Goodbye Market Square

Oh my gosh!!! 10 shops in Market Square burned down today!! ARGH!

Film Making Links

MakeMovies.co.uk - EXCELLENT script writing resource from the creator of "Henry's Cat" :D

Car Blur

There are some cool photos I took in the car once which I've uploaded to my Picasa Web Album.

Check them out here.

Clear Screen

Cool little trick idea I stole from some photos I saw at Flickr on w00kies page here.

Naval Strike - Visual FX Test

A 2D visual effects test, combining several effects, including strobe effects, smoke, and sparkling water (scribble cel).

2D/3D Hybrid Test

An experiment I did to try out a hybrid 2D/3D animation. I know the walking speed doesn't match the scrolling speed, but whatever, it's an experiment it isn't supposed to be perfect :P

Egg Head

See character design, story board and animatic in "Egg Head Production".

Oh, this is my first "actual" animation too, cool huh?

Egg Head Production

Concept
I originally got the idea while chatting with a friend on MSN. I'd just drawn my first walking cycle and sent it to him as an emoticon in MSN.

After making the walking cycle I got the silly idea of the legs walking off by themselves. While we were chatting, we mentioned the emoticons head looks like an egg, then I got the idea. Here's the exact original concept from the MSN conversation:
He is walking along happily, then his body stops, but his legs keep on walking. Then he's like :| wat da? And tries to drag himself after them, then the legs come back n kick him, crack his head, then he cooks himself.

After that, I story boarded...

Story Board


...and came up with a character design...

Character Design


...made an animatic...

Animatic
This is just a very crudely animated story board, so don't get disappointed.



...and then animated. All finished the day after I thought of it. View the final animation

Walk Cycle

Here is my first 2D walk cycle, and scrolling background!


Made with Macromedia Flash 5.
Thanks Google Video for hosting my videos ^_^ Internet sure is getting handy these days! If I wanted to put this online back when I was in highschool, it wouldn have been slow and expensive. Now it's easy fast and free, mwahaha. Good progress!

3D Wooden Doll Backflip

Today I made this little animation of a "wooden doll". There are a few problems in the animation, but I only learnt how to do this today, so I'm not sure how to fix the problems... oh well, next time!

Falling

Day 2 @ School

Today was 2D animation day. We just learnt the basics of drawing vector graphics. I drew this with Flash 8 (Wah nice, all my other drawing is my old old Flash 5!)


Monkey in the Tree

First day of school

Today was my first day at school! Studying animation~~ Anyway, here is what I made at school with Maya in my 3D animation class...

Zombie Plan

Titles were inspired by "Planning to Fail" from Red vs Blue.

Zombies are still cool.

Oh, sorry I can't link to the hi-res pictures anymore! Apparently I was violating the terms at Flickr by directly linking to the images, so I better not do that anymore... oops! You can still see them, you just need to do more clicking.
