of http://www.webs.com/ . I will continue using this blog to log my progression through various artistic pieces of work, but now I also have a clean and tidy site to display my professional info and work.

You can view the new website at:

Please feel free to stop by there and let me know what you think of it!

Take it easy,
Daniel

About time...

Here's a long overdue new piece of animation. I kinda burnt out for a bit and it took me a little more time than usual to get this one done. There's been some business going on around me too, so I've been away fro mthe computer somedays. Regardless, here it is:

Stan Getting Scared by Tubbs (Make sure your speakers are not too loud...)


I think it's looking good so far...but there's something missing...or perhaps I've just been staring at it for too long. Let me know what you think and what you would change/keep the same.

I now plan to go back to my last post's piece and do some fixes based on some suggestions from Mike. Thanks again for stopping by buddy. I always appreciate it!

Take it easy,
Daniel

More Tubbs...

This time I have Tubbs flicking on a old style boombox. It's a simple clip, but one I'm planning to use to start up my demo reel, while my info is being displayed at the beginning. I don't think it's quite right yet, and the hop down to the floor might need some more work. But until I take another pass at it, here it is. Enjoy!

Take it easy,

Tubbs - "Turning on Boombox"

Continued work...

Still working through the paces towards a new demo reel. Things are going well so far, and I must say that I am having a rather good time working on these personal pieces. From what I can see, I think they are turning out much better than my last batch, but we'll see in the end...

This post just consists of fixes to the "Showing Off" clip, as well as my newest piece, "Gun Inspection." The fixes of course, came from various animation forums where I posted for feedback, since no one seems to visit this blog anymore. Oh, and of course, my good friends, Mike and Brandon, who always have time to take a look at my work. Thanks a lot guys.

Until next time,

Take it easy

Daniel
