minimalist running

…I just finished this piece for work, a 50 second introduction movie for a global simulation game. Sometimes its nice to go ape crazy on the colors.

So I’m sitting here at work kind of bored on a sunny Saturday, when I realize that I’m creating a character who is sitting bored at his desk. I’m creating myself. Now if I could only animate a character sipping margaritas on the beach…while sipping margaritas on the beach. Yes, that would be nice.

So I’ve finally gotten to the stage of animating this thing and I’m fairly pleased with the results. Sculpting and blend-shapes were the most fun part of this, hopefully I’ll have some time this year to create other characters in this vein. Clicking on the image shows some of the After Effects compositing.

Pretty little boy isn’t he? Sometimes I have to pinch myself thinking of the job I have…

Doing some 3d character work lately. Here’s a rough beginning of an overweight balding man. We can’t all be super-models now can we?
