I did a day trip up to Vancouver BC a few days ago and popped this off on the train up in the morning.
Awesome Opossum
I got a little too into a doodle to reply to a text message and it turned into me drawing for an hour an some change.
Still, not the worst thing I’ve spent an hour fifteen on.
The Cutting Room Floor
Here are a few elements that never saw the light of day from the past couple weeks.
Pop Wipe
I saw a video a few days ago that had a balloon pop and reveal it was full of plexus style particulates. I wanted to play with the concept a little. So I did.
When It’s to Wet to Ride Bikes we Draw Bikes
These also doubled as a chance to test out and get familiar with the rad character animation plugin Rubber Hose
The working mans screen caps
As I work on stuff, I every time I have something that I like, I screen capture it. Just a single image, then most of the time I let myself forget the context and continue working at a fervent pace. Here’s some of those recent captures with maybe a little bit about them. If I remember.
Starting easy, this is from tonight. I’m a little nervous about tomorrow’s 3d work since it’s been a month or so since I’ve really used more than 2.5 dees. So my solution is to do style renders tonight so I can go in tomorrow and look like I know what I’m doing on the fly.
The other day the store didn’t have pumpkin pie. So I drew my own.
Pokemon fusion understands me like nothing else. I’ve been adding backgrounds to these sprites in my fleeting spare moments. I’ll make a dump of just these soon as I have enough.
Well this is just shameless self promotion. A reel leftover.
I don’t remember what this came from, but I’d bet dollars to doornails it was tracking.
This is a shitty selfie from playing bikes. I don’t actually think this belongs here.
A warm up sketch from an illustration I got to do for a Discovery Channel show.
Side by side before and afters of a tele that I used. I redid some colors, and made the screen 1:1 instead of 4:3.
Something from an early round of ideas with a wine video. I think these may have gotten scrap or reinvented.
A still from another spare time project to figure out how to set up a physical render with GI and AO to have stable shadows. It’s gotten close, but so very far at the same time.
Tune in next time for rotoscoped graphics without the video layer!
The 2015 Reel!
This past year in a nut shell.
I’ve been extremely fortunate this past year to work on a ton of awesome projects. I was able to wake up excited for what I was doing more often than ever before, which honestly just makes me more excited for what the future holds. I was able to make new friends, work in some very cool offices, learned a couple good lessons on how to avoid all nighters, pulled at least a dozen all nighters, I got to see my graphics across screens the size of a football field, watched a least 100 hours of tutorials, had several things on the telly, and still had time for biking, hiking, reading, and video games.
Now I pour one out for the past year and raise a glass to the next!
…shit… don’t pour glasses out at your computer desk
oh hello
Playing with Ouroboros in After Effects!
Kingston Launch
Here’s a little thing I shot on my phone while boarding the Kingston ferry yesterday.
Sunset Moonrise
I shot this on my old 30d the night before the 4th of July.
