Coming to life!

So when i asked my dad what he wanted for Christmas, he responded with "Murphy".
I'm sure he meant for my thesis to be done, but whats more fun than sculpting!
so after staying up till 4am on Christmas eve I finished!!
so here he is (i still want to touch up a lot of the painting but for now this is how its staying)





Also have been working with my music guy, we've been having a grand old time coming up with stupid and hilarious melodies to my thesis.. Its been a splash of new inspiration! Ill think about putting up a previs, but not sure yet ;)

Judgment day

As everyone knows today was the day everything for lerer was due, not entirely but pretty much or you'd get your ass handed to you.
It was a great turnout for the most part. Some better than others, but the hard work showed through. I'm pretty excited for next year and i can't wait to see these thesi in action :P

That being said i have a couple of things to post
Here is my preVis with sound, yayy!

Animation Exercise

Animation for Lerer
The objective was to get a character to open a door, walk to a table with a ball on it. Sit in the chair and contemplate the ball

My previs is pretty much done but i still have to put audio to it, as well as my animatic. So much left to do and so little time!
What have i done with my time??

Oh and if you have time look to your right and vote for what you think the beer can label should be! and if you don't like any of the choices let me know :)

First Post

Hey potential viewers
I'm going to start using this blog for mostly thesis related updates, as well as random work if i decide to post it.

here is my first animation with my newly textured thesis character

I still have a lot more work to put into this, but it was about 8 hours of animation all together.
Trying to put together my storyboards now. Im hoping for the last time, but knowing me i will probably change it several more times.
Untill next time
