I followed the guide Dave show me to do walk cycle. Move the foot controllers, foot rolls and pelvis controller to do walking movement on the spot in 40 frames then copy and paste key frame and move main controller, then my character walking.

Pictoplasma cont.3

Rilla Alexander
I like her work, her character walk but it was not really impressive. However her lecture was the most lecture I like and it's worth for me. I found an inspiration from her speak. I love the way she creates ideas. She does a lot of research, travel around, explore new culture, and she write down new ideas in her idea book, just like her character - Sozi. To end of her speak, she read her book for audience and she was like story teller with her all passion.

EL SENOR
To be honest, El Senor's lecture was not really good but his work itself was awesome and his sense of humour make the lecture was so interested. From the lecture I known his work and totally love it.
I had his sign in my Pictoplasma guide book. I am absolutely happy with it.

The Black-heart Gang
Ok. It is the artist I like the most in Pictoplasma. I was not satisfied with their lecture but still love their art work. I bought their book and read it and watched the movie many times after I was back from Berlin.

The tale of how

 Their style is not what I try to follow but I still love it in somehow. I searched some video of The Black-heart Gang on youtube and watched a Making of The tale of How. Their style is very specific and their method is well arrange.

The Missing Link show.

This is the last activity I attended in Pictoplasma and it's worth. I had so much fun here. The first time in my life I was going on stage, danced and became one of crazy people.
I recorded some videos during the show.

SWOT Analysis

I am going to use E4 Ident for my SWOT analysis because it is the nearest project I have completed.

Strengths: I found that I am quite good at digital skill, I can learn to use new software easily, not very fast yet not have any big problem. In this project I was introduced with After Effect and I think I will use the software more in the future. 

Weaknesses: My biggest weakness is animatic so I tried to focus in animatic in the project. I improved a little bit when did walking movement, but I still forgot facial expression. Watching whole video again I saw timing is still my problem. In addition I am so easy to be despondent when I face to difficult things. 

Opportunities: From this project I put my name on internet through upload my work on Youtube. I will submit the animation to the E4 website for their competition but I want to fix my E4 a little bit before submitting. Thus I will able to get more feedback from audience and this is the way my work has known.

Threats: My threat is running out of time, lose control when I face to pressure work and to be despondent.

Pictoplasma cont.2

I got mad at blogspot yesterday when I tried to compose entry Berlin trip and something was going wrong in HTML that I cant fix or edit, then I had to post entry though I haven't finished.
Today I'm going to update part 2 of the trip. This part is gonna be about Pictoplasma festival during the rest of week I've been in Berlin. I attended various lectures, screening, workshop and the last show - The Missing Link.
To talk about lectures, I watched some lectures in first day in Babylon including Jeremy Ville, Matt Jones, Rilla Alexander, Mc Bess, Nomint, Christoph Niemann. These artists' work was interested me a lot so I wanted to see their talk. However, just few artist made an impression on me, so I talk about some lectures I found inspiring at Pictoplasma.

Matt Jones
I first saw his character walk - Mr Tea in Mc Bess space and it was not really impressive but after attended Matt Jones' lecture I wanted to found out more about his character. I have to say that I didn't go to his character walk space before lectures. I like the way he created his idea from life. He love to drink tea then he created his character - Mr A cup of Tea. That's quite funny yet interest and good way to have  new ideas.

 Then I went to Matt Jones character walk and attended his workshop.

His character walk was a series of vinyl characters in tea cups which were made by a long list of artists from around the world based on and using his own base character.

I saw so many good character designs. It made me want to collect all of this but I cant obviously, I just bought a Mr Tea and luckily I have limited edition one. That's so happy!

Oh, about workshop, it didn't really work for me to be honest.

Berlin trip - Pictoplasma Festival

Well, I went back from Berlin trip a month ago. It's such a long time to update my blog with information on the trip.

Firstly, Berlin is so amazing place. I never go to anywhere have street art everywhere like Berlin. So so so... impressed and surprised! They draw on any space wall, very high building. Most of art work looks awesome, very good character design, very humour.

The wall along the street in font of hotel was fill up with graffiti, painting. That was my first impression about Berlin.

 This painting amazed me very much. It was big and tall. When I saw it clearly, it made me a little bit scared because it was a tons of human pile on each other. 

PICTOPLASMA !!!

First day of Pictoplasma Festival, after registration, we had a long long day walking around streets to find more than 20 galleries of Pictoplasma artist. I was very excited because of seeing many good stuff.

This is my first project in college. The project required doing handraw 24 frames about loop movement. I chose moonwalk move. I added beginning part that was like I created a character and the ending part is the character disappear from paper.

2/5/2011 - a few update...

I've not updated my blog since I went to Berlin. It's quite a long time. I have to say that I haven't done lots work. These days I'm modelling eyes' character, I think about how to make eyelid to blinking easily. Then I decided to do morphing eyelid.
This is an eyelid I'm done so far. It's just base shape for morphing.

It's such a long time from learning morphing in C4D, so I totally forgot how to do it.
These are videos for morphing tutorial I found in Youtube.




Now I can begin to do eyelid morphing.
