Barnyard Mayhem Take 2

Just in time for the Merit Scholarship competition, I decided to revisit my short film from last semester and finally finish it! I added an extra scene and addressed some continuity issues that popped up. Some textures were revamped and I ended up using Maya's Physical Sun and Sky for the lighting. My professor wants me to do a HD render of it at some point, so I want to touch up just a couple minor things before I'd do that.

MCAD Animators

A Silent Film for my Intro to Film class. The only requirement is that it had to be a diary. I chose to do a diary of sorts on animators here at school. Brought a camera along with me to the computer labs to capture the moments that happen. Some are a bit exaggerated, but all a good representation of the life in the computer lab. Focused working is broken up by random moments of silliness and frustration as well the need to act out a scene to analyze the movement and help out friends.

So here's an insight into where I spend the most time and with whom.

Sound will be added on the next assignment.

Commercial

Our latest Storyboard assignment was to board out a commercial for any product of our choosing. It had to incorporate some sort of Rube Goldberg machine or at least flow smoothly from one thing to another. I went on Rube Goldberg's site for some inspiration and found out there is going to be a competition to make the best Rube Goldberg machine that will dispense some hand sanitizer. I decided to run with that theme for my commercial.

Purell Hand Sanitizer is the only clean aspect of this commercial. Everything else has a sort of 'dirty'/sketchy feel to it. I wanted to contrast the styles to differentiate the machine with what hand sanitizer is all about, keeping things clean!
