T-Rex [Polishing]

I had the time to sit at home today due to an injury I got a few days ago, which was the time I needed to finish the animation test of this cool T-rex rig.

I don't think I'll want to keep working at it any more, so I believe this is a far as I'll go with it.

Poos in Boots

The original commercial is even better than the parody they keep making about it.
Here is the newest by DreamWorks :)

T-Rex [Smoothing]

Here is the smoothing part where I'm pretty happy with most of the animation, however I still have many things that bugs me and I'll get to fix on the polish phase.

If only I had more time!

T-Rex (Rough Blocking)

Here's a test of a rough test of the T-Rex rig I got.
Since I've seen this rig, I couldn't wait to try it and now finally I got the time to give it a chance.
I only hope I'll get to polish it as I want to.

The Art of Art (or The Mechanics of Inspiration)

During the last year, I had the privileged of reading, remarking, and in the end even be in charge of the graphic design of this wonderful book "The Mechanics of Inspiration" which was written by a good friend and collegue of mine - Doron Meir.

This book takes us through the creative process from the beginning - the idea it self,  until the final product, no matter if it's animation, a piece of music, a sculpture of any other creative work.
The book itself is written in Hebrew but I highly recommend it and you are more than welcome to check out his blog regrading his book.
I hope you'll enjoy it as I have.

A Post Regarding Animation For A Change!

I admit, I had no time lately to post anything meaningful on my blog, it's been a long and tough time (and it isn't about to change soon I'm afraid), but finally I've seen something that I had to share - the showreel of Daniel Peixe.

In case you didn't get the chance to see the movie Tangled, I really reccommend it, since it's been done wonderfully in every aspect: animation, story, character design and set... just really appealing to watch!

How To Steal Like An Artist

I've read this a few months ago, maybe longer... can't remember.
Each time I read it, it made even more sense to me - nothing is original, so you are not really stealing anything, you are just making the same idea but in a different (just like the guy you copied his work did).

I think there are some really good advice here!
