Week 36: 3 balls dancing

Done in one day, this was a fun exercise; 3 balls dancing to the same piece of music. These balls are friends having fun at the discotheque.

Our main second week assignment, Luxo Jr. doing a take. My lamp has the nasty feeling that someone is following him.

1st Year Final Exam: Dad watches TV

The end result of this year, a week-long animation test in TV Paint. We were given a rough storyboard and the result is the following. The dad from Family Dog sits down to watch his favourite TV program, only to find that he sat down on the dog, reacting accordingly.

Eat UP

The short movie "Eat UP" I did with Kenneth Ladekjær and Glenn August. I'm very proud of this film.

Our starting points were the emotion competitiveness and the random word "synaesthesia". The style was John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy). The rest came completely from our own heads.

I animated most of the wolf scenes. Kenneth did most of the scenes with the little man as well as the cheerleader scene. Glenn then painted all the backgrounds by hand and did the morph scene.
