Wanted to share this for a long time. It's just a summary of what was taught during the Character Animation classes by the Pixar animators during my time at the Academy of Art University. The following document is my interpretation of those classes. I'm not sure if that's exactly was the intention of the teachers. This was put together in a hasty manner one evening, so excuse the formatting :)<br />
<br />

Thanks to my teachers Andrew Beall, Travis Hathaway, Adam Burke and Michael Wu</div>

Got this dialogue and took it as a fun challenge to animate it to whatever level I can
within 8 hrs of starting, including planning and breaks which also
included a lunch and a shower :)<br />
<br />
Do not expect great acting!!! </div>

Took few hours to animate something after a long time. It's pretty rough! </div>

Some of my work from the game Sonic Boom : Rise of Lyric. These were animated at 3-5 secs a day.

Long time, I know!<br />
<br />
This one started out as a animation test for a games studio. But I liked the concept so much, I had to tweak and change it to make it look like what I was seeing in my mind. Hope you guys (whoever is still following this blog) like it. Let me know what you think, good or bad :)<br />
<br />
This is also on <a href="https://vimeo.com/104389020">Vimeo</a> <br />
<br />
Btw, one more animation piece will be up this week. Wait for it!</div>

I've been working on this for a while now, for a minute or two whenever I feel like animating at home these days. It's all animated, and needs polish. Here's a one second tease. And yes, there's more to it. Precisely 12 more seconds i.e. unless I decide to change something at the very last moment, which is gonna make it better but also is gonna take me a year more coz of the Turbo pace (aka, Snail pace, *ahem*) I work at, at home :)</div>

I should probably just call it a yearly update instead. So, here it is.
<br />
<br />After working on three games for three years at High Impact Games in Burbank, I'm now working on a PS3 Title at SuperBot Entertainment, a startup games studio in Culver City. Since the game's genre is new to me, I feel like I'm back into the student mode, which is soooooo refreshing!
<br />
<br />If you're wondering what ever happened to the short, then so am I. It's as of now on hold, coz it became a bit ambitious for one person to fully work on it to see it finished. Now, who is not surprised?! If anyone is interested in collaborating on this one, shoot me an email at skadloori@gmail.com, and maybe it'll get made someday.
<br />
<br />Also I'm thinking of sharing some of my old Norman mods, but not sure how relevant those will be, when there are so many feature quality rigs available for free! I'll put those up in a day or two.
<br />
<br />Till then, Ciao!shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561508406742046067.post-72516543247348413712010-07-03T21:13:00.000-07:002010-07-03T21:37:47.162-07:00Update on updatesFor those who drop by this blog once in a while, I want you to know that I won't be posting any new stuff anytime soon, as I'm preparing to do a short, which I don't know will take how long! It could be 6 months, or a year, or forever like always. No idea. So, for time being, you can forget this blog exists, or you can subscribe for the RSS feed to remind you, in case I have some update for you guys!<br /><br />Now, going into hibernation mode, 3....2....1....shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561508406742046067.post-74541709229270884502010-03-11T21:41:00.000-08:002010-03-11T21:59:51.861-08:00Movie files are back!!Thanks to <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://rdsarna.blogspot.com/">Ratul Sarna</a>, I got almost all the Quicktime files back which I had lost yesterday.

