Another Tiny

Saw this on Cartoon Brew. Another stop motion animation with small, intricate pieces. A senior student film from Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design in Budapest.

Teeny Tiny

I'm a bit under the weather and since there is nothing on the Tube worth watching (if you only have bunny ears) I am browsing through YouTube. And through the channel of a former student I came accross this one.


If you think animation is too big a job for you, look at this one:



Okay, maybe this just confirms your worst fears. But hey, it's Aardman!


Thank you again Bizarro for linking the Jersey Shore image

Hooked

This recent animation may be of interest to Brian at least:




Damn Cabin


Damn Maya and damn this computer. >8(

I'm done.

This is just a quick sketch of the robot I plan to create in Maya for my final project. Originally I was going to use a character from the story I'm writing and illustrating for my senior project, but I got to thinking that a robot would be more fun to play around with and in the end be easier to rig for a final animation for next semester. I'm still working on the color scheme for it and will be posting that and other sketches as I continue to develop the character and create it in Maya and eventually texture, rig, and light it.
My robot doesn't really have a background story yet. I might tie him in with the future universe in the story for my senior project which will put him in space fighting to defend the earth from foreign invaders. This robot will be at least twice the size of a normal human and will have various weapons that I plan to show off in the final renders.
