My trip to Warsaw and Yummy post production

I spent few days in Warsaw working with guys from Film Garden on my short. Finally we were able to find the color scheme and overall look that I was happy with. My goal was to end up with something warm and really nice to look at and being able to direct the viewer's eyes on the important parts of the image like eyes and spoon with the food. This week we should be able to complete all the shots and the last thing is to finalize the audio for the shortfilm. Woo-hoo! I am waiting for the day when I will open the cold Corona, sit down, relax and just play the final piece :).

I also had a chance to meet Zbigniew Rybczynski. He is the polish artist who won Academy Award in 1980 for his shortfilm "Tango". Really awesome experience to meet him and listen to his point of view on film making, technology and what can be created in the future. Really mind blowing experience.

Gesture drawings

Some quick sketches, just to feel the flow and practice some gesture drawing. I really love dancing figures, there is so much rhythm in them. Too bad I can't dance myself.

Walkcycle Maya

I animated the walkcycle assignment in Maya. I love to tweak the knee pops ...;P

2d runcycle

Just another 2d test.

Stewie's icons

Hey folks,
I spent some time doing small icons for Stewie for my maya shelf like Jason Ryan did for Boris in his video tutorials. The cool thing about having icons on the shelf is that you can hide curves in the viewport and you also can turn off selection highlighting, so you won't see any highlighted geometry in the viewport. Very handy and helps in keeping your workspace clean. If you want you can download the icons and create your own shelf for Stewie. There is even photoshop file with layers, so you can easily create any new icons you might need in the future.
