Milk's Tale: For Those Who Haven't Watched Yet.

This film was just screened in Hiroshima' 08, an International Animation Festival. I don't know why & how they want to showed this... I would never know if they didn't send me a cert..

Anyway, for those who never watch this, it is my final project that I completed together with my group members: Hoi Mun, Carlyn, Melissa, & Batman a.k.a. Kang Hang in year 2006.

*Margarita, hope you love this~ ^^

The Journey to BAK KUT TEH.. (from my house)

Hear BAK KUT TEH, See BAK KUT TEH, Speak BAK KUT TEH.

Almost there...

China Town Gate

Arrived!

The Menu

I finally ate bak kut teh in Golden Mountain!! Have been dreaming about you since I came here. Taste not bad, price is ok. I get what I want tonight, I'm satisfied~

自然律

点与点行成线, 线与线行成面, 面与面行成体; 体与体就成了空间, 空间移动时就有了时间; 这就是所谓的时空, 将时空扩大就成了宇宙...

这是否就和 《易经》 中的: 易有太极, 是生两仪; 两仪生四象, 四象生八卦.. 是相辅相成的？

我们每天所对着的 Maya 也是建造于这概念吧~

那么..点又是从何而来呢?

Sneaker Eater

This is a new project I'm going to start, named 'Sneaker Eater'. It took me abt 6 hours to paint this. Based on a Nike Dunk SB reference. More updates on this project will be posted in the future! Behold~^^

07 Reel: Walkcycle Part 01 [Normal...?]

Walkcycle is 1 of the difficult thing to make it good, especially a 'normal' walkcycle. This is what I did during my term break: 'Normal' walkcycle.

What is 'normal'? Does a character act nothing at all is called 'normal'? without any expression/emotion called 'normal'? Or without any exaggeration on the animation/movement is called 'normal'? It's not easy to give a clear definition. Somehow I always feel a character who act nothing at all, no expression/emotion is kind of fake, as he pretend to be 'normal' but he's actually not. A normal character doesn't act 'normal'.

This is how I did, I try to reduce the exaggeration to the max; I just don like to animate a character without any exaggeration, it's not an animation to me.

And try to add an emotion to this character, with a subtle facial expression and body gesture. Just imagine when a person walking on the street, he must have some kind of emotion with him: He is happy today, or sad, mad, or bored...

Of cause, some study and analyze on how to do a walkcycle have been done as well. Like few good reading, look at how's human walk...~

Btw, this is a Norman character, which provided by my character animation class instructor.
I actually still working on these, not the final aniamtion yet. Perhaps I can reduce the followthrough that I did for its hands and foot. Comments and critiques is welcome~!! =D

Principles of Animation

Let's revise a bit of the Principles of Animation:

1. Squash & Stretch
2. Anticipation
3. Staging
4. Followthrough & Overlapping Action
5. Slow-in Slow out/ Fast-in Fast out
6. Exaggeration
7. Secondary Action
8. Weight
9. Timing
10. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
11. Solid Drawings
12. Appeal

How many do you still remember?
