18th century high def dinosaur

Here's a dinosaur iv been working on for what feels like an age, finished animating it about a month ago and taken this long to render. There are a few little things that are glitchy that iv not noticed and will fix at some point, especially with the feet but i just want to shelve it for the moment and move onto something new!

Acting reference footage

So its been a while since iv posted anything, i have a dinosaur piece that i have been working on for a while but it's taking forever to render so i thought i would post this up for kicks!

It's my video reference for my office dialogue piece. After hours and hours and acting the lines out, these were the clips i went with to tell the narrative.

Showreel summer '11

Showreel '11 from Joseph Lewis on Vimeo.

Idiot!

A short piece of dialogue from the American office again! love that show. would of liked to get a nice render, but lighting is a dark art which i cannot seem to get to grips with!

Brian and Godphrey

The boys on a day out hunting for road kill, but Godphrey forgot the sandwich's so they are going back to the house, Brian is pissed.

Trex Walk cycle

Just a quick dinosaur walk cycle i did this week. Was nice to do something more physical as it's been a while!

Boolean Tool!!

Mr Chad Ellis showed me the Boolean tool in Maya yesterday... greatest button ever!! So i had a go at modelling a set for my new piece. Really enjoyed doing it! It's nearly finished animation wise, I just need to render it and all that. But first... PORTUGAL!!

(I didn't model the chairs though... strictly the square stuff :D )

Way that you are

Dialogue from the American office(great show), will render soon. Time for a double character scence next!

push re-render

re-rendered the push after fixing the leg.

just a short piece of aniamtion i did this week, learnt loads from doing this piece to do with the importance of video reference and pre planning! and although it could to with a polish, i cant wait to start another! :D

Parkour (again)

This is another parkour piece iv been working on the past couple of weeks. I wanted to add a little more of an exagerated feel to it after seeing Azerus Rising. It's hard not to get inspred after watching that! It still need's a gooood polish. Comments would be great!

push

Here's a push iv been working on for a while. Iv just realised after the upload that the right leg on the first push is a bit gnarly. will change it soon!

push blocking

a short push exercise iv been working on recently, aim to get it done in the next few weeks, pointers would be apperciated :)

Just something to keep ticking over.

here's the rig:
