finished animation

Last Friday there were the presentations of the animations. I’ve been working from Thursday 10 am until Friday 7 in the morning.

6.30 in the morning, installing Premiere CS4 for the editing, Hendrik working in the background.

I slept one hour and went to the school. I felt like crap and looked like a zombie. The presentation went well, but I had the idea that it was more about camera angles and storyboards then 3d animation.

But here, my movie!

Personally I think it is kind of a mess (bad camera angels, influent animations, overall crappy design), but I have to blame the shortage of time for that. Everybody in my class was complaining that 5 weeks is way to less to make an descent animation, and the most of them had an advanced course in 3d modeling before. I totally agree with that, but I had to learn everything from scratch (poor me). So in the end I’m quite pleased what I produced. I think only half of the class had something to show. Sounds just like my school. Now I have to worry about writing a evaluation paper of 5 pages. O crap, I also have to finish my internship report. Complete waste of time, writing this kind of stuff.

Somebody complained I have to make more pictures, so I try to make and upload some photo’s. The point is that I don’t have descent camera. I also think that making photo’s all the time is bad, because you are more busy trying to cease the moment than trying to enjoy it. But anyways, here pictures from last night. I’ve been to a punk band, so here a blurred dark picture of the night.

A lot of piercings and long hair.

Was standing here with my white hip sweater, between pierces long haired dudes with band shirts of Motorhead and Iron Maiden. Nikki does not care. Felt like the old days when I listened to this kind of music.

Next week I’m going to start the new course. It’s again a mess, because the teacher doesn’t want to speak English. But we’ll see about that on Monday.

Stockholm

Yesterday night I came back form Stockholm. Today I’ve been busy with cleaning my room and doing some stuff for the 3d course (but way too less).

But anyways, Stockholm is a nice and beautiful city. It’s a shame the weather was crap, there was a thick fog the whole day, so the sightseeing tour (with guide) was kind of useless. I surely want to go back someday when I have more time and the sun is shining. Afterwards in went to the centrum to walk around and buy some stuff. I also picked up my ticket for the Prodigy, who is giving a promotional concert for the new CD in the end of this month. I’m going with a couple of Swedes, so I think it would be fun. In the evening we went to a bar, luckily the fog went away, so we saw the old city at night, which was very nice. In the end I had to run for my train back to Eskilstuna, because I forgot the time, but I made it eventually (the doors closes behind me when I got there).

Also some kind of trend in Stockholm to walk around with a silly hat.

Silly hats!

Silly hats!

This week I finished my main character for the animation. At the moment I’m busy rigging (giving bones, to animate properly) the model. But here some renders.

This is not the finished model btw

Personally I think the penguin looks a bit like Tux (Linux mascot), unintentionally of course. Others said it looked like the evil pinguin of Wallace & Grommit (click & Gromit penguin" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUEoLn2NWcM" target="_blank">here to know what I mean). But I’m quite satisfied, especially this is my first from scratch made model.

I have to finish the animation before the end of the week, so it will be a week with a lot of caffeine and sleepless nights.
