Luxembourg Sketch Crawl

I,ve put my images up on the Luxembourg sketchcrawl blog, Please check it out. It was a really good crawl yesterday, good turnout too.

Torch Fire

Short loop animation of a fire on a torch.

I had a play around with some of the filters in toonboom. Its amazing what some glow and blur filters can do! theres a mixture of the two filters using different alpha levels and intensities.

  Trying to add more heat to the fire is always a must but I dound it interesting just how different the filters could make the FX look and how many re-use possibilities there could be. I like a couple of the really blurry versions on the top. It could be a useful technique for adding depth to a shot. 

Big Bada Boom!

The mother firework hehehe. This was really fun to animate.

Rio

So, last night I went to see 'Rio' from Blue Sky studios. The main thing I liked about the film was how colourful it was, all of the different birds and the environments were stunning. The film had a good sense of design and the story, staging was strong. I was laughing for ages at one of the support characters voiced by will.i.am, especially for the line 'birds vs monkeys!' The only downer I had from it was it all seemed to wrap up a little too quickly at the end, but I guess the story was over and there was no need to dwell on what happens next. 

I would definately recommend seeing it. Even in !3D! lol

Fire work go Boom!
