Shot List

shots 1-31. Short film "Dandy Candy" work in progress

Dandy Candy is a short film I started to help improve my 3D skills in a general sense. I designed all aspects of the film using Photoshop and Maya 2008. I modeled every asset within the film. All animated scenes were done by me using Maya 2008 or adobe premiere pro. I rigged all props and vehicles using Maya 2008. The character rigging was handled by Simon Thomas. I textured every asset myself using Maya 2008 and Photoshop.

shots 32-67 "Back at the Barnyard" -Nickelodeon

I have used shots from episodes “Iron Otis” (Oct. 6, 2009), and “King Kudd” (Oct. 7, 2009). The layout team was given one week to set up each episode. The asset department provided sets, rigged characters and props. Working with 2D storyboards I set up all cameras and compositions. I also animated all characters to provide a general sense of the scene for the director and overseas studios.

new dialogue test

2010-06-05T23:14:00.000-07:00

100% first pass

2010-03-16T02:10:00.000-07:00

so I'm finally done with first pass. now I get to go back and fix things like anim problems, rigging issues and adding and subtracting story elements. I may end up altering the whole hair thing. possibly adding in a cigarette butt or a dust ball or something. also gonna fix the ring on the bag in shot 1 so that it actually has some flexibility with clusters. also gonna start work on texturing and preping for lighting.

home stretch......

2010-03-06T02:32:00.000-08:00

70ish%

2010-02-23T02:34:00.000-08:00

almost there with the first pass at animation.....trying to get as much as I can animated before the end of the month.......cross your fingers

more stuff

2010-02-08T17:25:00.000-08:00

just updating with more anim, new textures and a leash

progression

2010-01-28T15:39:00.000-08:00

meant to post this back on the 20th but never got around to it

anim

2010-01-24T20:42:00.000-08:00

more tweeks.

updated shots

2010-01-12T03:10:00.000-08:00

started back up on a my film. the last shot is still a work in progress

now on to pressing matters

2009-12-21T04:31:00.000-08:00

I've added a few things like eye blinks and expressions along with a few new shots. since I am currently looking for work I'll be taking a short break from the film to work on a few dialogue tests for my demo reel. enjoy!

more anim work

2009-12-14T22:28:00.000-08:00

s0 since I've been home sick I've spent the majority of my time either hacking up greeen crap, listening to my ipod, watching tv or working on my animation. heres an update.

progress....

2009-12-08T23:24:00.000-08:00

just got to a decent enough place with the anim where I felt I could post it. still got to tweek some things. probably add clusters to the bag so I can get a little push and pull.

COLOR CHOICES

2009-11-29T20:37:00.000-08:00

since I have to put off animationg for a few more days I was trying to figure out what color I should use for the lolly pops. I colored each one red before, but I'm afraid it will look to much like sticks stabbed into his face. the different color choices are probably going to be limited because of what will stand out on mortys face. I may also decide to go for multiple colors........

setbacks,but still got stuff done

2009-11-29T17:44:00.000-08:00

probably do more to it later,but for now it doesn't look half bad

2009-11-25T02:34:00.001-08:00

after starting my skinning over......

2009-11-24T02:54:00.000-08:00

I'm almost done!!!!

newly update demo reel with some different stuff.

2009-11-21T17:49:00.000-08:00

so close to animating I can taste it!

2009-11-15T22:40:00.000-08:00

2009-10-27T02:06:00.001-07:00

just some progress on the texture front.

2009-10-18T18:34:00.000-07:00

rough fk test

2009-09-17T03:14:00.000-07:00

just a quick test of the fk controls before I go to bed. I haven't painted weights on the joints so some of the stuff reacts incorrectly.....but I'm happy to actually see the damn model move!

still workin on the set

2009-09-07T16:47:00.000-07:00

city, work in progress

2009-08-30T17:56:00.000-07:00

cutting down geo

2009-08-29T11:33:00.000-07:00

I started over on my model to give myself a model with less geo, but it also gave me the chance to adjust the design and make it a bit more stylized. I wanted to adress some notes people were giving me on the nose.

