Design for Storytellers.

 The first four homeworks from my design for storytellers class lead by the legendary Mike Moon.

Assignment 1: Design a castle that is also a self portrait.

Assignment 2: A Line which describes an emotion. I went for doubt.

Assignment 3: A design which describes the feelings you have when you eat Ketchup all by itself.

Assignment 4: Design a tree that is also a fairytale. Hopefully you can guess this one yourself but if you couldn't, its Red Riding Hood.

Bouncing Ball.

A bouncing ball animation I made during my 2/3rd week at CalArts as part of my CG animation class.

YAY CALARTS!

Schedule.

My weekly schedule for the first Semester of my freshman year of character animation (at CalArts).

CALARTS.

So I've been at CalArts for about 3 weeks now and the work is coming on pretty heavy. The animation we've been doing has consisted almost exclusively of bouncing balls so far which, although interesting to animate,  aren't the most thrilling to look at so I just included my most recent one.

 Aside from that Ive started a couple of quick personal animation clips which are currently in a very basic state. hopefully we'll see these cleaned up and polished in the future assuming I'm not entirely overcome with the work load.

I intend to start posting a lot more of my current CalArts work in the coming few days and weeks, so stay tuned!

TUMBLR.

So I haven't really mentioned this on my blog yet although I have heavily suggested it by writing 'ACCEPTED' next to my CalArts application portfolio post but I was recently (several months ago) accepted into the Character Animation course at CalArts starting this September.

Its pretty excitng stuff and some eager folks have already set up a tumblr account called CalArts18 in which me and my contemporaries in the character animation course will be submitting sketches based around a list of drawing objectives. There's already been some pretty awesome work posted there already so I would highly recommend checking it out.

Whilst I'm advertising I guess I should say that I now also have a personal tumblr account where I will also be posting. This blog will remain active for more wordy posts whereas the tumblr account will be a place where I can dump a load of drawings. Check em' out!
