A lesson about posing

After animating 2 scenes, i realized that something was wrong. In terms of movement, the animations are good, but the characters are not showing their intentions. Looks like they have no purpose.

Then i saw this http://www.animatorisland.com/?p=609

FUCK! I’ve never been used to drawing more than 2 sketches to test the posing on each scene.  Now i understand what Avelino, my teacher at Melies, was trying to explain me. From now on I will always do a massive amount of sketches to capture the feelings and intentions of the characters before animating.

resuming the ‘Inglourious Billiards’ production

While looking for a good place to work, here I am back with personal projects. By far,these projects are the largest source of evolution of my work. This is where I try new techniques, and practice my skills in storytelling.

By the end of  2011, before I have gotten a ton of  freelance jobs in São Paulo, i was working on the pre-production of a short movie, now called Inglourious Billiards.

Well, the animatic is ready, the soundtrack is being produced.

Now comes the sweet part of the process. To animate scenes/characters and draw backgrounds. Please, follow the blog. Soon more stuff about these characters will appear here.

 

(re) design Brasão Vento Sul Hockey Floripa

Ae nas férias surgiu um trabalhinho interessante.

Me pediram um brasão pra um time de Hockey. Sempre curti as marcas de esportes americanos, poucas cores e traços simples, idéias concretas.

O briefing que me passaram foi esse :

Foi bom pq já era um negócio bem estabelecido, não precisei pensar com o lado esquerdo do cerebro. Odeio pensar.

O resultado final ficou assim:
