Oscar winning shorts

I've haven't watched all of them, but here is a collection of 46 of the Oscar winning animated shorts from 1931 and up to now.
My favorite so far (even though I know if for quite some time now) is MANIPULATION.

Enjoy!

Class 4 - Session 407

This week was all about having the right timing, but I've decided that my timing was pretty much as I wanted it to be, so.... I've used the spare time to go and move into blocking plus - have some more inbetweens and giving a better feel of the animation when it would be moving into spline.

Class 4 - Session 406

This week we had to show our first blocking - of course things would change quite a lot at this stages (camera angles, extreme poses etc) but I think I'm almost there in general.

Finally - the full trailer of Wall-E!

Class 4 - Session 405

This week we finally started to work on our new dialogue part, and I'm so excited about it!!!
I've decided to go with a comedy (of course) but yet to try and give it a twist - I've took a line which was being said by Ben Stiller, where he plays a superhero and managed to make the line to a cute little viking warrior, who is looking for his address book :)
I hope my mentor would agree with the idea, after all it has a picture of a kitten on it!
Anyway, this week was all of the sake of getting the right direction, which means the most basic blocking there is - a layout, just to see what is working and what isn't (camera angles, poses etc).
I would like to thank a good friend of mine which also studying at Animation Mentor with me in the same class - Shimi, for helping me out with the acting stuff.

Hope you'll like it!

Pixar's Wall-e commercial for the Superbowl

Man!!! I've been to the cinema earlier this week and saw the last Wall-e trailer that came out, and once again, my jaw dropped!
It's going to be such an amazing movie. I have so much empathy to this tiny robot (How the hell do they do that?!), that I just can't have enough of watching anything new about him/with him.

This cute commercial which involves also Buzz light year and Woody this time....ahhh.... Pixar, how I want to work there some day :)

Anyway, watch the commercial and enjoy!

Finally !!!

It's been great animating this 10 seconds monologue but I truly think I had enough of it.... really! I've been working on this 10 seconds animation for about 2-3 months!!! A man can stand so far before getting... nuts :)

Anyway, This is my last pass on this animation, fully rendered.
Hope you'll like it!

A short - SuperMoine

This is a short film I've seen on ANIBOOM which been done by Black Bunny Studio.
I strongly suggest you turn your volume down before seeing it because this music (Which even though it really isn't my style) fit right on.
