Animation workflow tutorial by Kevin Jackson

I found this on the “Anim-Dailies” group in Facebook. Its a nice blocking technique used by animator Kevin Johnson.

He is basing his technique on some tools from MGTools which I didn’t know exist and now I want them as well :) . The Anim recorder tool is especially handy and cool.

His approach is super fast and in 10 min he is blocking something that will probably take a few hours at least if done in a more “traditional” way (although all his poses was saved at front but still!) .

here it is:

And here is part 2 of his  blocking tutorial which he use other tools like the anim-library (again from the MGtools). the facial expressions he made here are just pure gold.

Hope you like it. Till next time,

And he is doing superb job at it. His work is wonderful and you should definitely watch after his blog.

Arnona-race – a very cool an fun game

www.arnona-race.co.il

This game was done as a graduation project from the animation department in Bezalel academy. The project created by 2 students: Oren Rubin and Alon Simon.

It was inspired by the old quests of the 90′s – especially those from Lucasarts (monkey island, Sam and max, Day of the tentacle and etc.)

I cant express how much I love it. The designs are beautiful, the animation is excellent, it is funny (if you’re living in Israel) and to sum it up in one word: FUN.

If you like the genre – play it!

till next time,

Guy

Electroshock – student short

This one is a student film made by 5 student from ESMA in France. released few months ago.

In my personal opinion – The designs and story are not so original – we’ve all seen all of it before (cloudy with chance of meatballs?).

but the execution of that is beautiful done. the animation is good, it is a funny short with good storytelling and made me  laugh few times, which I think personally is the most important thing.
