Katie Canadas : Animator

So here is an updated version of the box jump I've been working on.  I think it's come a long way, but definitely still has some touch ups and improvements to be done.  I'm happy with it though and really feel like I'm starting to come into my own as an animator.  I feel like this semester is going to be full of good things, so check in often to see some cool stuff I'm going to be working on!

So I am once again working with the children's television show Crab Cove as an internship this semester.  I'm definitely looking forward to it and hoping it will really help improve and challenge my skills as an animator.  Here's the first clip/work in progress of what I've been working on, this is maybe 2.5 hours work so far.  It's a very rough cut but hey, you gotta start somewhere!

I am responsible for the animation of Salty the seagull and Colonel the crab.  Sal the sealion's animation was as you see it now when I received the scene.

Well now that the holidays are over, I'm finally able to work on some side projects that had to be put on the back burner   This first one is just a simple box jump, below is the first works in progress video.  I've completed my first round of blocking and will begin further refining my blocking before moving on to splining. I've decided to do some shorter, more simple animations for awhile.  I feel I'm struggling a little bit, so I want to build my confidence as an animator with these shorter animations.  Enjoy!
