Term 1 comes to an end...

And it ended...


Here you have a progress reel with the animations I've been working this last term. It has gone so fast that I can't believe it. I've learned and worked a lot, there are so many things to learn and I'm just in the beginning of the race!! 


It has been a wonderful experience. It's so great to be surrounded by animators that work on animated films you go to cinema to enjoy. Listen to their critiques ( there's no better way to learn ), feedback and have great classmates...I couldn't have done this without you.


Thanks for these months and in a few weeks we'll be back with much more.







And here we have the promo of the school. It's so cool to be included!!! wow!!! :)

Mask

This is the end.
You can't run.
Say your last words
and we'll get some fun.


Don't try to escape.
Perhaps you haven't seen this sword.
Don't blame me, little girl !
I'm just an evil mask a bit bored.


This kid's a good guy
but I need him to survive.
I'm a weird mask
that needs to scare to stay alive.


Once I hear you scream,
I'll be able to steal your soul.
Then you'll roam these fields lonely,
and you'll be ugly as a damned troll.

Animschool

Let's get started !!!

MAD WORLD

Mad world

full of fantasies inside my head.

Mad boy

staring to nowhere.

You knock my soul,

are you going to stay ?

Mad reality

count to three.

and let's start again.

Will you be my Teddy Bear ?

Will you be my Teddy Bear ?
Love me, hug me, kiss me

until I lose my head.

Girl #4187

This is an old sketch I painted in 2006 and I wanted to share it with you. I don't know the reason why, but it's one of my favorites from those days.

Un viejo boceto que pinté allá por el año 2006 y que quería compartir con vosotros. No sé la razón, pero es uno de mis favoritos de esa época.

Little Moon-Boy

Little Moon-Boy wanted to reach and touch a star,

But he couldn't; he hadn't even a single arm.

Luna

Luna altiva, brillante y soñadora.  Me enredo entre mis fantasías y tus cabellos.  


Luna amante, egoista y niña. Juegas con mi reflejo mientras recojo los pétalos del camino.


Luna traidora. Ya no puedo escapar.

- - - - - 

Haughty, brilliant and dreamy Moon. I get entangled in my fantasies and your hair.

Lover, selfish and childish Moon. You play with my reflection while I pick up the petals of the way.

Treacherous Moon. I can't escape anymore

Double Bounce walk cycle

So, here we are again with another walk cycle, but this time with our new friend Norman. This is a Double bounce cycle, or at least that's what I tried to. I really had a great time doing this one, trying to get smooth moves ( Arcs, our friend ;P ) and listening what Norman felt. It's so important.
About the background it's a very simple one. I have no idea about rendering...


Needless to say, I'm just a begginer in this magic world, and you know what ? It's a mind-blowing experience.





( Comments, feedback or a free flight to Paris would be appreciated ).

Blue Monster

Any time you may see a blue monster and eat your heart.

En cualquier momento puede aparecer un monstruo azul y comerse tu corazón.

Walk Cycles

Walk cycle. easy? simple ? really? are you serious ? I don`t think so. This was first time that I had to face with this character; extremes, contacts, passing position and try to get on well with the curves ( green, red, blue - I love you ).
Here you can see the results.  Here I am, step by step...









And here we have the second one. This time I had to make a 360º turn while this ball with 2 legs ( sometimes at night he comes to visit me ) was walking along the way. I'm not quite satisfied with the final result because this is not what I had in mind at first. But that what it is, and I won't stop trying. Yeehaa !!!!!!!!







If you could give me some feedback would be appreciated. I need it.


See you soon, and thanks for watching !!!

A place

Existe un lugar, en la mente de todos nosotros, donde nos sentimos protegidos y donde queremos estar.
Existe un lugar en el que nos sentimos especiales y cuando cierro los ojos es ahí donde voy.
Existe un lugar, donde nos encontramos con los personajes y seres que soñábamos cuando éramos pequeños. Me cuentan sus aventuras, sus historias y las leyendas que rodean el lugar. La avispa reina, la calabaza vidente, el payaso con problemas de sordera, el elefante enano y la niña Angie, capaz de matar a monstruos de 8 cabezas con tan sólo una pluma blanca; es más increíble si sabemos que tiene sólo 11 años. Me han visto nacer, crecer y me guían día a día, a cada paso que doy.
Esta noche, que hace frío, me arroparé entre las sábanas para encontrar el camino; porque existe un lugar donde quiero estar.

Bouncing ball with obstacles

Frames. Keys. Red line. Squash &  Strech ( two great guys, you must meet them ). Extremes. Breakdowns. Spacing and Timing ( thats all about ). Inbetween.  Easing in and easing out. Arcs ( oh, beautiful and lovely arcs !!!  where were you? ). Knocking on Animation's door ?. I've finally got here and we're gonna have a great time together...

Here I introduce you the first bouncing ball with obstacles I've ever made. There are still a lot of things to improve here and I would appreciate if I could get a bit of " feedback " :P
