First 3d animation I've done since college. This is just a splinetest. I've been blocking out poses for a few days on this character and decided to see what results I'd get when changing the keys from stepped to spline. This is just a transition from 1 pose to another, ignore the floating.. I literally just selected every frame and hit spline, no tweaking.. needs more inbetweens, etc. Just felt like positng .. something!

This is the first phase of blocking out some poses while getting it a little synced with the dialogue.

This video just shows what happens when I go from stepped to spline!

My thoughts on animation..

"The beauty of hand-drawn animation is it’s physicality, with every image, every frame being rendered through emotions of the animator. I have a deep interest in all mediums, but nothing is more aesthetically pleasing than that pencil on paper feel. This year marks 100 years since the first key-frame animation, “Gertie the Dinosaur” (1914), and still this expressive art has unseen potential.

The motto of being an animator, cartoonist, or whichever title you prefer, is that you never actually grow up while having this much fun creating. I believe the unseen potential I had mentioned is just the opposite. Of course having fun is a must, but it is our duty as creators, as people who hold onto no limit with their craft through unforgettable stories and endless emotions, to bring about messages that provoke world conciliation and neutrality, just as music does.”
