Rave on air complete

took my animation to broadcasting on thursday. A boy called luke sorted out my jelly for me. So all is good now. all i need to do is sit back and wait to see if it passes quality control if it does then ill be so happy as i might be the only one in the class that manages to get on TV

progress update!

another oldish project update. i removed the animatic from the chart as i didnt do an animatic in the end as i didnt need it. Also i changed some of the days on the chart to what i actually did them in.

ROA Edit complete!

well its finished. All my hard work has paid off. What i have achieved this project is a very good quiality clear simple animation. its by far the best thing i have made this year which i am very pleased about. Every project i seem to get better in some way, and this project i think its been on my modeling and animation. Id like to thank alec for doing the lighting in this, as i didnt do it. Hopefully this will pass for rave on air, and will be shown on tv is what i hope. So far its looking as i will be the only one ready for rave on air quality control hand in?. next time i do a jelly animation though i want a better rig to the jellys rather then just squash bend and stretch. Also having simple black eyes on the jellys would be good also.

Renders finished!

yes my animation is now completed. I am very happy with it, and i must say its my best work so far on this whole course. up on level with the mansion project i did in the first term. today i rented out the sound fx harddrive to some sounds ready for next week. I got some good ones done so im happy. next week monday and tuesday is sound recording and film editing so that i can hand in my animation for roa on wensdsay the 26th wish me luck

new floor and jelly studios logo done!

all is nearly complete now. just need to do last shot and render that out. all renders are now at 1024 by 576 now. i really like the look of it. Its fresh clean and simple colours i think that people will like to look at. ty again alec for showing me how to get the logo in the background on an alpha in maya =)

shot 4 completed!

shot 4 is complete. just need to add the glow inside the blue jelly. Also the background colour changes, but this can easily be fixed. going to start the last shot now =). also next week i will render out the whole thing properly. with a new background floor i hope.

shot 4 so far.

lol the last big jelly. he dosnt like the green one lol

project update

now some of the things on this project i didnt have do, such as animatic as i didnt really need one becuase i had some storyboard to guide me through my animation story. also the rigging part wasnt to long as all i had to do was make a squash and strech deformer and that was it. main thing is im on schedule so thats good. I think i can easily make it for the 29th quality control deadline.

part 3 complete

looking good now. just 2 more shots to go and ill be done. might change floor texture to a checkers table cloth. Also i might add a blured out kitchen to the background but i will see. the last big jelly will have a bend deformer also. so he will be able to wiggle about hopefully and give some nice flow change to my animation

hard day. what video u think better. 1st or second

just look at the green part when he takes of in the air. which one is better the 1st video or second. i think the 2nd one is better as it has a better take off? WHAT do you lot think?

schedule so far

i dont think i will be making an animatic for this project, as i dont think i will be needing it. but so far so good just hope i can make the 29th may deadline for rave on air

just for fun

just testing in photopshop a simple font on top of a renderd image of my animation. This is not final just a test

Shot one complete! - No light vs lighting

looks really good now. im really happy with it alec did a really good job on the lighting in this.

test render

this is a test render done today of the first shot. i renderd it in maya software with 3d motion blur. it looks nice. this is just a test. tho i want to keep the back ground simple and floor simple with nice clean textures. i will also render of in layers aswell hope you like this.

shot 1. progress - nearly comeplete

todays work on maya has been good. id say nearly a breakthrough is animation for me. this is proberly the best bit of good animation i have done. its certinly alot better then my old ball squash and stretch scene. im really happy with it i just need to make it more longer on the plate so he looks around and more and hops once or twice. and dan really helped me alot making this look better so big thanks to him. i just hope the rest of my shots look as well animated as this and i should be fine

storyboards complete

jelly bounce test

just getting to grips with a simple bounce test for my jelly. I was also using the graph editor alot more in this to make it better. i must do storyboards soon so i can start my animation

jelly model
