TEASER



bear animation on Vimeo

Have been pretty busy between working freelance and trying to get this shot tied down-- i knew it'd be a while until i would get it complete which is the way i wanted to present it, but i thought i owed it to everyone to show where it's at as of right now.
As far as critique, the one change i am going to make is a little bit of lip sync stuff arounf the "get outta here". Fast dialgoue can be tricky- and where i put the blink on the word "simple", i feel takes away from his expression and the sorta of "eureka" feeling i wanted, like, he's think "well isn't it obvious". I feel like taking the blink out, and closing the eyes before the accent on the I of "simple" and the overshooting them will give me a more truthful performance. so anyway, check it out and stay tuned!

Matt this looks truely wonderful. I love the weight you give your characters.

It's amazing how you keep the character alive in the beginning of the scene with all your subtle acting. ^^

Can't wait to see it finished ^^, thank you for sharing.

Bobby, Vic: Thanks guys! hopefully it'll turn out ok!
Bianca: Thanks a lot! Weight's important to me, my favorite animators understand it. As far as the acting in the beginning keeping him alive was the goal but hopefully i didn't overdue it. I guess we'll see once i get the other character in there!

its sick... simply sick.. the feeling that has been obtained by the carful attnetion to thing like the neck fat coupled with the posing... ohh that little slice of animation is like a eyegasim

Wowee, it's looking incredible Matt! So many great things to admire and learn from, and what's more, we've been able to see exactly how you got there. It's been an inspiring ride so far, can't wait to see you bring it on home!

I think it's beautiful, but since no one has said anything about the blink, I've been looking at it again and again, and I think the blink should have been just before the "simple", or just after. When people concentrate and come to a conclusion their gaze is usually fixed and focused. I wouldn't blink at that moment.

Only because you mentioned it. It's very very pretty, and I loved watching it so many times!

Shane: wuddup foo!
Mr Normal-- hmmm, interesting thoughts. I probably should mention that this is only half the shot, so it's not all in context as of yet which might change things. I wanted some resignition of that it is "inevitable" and i am glad that it came across-- I needed that beat for the second half to work, it sorta ends his thought on that topic and then he goes into a joke. Maybe it won;t work though- i guess we'll see. thanks though for your comments man!
