    Animation questions

    in TWO Animating

    Posted

    I was wondering a couple of things about animating on TWO:

    1. Once your accepted to work on TWO are you allowed to do just one shot, then afterwards decide whether you want to do more?

    2. Can you request a certain shot?

    3. Do you have to complete the bootcamp/art of A:M to be in it, or can you show animation you've done without doing these things and get accepted?

     

    Thanks! :D

    Storyboards with Doug Sweetland!

     

    Man, I got really lucky with this Pixar exhibit at MoMA!

     

    The day before the Pixar exhibit closed there was another lecture, this time by animators. These animators were: Doug Sweetland (he animated that sequence of Woody and Jessie playing "Woody's Roundup" in Toy Story 2) and Kureha Yokoo (she animated that sequence of Bob and Helen where Bob tell her he's going to a 'confrence' in The Incredibles).

     

    Anyhow, they had a great presentation and afterwards I went to go talk to Doug Sweetland. Now, I didn't want to bother him with my storyboards, but I'm glad he looked at them in the end, since he gave me some invaluble advise (I had made a mitake when I showed them to Jason Katz, I didn't tell him the story, here I did). So, luckly I got a part of my story fixed, which if I hadn't shown him the storyboards, I would have never noticed, and would have killed the short!

     

    Pixar people never cease to amaze! (By the way he had taken a break from animation to be a story artist on The Incredibles, now he's back animating on Cars)

    Jason Katz liked my storyboards!

     

    Sunday, January 22, I went to a lecture by Jason Katz (who has been working in story at Pixar since Toy Story and is currently working on an untitled Pixar film) on storyboarding at the Pixar exhibit at MoMA. Afterwards, he waited around to answer questions. I had brought my storyboards, just in case he could look over them, so I left my place in line and went to the back to give people with questions a chance to ask them. When I got to the front I asked if I could show him my storyboards and he said ok. He started looking through them, and asked if I had studied this...well you could bet I wasn't expecting that! He just kept going on about how clear they were and everything, it definately made me happy!

     

    In the end he signed the first page of my storyboards, here's a picture:

    Storyboards

    I started these a while ago, but since then new ideas have come about, so I just started over again. Before, I was using index cards and it was starting to become a mess. So I made these templates and I've done about 30 panels already and I'm still going!

    Hi guys,

    I know I posted in OT, but I meant to post here so here it goes:

     

    Basically, I'm going to use this thread and the site to talk about stuff involving Crayon. Here, and on the site, I'll be giving updates and all that on how things are going. Anyhow, there's not much on the site yet but, I'll be updating it, with pictures and video and stuff.

     

    The URL is: http://crayon.avituchman.com/

     

    Sometime tomorrow I'll add some storyboard pictures.

    pretty good overall...put some moving holds in there! right now it looks very "freezy"..

     

    the springing looks very weird. Springing upward wouldn't be a faster/stronger force than coming down...they'd be about the same...make the springing action of up/down about the same speed.

     

    Yeah, I also had a problem with the stuff that I intended to be snappy. Although, I have some moving holds in there, I just didn't know that they were called that... Also, which springing thing are you talking about? The one where he's like an accordian or when he jumps up?

     

    ouch... 38 megs for only 22 seconds? That doesn't have to be.

     

    still waiting for download to finish.... :(

     

    I hope it finishes soon... What should I do to fix it?

    New poster for 'Crayon'

    Thanks Oakchas, I thought people would say they looked melted. When I drew the concept for the poster out on paper someone else said they look melted. What I'm trying to show is the crayons in the box looking down at the crayon on the floor. So, if anyone has a better way I can show that, I would be greatful. Oh, and the words were drawn a person, not the crayon.

    Thanks guys, as for the crayon looking like a garden hose, I don't know about that, but I like how he squashs. Although I was curious if you guys could read his emotion (sad) which is what the walk was, a sad walk, well that's what I was trying to achive. Also what's a fan bone? Anyhow thanks again. (Nancy - I'm accually redoing the poster cause I fixed up some models it'll look mostly the same, but, you'll see)
