Pencil sketch

Found this old test I did for my Senior film. Super rough but I did all animation hand drawn first 

Frozen:Render progress

Render progress of my film. I'm excited to see it all come together and I'm pretty happy so far

Freezer burn Background Tests

Painting background for my film. I enjoy having so much control over the look and getting away from Maya. The animation is done (with some tweaks if I have time..), and I can't wait to put it all together! only 20 days left to go..

Freezerburn Animation Progress

For the beginning of the last Senior class at SCAD I rendered new Playblasts showing my animation progress. So far I did the whole production by myself and it was a valuable experience. I also have good ideas for textures and lighting and I'm excited. But first there is a lot of animation to do :)

Freezerburn: Snowflake model

Adjusting the Tod model for Snowflake characters. No sure about the head and hair yet

First Texture test for Tod

First tests with Toonshader, using 2 shells for the reflections. I'm surprised how fast and easy I got this crystal effect :)

Freezerburn: New Previz with character

New Previz with Fostflake character and, mostly, final models. The storytelling, camera and pacing has changed and hopefully much improved. It was well received by my Senior class.  Also, a new Title - Freezerburn. It's not Frozen, but I'm starting to like it :)

Standing Freezer and Frozen Food

After several people mentioned that my freezer is confusing for Americans, I remodeled it to a standing one. And some frozen food

Tod Rigged and first pose tests :)

I'm so excited. I tried really hard to break the Rig but I almost couldn't!! I guess I didn't do too bad for my first Rigging experience :) Can't wait to animate!

Previz Update

Progresss Tod Model and UVLayout

No more Frozen...Changing Name

So, Disney calls it's new feature film Frozen. What a unfortunate coincidence..I really liked the title. Well, I hope a name pops up while working on it. I'll still go and see Dinsey's Frozen :)

Frozen: New previz for beginning of senior1

The story arch has improved with Tod opening the window by himself. I'm waiting for some more critique and also have a long list with camera fixes.

Frozen: Widnow Model

Back at SCAD for summer classes!

Frozen: Tod Model Progress

Frozen: Hand and Broccoli Model

The hand was a easy process, thanks to the clear model sheet. I still have to add nails (or paint them on) For the broccoli, I first tried different attempts in Maya. Then I decided to fresh up my Zbrush skills and was able to get a much faster and better results. Only the UVs and Displacement export didn't yet work quite as I want it.

Frozen: Previz End of Spring Quarter

Final preViz for Frozen I turned in for Concept Development. I'm still not satisfied with the ending but I have an idea on how to get a better climax. The problem is that I have to add shots, and the story gets more complicated and even longer. My original plan was to keep it under 45 seconds. Well, now I'm more than 1:30.. I like the theme but it's hard to shorten the storyline I am working with.

Frozen: PreViz and changing story..

Here's the PreViz I finished yesterday. I feel it took the visual to realize that there needs to be more conflict/climax. So after getting suggestions from professors, I rewrote my story and plan on getting my new Previz ready today. Big plans, but I'm excited :)
