LIVIN' TH LIFE

THE PUPPET LIFE, THAT IS

Color Tests

Here are a bunch of old color maquette tests i did a while ago. I did a million of these, but these are my favorites of the bunch. I'm still not quite sure which direction to take it--theres so many possibilities with this set, and since its all on such a small scale theres such great control for tweaking. I could spend an entire semester just lighting these sets, theyre so fun to do and theres somuch you can get out of them. SUPR FUN

Right now im probably leaning more towards the pink washed lighting, maybe with cooler highlights, although the deep red is kind of really nice too. But I'm also into these night-ish shots with the unfiltered highlights, and was really happy with how it looked straight up naked with no gels, but i dont know. Perhaps you guys have some suggestions? Although i will probably inevitably end up going with an overall pink or red lighting scheme, as i tend to do.

Big thanks to jeremy for the sweet gems

Some Color Tests

Like them, but think i might stick with graphite for the sake of time/sanity

Can't Stop Doing These

Sneak Preview

What I'll be doing for the next two and a half months

Fluff

Finishing this was a nightmare, involving a now-broken camera and more hours spent trying to render than animating. I think I would have loved this project, those things aside. It was just a one week exercise though, so it's nothing crrzzzyyy. But hey, now that most of my work (all, actually) involves a final digital stage, I should have updates with actual content on a more regular basis.

A Work in Progress

Time for some finallllssss, y'knoww?

Dialogue Exercise

FFFRRRDFFFFFFFFffffffff

Fort Gloom

Yes, I finally finished and uploaded my puppet final from last fall. There were just a few minor tweaks that needed to be done, and its just taken me this long to get around to doing them. I actually don't think I've showed this to most of you, so that's exciting. I'll get some production photos up at some point..I still haven't even really looked at them in retrospect really. Shooting this project was a weekend of no sleep and once I got passed it I never really looked back. But if i remember correctly, there were some cool pictures. Anyways, I've forgotten approximate times of things by now, but i think it was roughly 1 week for the puppet, 3 god forsaken weeks for the set (why did I do that to myself?), and then like 3 straight all nighters for shooting. What a journey. But that will be a story for another day. Please, let me know what you think.

Echo

Lip-sync exercise. The reason that I had no time to sleep or post a few weeks ago. (Thanks for the voice Joseph!)

Painting on Glass Exercise
