PIXELATED



Super VFX by Patrick Jean... love the use of games in different ways to destroy the man made features... Gotta watch this... :)



DEADLINE....

Can truly understand what this fellow feels like... happens to me all the time.... lazed and dazed... :)

Classic Stop-Motion


THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE
This video probably defines stop motion the best....the animation by Apt with Asylum Films creates the setup with only books, books and books.... amazing to see how characters come out from the cover and travel to their destination....4th Estate.... Their traditional old book lines define the body of the characters and not one but many.... Kudos!! :)


A SHORT LOVE STORY

By Carlos Lascano.... Amazing combo of two different environments....Simplistic expressions.... So lets not write too much and let it remain simple... :)


Well even I tried my hand at stop motion and claymation....didnt turn out that good...but yes m still improving on that one...

Pixars latest Short : Day and Night


DAY AND NIGHT
Pixar's new short film.... Love the concept and the visualization... They have kept it simple with like two appealing characters, simple day and night scenes but very effective... gotta watch it at-least once.... :)

Masterclass 1 @ Pune: Day 2

Aaj class mein kya bataaoon??
Vaibhav Sir at his best.... Now you know where all his cartoons come from.... hehe... :)



The genius himself at work... his drawings are just perfect....


Me and Huzaifa at our best at anatomy.... Not very easy but still we tried... :)

Masterclass 1 @ Pune: Day 1


Live Sketch

This was one of my sketches during Masterclass 1 @ Pune.... Awesome experience sketching live at Vaibhav Sir..... Tried to capture the cloth - his T-shirt and capris.....the flow of it...

Superfast
Coming Alive...

Vaibhav Sir with one of his 20 sec live sketches..... probably captured the essence of the pose in a minimal time rate.... Love the charcoal stick effect...can even smudge it for that "great artist sketch" look....

Tips and tricks...
Hello... u went wrong there!!

Our final review of sketches with all three - Vaibhav Sir, Tony Sir and Vivek Sir.... Strange even one of the simplest stick figures amaze vaibhav sir... So its not all about complexity and detail... The action at the moment is all you need to be relatable enough... Something that I learnt back then...

Is that my head drawn perfectly??


This one image says it all.....the basic fundamentals of traditional classic animation.... Any animator would be lame without knowing this.... The traditional Walk cycle and Run cycle... and the best part - no one can match up to the precise accuracy of the poses that Vaibhav Sir draws... that too like in 2 secs... Hes like a live book... dont need anything further than that... :)




Well, wish I had taken science seriously in my school days...  :(  coz that's what m leaning now.... Anatomy of the body for drawing perfect characters for animation....trust me... no one wants a dismantled piece of character sketch... gotta get your basics right!!



Be it gaming characters or even cartoons, anatomy is alwys important!!! Proved by : Vaibhav Sir.... Even his cartoons dont disobey!! :)



Spot the difference. True Genius.... Love it!! :) :) :)
