Update!

Just an update...

It's still missing the textures for the background, and a lot of animation to be done... So far, I'm considering redoing both characters' rigging set, I don't know if they'll handle the needs of some scenes.
I've graduated, and now, unfortunately, I've got to put this project on hold for a while, at least until I get a job.

Hey there!

This is an unfinished image from my next shortfilm.
More info and images soon... (at least I hope so...)

See ya!

Bend Preview!

Hey there,

The past two weeks, I've been working with an animation called Bend (the name goes forward to the soundtrack, which is missing in this preview).
Even with some problems during the process, I think it ended really well.




I don't know if I improved my animation skills comparing to my first short, but it was the best I could do such in a rush. = /


The credits also goes to:

Maybe in a near future we will post the final version...

Hope you enjoy it!
See ya!

Long Time Don't See (Again!!!)

Hey there!

I've been kinda lazy with this blog, almost 8 months without a new post... : S
well... I`m back...again...
So here is my first attempt on Richard Williams approach to "Milt Kahl Type" Strut , it's not 100% accurately... I slowed it down just a bit, and I'm trying to figure out what's going on with his head, hahaha, I'll fix it ...sooner or later...

Here is the model I used: Max

Walking Cycle from Gustavo Encinas on Vimeo.

That's it...
See ya!!!

PS. Please let me know if you're experiencing any problem to view my videos or the other flash content.

DAMN...

Unfortunately, we couldn't achieve the final round...
We did our best, and even not going to France(where the Final will be placed), we're really proud of our final video. It was the first time that each one of us, really worked with animation! LoL



Well, here are few things that I did during the animation process...

This is our main character, I designed him, based on the earlier design that Fer did for the storyboard.

Here is a chart that I did to animate the robot. (Robot Designed by Fer)

Some animations...

Robot

Robot eating it's box

Robot Shutting Down

I did these two sequences, and Felipe (Bozo) animated the other sequences of this robot.



Main Character

Walking Cicle

Idea

I did every sequence this guy appears! So if there is any animation problem, it was me! : (

Finished Scenes

Panoramic View

Truck Sequence

I animated the truck (for the truck I used expressions : S) and the rocket, such as the camera movement (for these 2 sequences), Pan did every background you'll see in the animation and Juliano precomposed the backgrounds into 3D layers, and set the camera movement for lots of other sequences.


Well, it wasn't easy to write this post, but now that Imagine Cup finally ended (at least for me!) I'll post more often! LoL
I really wanna say thanks to everyone that supported us, and as soon as I can, I'll post the finished animation!



Now, let me go back to my Animator's Survival Kit!!! : )
