New Website

Filed under: Animation — Jeff Baker @ 12:33 am

The new website is live! I spent this weekend redoing the look and layout of the website and I really like what I came up with. CSS made for some fast coding for this one so now I can get back to animating.  The only page that needs content is the Animation page, but since my Demo Reel is right on the front page I’m not that worried about it.

So go check it out!

Demo Reel 2009

The Final reel with music. I tightened up the beginning animation a bit and to make it a little less redundant.

Final Render- Mech Girl

Filed under: Animation — Tags: , , , , — Jeff Baker @ 12:40 pm

This is a lower quality of the final animation. With lights, motion blur, updated camera, and reworked the ending to give it a better “splash”. I added in the muzzle flashes to the rig to give it a more dynamic moment.

Still having fun with cameras and building up that portfolio. Did this one today. Need to fix up some more little issues with that second half. But I like it so far.

Mechanical

I’ve never done anything thats mechanical and thought this would be a fun rig to try that out with. Its just a simple Lift Off.

Back to the action

Sorry for the lack of updates, some times I miss the motivation train. But, I’ve got two weeks free to work so I’m going to bust some stuff out.

I’ve had this one I’ve been working on off and on and finally finished it up. I wanted to work with a camera, because a lot of the best game demo reels I’ve seen have camera work and it really brings the scene to life. Interested to hear what people think.

*Edit* Removed the cut. Felt very jarring and smoothed out the camera a bit.
