Where I am artistically (Response)

This is me posting the “where I am ‘artistically’” summary thing for class.
Also, copy and pasting from microsoft word creates weird spacing issues.  I have no idea why.

-Concept:

Fun/Entertaining

Action

Comedy

-Aesthetic:
Video games

Sci-fi
Stylized

-Passion:
1^st Character Rigging and Animation

2^nd Visual effects/compositing (And CG characters in live action)

-Technique:

Animate from reference footage

Integrating CG elements into live action

Artistically?  I have no idea.  I either want to make characters come to life for video games or to make funny, entertaining and possibly somewhat action based short films and achieve, with visual effects, things not possible in reality. (Not easily anyways.)  I like making people laugh and entertaining them with amazing things they might not normally see, and possibly put a funny little twist on whatever that may be.

My current inspirations are mostly the works of Corridor Digital and Freddie Wong which are both youtube, VFX-based, short-film-makers.  I also have similar inspiriations from their own in the form of gaming in general.

Response to the notebook assignment

I was asked to post a response to our notebook assignment, so here it is.

I felt the notebook was useful for jotting down ideas I didn't want to forget.  Mostly ideas for visual effect shots or jokes.  It was also useful for writing down lists or class notes and even orders for Chinese food at one time.

It was a helpful little notebook for not losing ideas with but I don't think I got as much mileage out of it as most of my ideas this past week were for a short film group I started with my friends.

BFA Show Ideas

I’m leaning more toward visual effects/compositing for my show.  I’m strongly thinking of presenting a montage of large VFX shots strung together like a movie trailer.

As of now, I’m thinking of showcasing two characters I already have rigged in the shots.

A robot:

Slenderman:

The robot would provide an interesting challenge with environmental reflections, but both would be fun to do.

1st Day of class!

In preparation for Wednesday in my Senior Studio class, I made this mini demo reel for my presentation intro.
Enjoy!
