Pugilism

pu·gi·lism - The act of beating an animation into submission.

I added a sound effect. I don't know if it's working or not.



And here are my 3 sound clips for my next assignment.

3 Clips

I hope to do some subtle acting with one of these. I am leaning towards the Bill Murray one... I'll wait and see what Ike says though.

Jamaican Blue Mmm Mmm Mountain

My wife and I have had this coffee before and it's great. I just want to thank Thuy and David for thinking of us during their Rastafarian vacation. We will totally enjoy it!

Trailer Trash

Can you tell that Bishop had spaghetti for dinner?

It's my first smoothing pass. I still have not touched the fingers, the eyes need a little work and the mouth is mostly still in stepped. The second half of the shot hasn't really been tweaked yet, but as always please feel free to critique.

World Serious

Go Stros!

The carnage at the cubicle wall continues. We have sacrificed the ostrich for the Astros. The ostrich has been left alone for way too long anyway, it was his time....and we don't have a cardinal.



Mad Mo and I have given this offering to the baseball gods, in return we want a World Series Championship for Houston.

If the baseball gods show no mercy on us tonight, we will offer something far greater for game 7...

Brilliant Animated gif

If you play WoW, and you've seen LOTR. Watch this.

No More Web Design

So this is DrasticGraphics.com from now on. I am an animator. Why spend time on web design when that takes time away from animating? I like blogger, I like that people can leave comments, I like that my site will be easy to change and easy to access, so this is it for now. I don’t care to create another website again. I like how this one turned out, but I think it's my last.

I will continue to add goodies to the right sidebar. The demo reel is still a work in progress, but I know I will get some good feedback so take a look if you get a chance. I think I am going to take that last "angry walk" out entirely. It's not reading and I didn't put enought time into it in the first place. I will work some more on the reel this weekend, after I finish my AM stuff.

I have added links to two good friends of mine, James Pitkin and Cecil Roberts, guys I worked with at Archangel Studios. Both of these guys are effin bad ass artists and I am glad I got to work with them.

There’s a new feed subscription link also, the old feed should still work though….for all 2 of you that subscribe.

I will be adding a ton of my older work, Warzone Football stuff, music from Aardvark Aadventures, 3D Models, etc. soon.

Pugilist

This is my second week of blocking on this assignment. It's Charlie from Young Guns, for those that didn't know.



There are obvious gems in the dialogue and I have tried to hit everything without making a pose fest out of the assignment. I rewatched the scene tonight and about half of the shot goes back to Billy the Kid's reaction.



I made some changes suggested by Ike and some fellow AMers.

I started moving the muppet mouth a little, trying to get a feel for the timing of it all. I only tried to hit major mouth movements for now too.

The sound seems to play about a frame slower on my AM workspace, maybe two frames slower.

Any comments or crits appreciated.
