The Frog and Fly

The Frog and Fly from ozeri ben on Vimeo.

This week we have been working with TV Paint (Animation Program) for the first time, together with Rune Ryberg as our teacher.

We had 3 days, a frog, and a fly.

It's always hard the first time using a new program and new working methods, and I also find it hard leaving the pencil and paper. So I decided to have fun and make it crazy, hope it shows :)

Walking With The Pink Panther

The Pink Panter - Stealth Walk from ozeri ben on Vimeo.

After having two fun days of Mime acting with Robert Bennett,

this week and a half we've had great time experimenting with walks on the Pink Panther with Alberto Campos.

Alberto Campos: Animating a walk is like caricatures- first you study the person's look/walk, and then you can exaggerate it.

Robert Bennett- The hips tell everything.

Here is the work in process:

The Magical Collaborative Comics

This week we decided to start a collaborative comics project. This means every time someone will post a continue to the comics and eventually without planning ahead we will develop a story.

This is the first page of the comics that I posted this week.

The comics is being posted in our Bachelor year crazy blog BECAUSE MAGIC

Walk Cycle Test

The Scared Scary Monster

A monster week, special for Halloween.

We had two days of intro to Photoshop, and we were asked to make a monster in its natural environment.

 I added some of the thumbnails and sketches too.

The Weekly Caricatures

New week, new caricatures.

Inbetween

Aisling Inbetween Assignment from ozeri ben on Vimeo.

So this week we were working on Inbetweening. 

We were given the Key Frames and Breakdowns of a scene from 'Brendan And The Secret of Kells', and we got to inbetween it. Aisling (the girl) has got so much personality in her eyes.

The weekly caricatures.

Kaj Pindal: Have a good time, and share it with the audience.

Drawing for Animation class with Frederik Villumsen.
In the past 2 weeks we have been working on a Mickey Mouse scene, using the model from Fantasia.

The guidelines were 6 sec, Mickey casts a spell and then gets disappointed by the result.

In this assignment I wanted my story to be very clear, and that I would hit the audience exactly where I was aiming for. In the end, telling a story and communicating with the audience is the most important part of Animation. Close to the end of the project, after having a small visit in my workstation from Kaj Pindal, I understood how timing was the tool that made the biggest difference in achieving that goal. 

Caricatures for this fine week

Street Sketch

This week I went out with some friends to sketch on the streets. I was trying to sketch some environments but I couldn't help myself drawing some people too.

Work in progress- The Sad Dolls Stand

Work in progress, playing with Photoshop.
Walking the streets of Viborg I saw this guy with a sad handmade dolls stand.

My interpretation to Hamlet's first scene. Last assignment after a week of Design with Lawrence Marvit.
The ghost of the dead king appears in front of the castle guards.

"
MARCELLUS: Peace, break thee off; look, where it comes again! 

BERNARDO: In the same figure, like the king that's dead. "... 

..."HORATIO: What art thou that usurp'st this time of night, together with that fair and warlike form in which the majesty of buried Denmark did sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak! " 

Life drawing, selection from the past two months (1 to 5 minutes poses)
