I love this animators perception on the basic object. :)

My first attempt at meshing celebrities together.

Completely out of order, sorry about that, I meshed Helena Carter and Tim Burton before I meshed Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears.

Here's that.

I love Neomorphus. It is simple, scary, and beautiful. I wish I knew how to do more animation like this...But I will learn eventually to morph my digital work with my claymation work and it will be awesome and it will be good. I can't wait.

Here's a visual reconstruction via .gif form of what I've been working on aside from the Stop Motion.
Meshing faces! :)

The Making of a Stop Motion Film.

So I'm a busy bee working on a stop motion film. Granted it's only 1 minute and 7 seconds, for every second I need 30 photo's. I want it to be damn good.
Now, the assignment I was given was to take 30 seconds of an already created film (Of course I want more than that, yeah yeah yeah...), and re-create it in stop motion some how.

I chose Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the "Am I Ugly?" Scene.
Watch it here on Youtube.

So I'm working on a very small scale. A lot of people are using, well...other people. I find it easier to slowly move my objects myself. I also purchased a Canon SX40 ( Good bye Pay check! )

Anyway, check out the beginning of my cute model - actors. Keep in mind that they aren't done yet!

Here's Jim Carrey:

And Here's  Kate Winslet:

Oh, and might I add...36 colors of playdough is TOTALLY worth it!

The First Machinema Short Film I Was Ever Proud of.

I am a huge fan of The Weepies. The first song I fell in love with was "World Spins Madly On."

Awesome, now that you have the definition of Machinima, thanks to the infamous Dictionary.com, I can explain myself.
I. Love. The. Sims 2. The Sims is actually the game that inspired me to achieve the idea of being an animator. It's cheesy but hey, I'm proud of it. I downloaded a ton of custom content such as the hair, clothing, furniture and altered the video recording settings within the game as well as the frames captured per second (which when filming makes it extremely tedious but makes it look awesome when completed), figured out how to get smooth camera movements thanks to Youtube tutorials and Google. The program that I used to piece it all together was Sony Vegas Home Studio 8 on my HP because macs just can't handle the sims 2 (let alone a lot of games are not compatible with a mac or at least weren't when I started filming), which isn't the best but it gets the job done which is much better than using Windows Movie Maker on an HP.

OKAY OKAY, enough blabbing here's the first successful video I've ever made.
