Bet they don't think cauliflower is traditional either
Prototype of the tower. Found that having the character be a climber mirrors the tension of building the tower, as your on edge that it will fall. Just need to test how it animates now with the footage

Thanks 😁
It's going to be interesting when it's time to film it as I build the tower, but hopefully it'll look cool
#Rotoscoping a climber for a project I'm working on

It's still in the ruff stage as I get all the frames sorted for the #animation

The final outcome will have all frames printed on cards, used to build a tower to mirror the climber ascending

A little breakdown of how the laser finger guns were put together

Filmed my hand with my phone and keyed out the background. It's the same hand, just mirrored for the red one and then cutting up the time.

The laser was made using shape layers and glow effects

A couple years back I tried making a Rain Effect using Geometry Nodes in Blender. Recently gave it another go and it's so much lighter! #b3d #blenderart #blendercommunity #blenderartist #geometrynodes

Reminiscing about the time my animation had a technical issue in the gallery I was in. Taken them a while to sus it cause they thought it was part of my video 🤣

Couldn’t be mad cause I see what they mean. I wish it was intensional. Looked cool

How to create an animation cycle from motion capture data in 10 minutes 🔽
This is not Maya specific, the concept works in any other package like Blender, Unreal...
Vortex #animation from FreakStar #musicvideo

The band liked the theme of hands and retro effects. I liked the character portraits in Star Fox. So copied that for the band faces

They wanted the video to get busier as the video progressed. So I set it up to look like levels progressing in a game

compositing rules so fucking much, and i love that people are talking about it more
Hey all you new followers! Did you know I also do a bit of compositing work? It's not a field I ever planned to be experienced in, but after so many short videos through Knights of the Ligh Table, here we are!

Here's how I handled the Eyeball shot in the Frazetta commercial!
This is what the people want when they say more realism games
It realy is an amazing piece you've done. So mesmerising
Whenever I do a workshop for beginners to animation, I always describe it as an illusion of movement. It makes me feel like I'm a wizard
A piece we made about optical illusions.
Making a neon vortex in After Effects. Showing the build up of each shape

It's all done with repeaters on each shape. It's a nice simple but cool motion graphics effects