moreupdates

2009-08-25T00:26:00.001-07:00

workin on it. threw a temp checker texture on the bag just to see how it might look

DemoReel2009

2009-08-24T23:43:00.000-07:00

my current demo reel. I'll probably update later as soon as more shows start airing.

more stylized

adjustments

2009-08-17T22:18:00.000-07:00

ariel and I were talking and I decided to try and stylize the truck a bit more

progress

2009-08-16T16:17:00.001-07:00

just more progress modeling stuff

truck redesign

2009-07-26T18:46:00.000-07:00

more roughs

2009-07-19T19:57:00.000-07:00

trying to get a rough idea of the texture on the dog. I started with an image of the 3d dog, then painted over that.

Greys anatomy

2009-07-09T18:48:00.000-07:00

still working on bumpy areas, but its almost there

mr munoz gave me an idea

2009-06-22T11:27:00.000-07:00

so I bought the art of "UP" this weekend. While looking through it I noticed that there was an artist featured by the name of "daniel lopez MUNOZ". This was a bit of a shock to me because normally I rarely ever hear the name munoz other than someone who is speaking to me. maybe once or twice I'll hear it on the tv or see it in a story or whatever........but an artist that works in animation.......I've never meet another artist by the last name of munoz. its kind of weird. anyways. one of his pieces was a facial expression breakdown of russell. so I thought I'd do the same sort of thing for my character.

more bag work

2009-06-16T10:19:00.000-07:00

just playing around with color and design of the bags. they will probably change more in the future to make them a little more different from each other.

bag art

2009-06-08T10:23:00.000-07:00

just spent time working on bag art this weekend.

building frontview

2009-06-01T18:36:00.000-07:00

just trying to figure out the look of the buildings. perspective is way off but that not really what I was focused on. I want to set up a few front view and top views so I can use it to build the actual model.

new painting

2009-05-18T10:27:00.001-07:00

2009-04-20T10:26:00.001-07:00

did some work this weekend on a bg painting to figure out some elements of the film. also did a turn around and a little more detailed collar for my dog "Mortimer" Plus I have a small skeleton sketch I did a few weeks ago just to try and figure out my dogs anatomy. enjoy.

more bg

2009-04-06T10:23:00.000-07:00

just trying to figure out the bg, also did some posing.

bg

2009-03-30T10:23:00.000-07:00

just been trying to work out the bg a bit, not finished but almost there. My first version was a bit to realistic so I decided to make it a bit more bright and less realistic

dog sculpt.

2009-03-19T00:03:00.000-07:00

I did a sculpture of my dog just to get a handle on shapes and size. I took some images into photoshop in order to try and play more with scale. I didn't want to have to redo stuff.....I'll probably play more with the size and shape later.

painting

2009-03-16T10:46:00.001-07:00

just did some more work this weekend. tried to get this out as soon as possible

animatic, 3rd pass.

2009-03-09T18:27:00.000-07:00

3rd pass at the animatic. trying to work on the dogs motivation. let me know if you have any suggestions.

dandy candy, second pass

2009-03-02T10:40:00.000-08:00

let me know if you have any thoughts

Dandy Candy(working title)

2009-02-25T10:46:00.000-08:00

Hey so this is the first pass at my film. let me know what you think. late last night I was thinking it would be a good idea to have the film start out with the bag of candy on the dogs head. The dog could then shake it off and enjoy his lolly pop. I just didn't have time to change it I've added in temp audio,but still have to find/record some sound fxs. Anyways let me know what you think.

paintng

2009-02-24T22:48:00.001-08:00

i didn't feel like working on storyboards on sunday. I did some painting to get a better picture of how the character might act.

Dandy Candy

2009-02-21T19:06:00.000-08:00

so I know I keep saying this,but I'm starting a new short film(pause for laughter) Ok so I've felt extremely uncreative at the moment. yeah I work on a great tv series,but in my spare time I've really not been doing the same great personal stuff. I've started a new film and am 85% done with my first pass at story boarding. Once I put finish first pass I'll post it and show you. but here are some rough character poses along with a profile image.
