Rework Pendulum

I adjusted the pendulum! Sort of... 

Week 2: More basic animation!

Here is another pile of animation from this week. The balls a getting alive and a tail, and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Again, there is a lot of mistakes but its a learning process 

Tail on a ball: 

We gave our light ball a foxy tail and this time we had to do it straight ahead instead of pose to pose (meaning we had to improvise for each frame at a time instead of planning it like we did on the ball assignments)

Attitude on a ball:
This one i was really fond of. We finally get to do some acting and with no face or limbs to express us with, we got ourselves a neat challenge. We got a either happy, sad or angry to play with and 2 days. This took all my time and energy but it pays! 

Gerald head turn:

Same moods but with a characters head turn. After the ball I was really worn out so this is not my proudest work. I tried experimenting a lot but it didnt work so I kept it at its basic core. I didnt have the time or the energy to correcting into the model. 

Breaking the joints - hitting a table:

I really liked this assignment and had a lot fun with it. I think i pretty much nailed what i wanted even though the ending should apparently be a bit different. The things in your mind dont necessarily agree with others mind or the real world so gotta do more proper research before deciding.

Next week is the last week of basic animation and its with the traditional flour sack! Looking forward to it!   

Week 1: Basic animation

My first week of basic animation! It was quite fun and simple and gives a good idea what to expect from the work progress  I really wanna fix some of the mistake i made in these but I have been really busy. I may come back to this and fix it if my schedule allows it. 

Pendulum:

Bouncing ball:

Heavy ball:

Light ball

Seaweed (meant to be looped)

A peak into my sketchbook

Here is some of my newer sketches I made in the last couple of weeks. Some of it is concept art for our short film while the rest was made doing pipeline time or lectures. Enjoy!

Short movie crab

My first project in my CA education in The Animation Workshop. We had 2 weeks to make a 30 sec short film from a 30 min podcast (the Moth)  audioclip. In my fantastic group of 5 wonderful people we clipped and stiched the sound-clip into this thrilling story about a lonely man in a mysterious island. 
I animated the first scene with the protagenist and worked across the board to complete it. Flash crashed and we lost a lot of important files (including most of my animation) which is why 
it seems a bit clunky but it still works great.

Portfolio and stuff

If you are curious on how i got in to TAW I have my portfolio right here along with a 3 year older portfolio. 
If you want even more I also have an DeviantArt account here. I havent been the best to update it all but I hope it will change with this blog.
Tomorrow I will upload some animations i did for the first week of the basic animation course. 

My very first post!

Hello one and all! This is my first real blog which will be filled with art goodies I will produce during my professional carrier in animation. 

I just started at The Animation Workshop at august and I am at the moment very busy learning to animate and enjoying my time at this wonderful school. 

This is the place were l will try my best to get you guys on the internet updated with what Im doing at the moment, but first I will in the next few post give you a bit of my background before i got accepted in TAW (The Animation Workshop).

Lets start the blog out with some music! These two music videos by The Heart Sick Groans was visually made by The Drawing Academy students (which I was apart of on these two videos), led by the sexy man, Henric Wallmark! 

I hope you will enjoy it!