I just renewed my domain and hosting for my website from <a href="http://www.godaddy.com">GoDaddy.com</a> for 3 more years. It had a Auto-renewal thing ON which I didn't like. I navigated to the Renewal options, clicked on Cancel, and it cancelled my entire hosting account including the 3 years I purchased 5 minutes ago. Who puts a Cancel button, which actually cancels the account, in the Auto-Renewal section!!<br /><br />Even though I called the GoDaddy guys right away, they were unable to help with the lost files. They told me there's a $150 fee for retrieval of files. No way I'm paying that! And when I asked them if I could atleast get the hosting account back without the files, they told me I had to purchase an additional 3 months to get it back!! Wow, they must have put the Customer Rip-off number in the Customer Service section too.<br /><br />Now I have a new hosting account, again with GoDaddy, but my files are all gone! I'll try to find if I have any copies of them on my Computer and try to put them back as soon as I can. But I don't think I have any files from my old blog posts! I'll see what I can do.<br /><br />So, if any of you have a website, just get a back-up guys! You never know which Cancel button cancels what! Or maybe I'm just a dumb guy and I didn't know about it!!shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561508406742046067.post-68468610972042470682010-01-30T13:58:00.000-08:002020-09-23T05:31:09.293-07:00Modified Norman<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoUZp2J0TMex2PTb55xJiORahAsp3pBK5ThniQTwsVJD1dx5iBeqIMu_76qSWtcsnZUkkDy0T_xCDRNDGYUpLbupdc4g3rb5K7PXjr_seIvMgL8MsbzHZS7Vgfu88oagbdtOlmdYtODs/s1600-h/ModifiedNorman.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoUZp2J0TMex2PTb55xJiORahAsp3pBK5ThniQTwsVJD1dx5iBeqIMu_76qSWtcsnZUkkDy0T_xCDRNDGYUpLbupdc4g3rb5K7PXjr_seIvMgL8MsbzHZS7Vgfu88oagbdtOlmdYtODs/s320/ModifiedNorman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432655960728112226" border="0"></a>I sometimes get emails with requests to share my modified Norman rigs.

This is the first project I worked on after graduating. The first shot is animated by me. Did bits and little fixes on few other shots. It was a simple character to animate and lot of fun.
It was more fun coz for the first time I was getting paid to animate. After paying the college for years, what a relief!!

Something to blog about. You can check out my reel at my <a href="http://www.skadloori.in">website</a>.
Why it took so long? coz, I was trying to not show it to anyone. But 've been sending the link to everyone I know, so didn't make sense to hide it from others.
To people who don't like it, I know it's bad. To those who like it, I still think it's bad.shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561508406742046067.post-13406119202677532692008-06-25T16:47:00.000-07:002020-09-23T05:33:01.514-07:00Dead Lock - Two Person Dialogue<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" width="720" height="420">

<p>This was our last of the Pixar 2 assignments. I've nothing much to say about this one. As it happens all the time, I've no idea how this turned out.
Comments and critiques are welcome, but not sure if I can address those. It's been long and 'am tired of working on this.</p>shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561508406742046067.post-33049295828865156932008-04-23T00:22:00.000-07:002020-09-23T05:33:22.850-07:00Subtext - WIP<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="420" width="720">

<p>Hmm. I can't believe I did a animation on black eye. But, I hope the acting and animation works.
The assignment was to do a One Person Dialogue with Subtext. The teachers assigned each of us with a Dialogue. They also had a bunch of subtexts written on folded papers. They would call us, and we had to pick a subtext. So we had to animate the assigned Dialogue with the subtext we picked.
The subtext I got when I picked was "Your character is trying to hide something".
Most of the critique I got this week was about polishing. From start to frame 90, they told me to make the mouth shapes look "happy" because she's excited about something and wants to show it to the professor. And also that would be a nice contrast to what happens after the gear-change.
They told me to open her eyes more at 26, because she "sees" the professor and then reacts. The "o" mouth shape at 26, when saying "Oh! Professor", needs some anticipation by opening and then tightening really close.
From 95 onwards, since she talks so fast, they asked me to combine few accents into one mouth shape, so that there isn't the chattering going on. They said "we don't talk like that".
Also my "F" and "M" mouth shapes need work.</p>shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561508406742046067.post-58293102211885659572008-04-16T12:49:00.000-07:002020-09-23T05:33:46.804-07:00Tired - Polishing<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="420" width="720">

<p>This assignment was supposed to be a Silhouette Dialogue where the character is rendered all black with no facial animation. Since I had planned to make it into a proper dialogue piece, I didn't post it back then.
I showed it to the teachers for a quick critique, and they told me that I'm trying to hit every accent and the arms look floppy. They asked me to keep the hands down when he says "prototypes" so that I don't have too many hand gestures.
Also there is a lot of twinning going on towards the end, which I need to fix. Also, I've to fix the part where he's turning. The weight shifts during that part and the pose itself is a little awkward.
Any comments or critiques are welcome.</p>shivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134514896566180327noreply@blogger.com10
