Holy crap it has been a massive few weeks, and I do mean MASSIVE. With 3 completed animations. Not bad for someone that went for years without completing anything worth while.
Of course "The Telescope" is the main one, after all it is the main thing I have been working on for the last 2 years. You can find it right here!

I will no doubt post up the Youtube version as well once I get it up and running.
And here are some screens from the last few scenes of the film. Aren't you glad you wont be seeing more of these for a while? I know I am, in a bitter sweet sort of way...
But as I mentioned, that isn't all I have finished, oh no, why just moments ago I finished my loop for http://www.loopdeloop.org/
It felt good to work on something short and sweet. I also experimented with tweening for the in betweens rather then the squiggly in betweens I had used in Telescope which just aren't practical with the way I vector my animation. I will probably end up uploading it elsewhere after the end of the month, most likely with a looping 8 bit soundtrack.
And if that wasn't enough a commercial job I did for work has also gone live. You can find it on the front page here. http://www.whalerealestate.com.au/
It felt sort of odd not vectoring the line art like I had in the above animations, although I did render the backgrounds the same way. It was definitely a nice change of pace and the first time in a long time I have had to animate like this to a brief. In the end there are somethings I would have liked to have done if I had the time, but im quite happy with what I accomplished in the limited time I had. I also got to use some really over the top expressions, for the first time in my history of working on commercial jobs, so that was exciting. I really hope I get to work on more projects like this in the future.
In non animation related news, my parents are visiting tomorrow, it is there first time to Melbourne and they are staying until Monday morning. Im really looking forward to showing them around. Will be nice to take a break from the computer for a few days as well. So I guess I will write about that once its happened. Until then, peace out.
