VENT

Steve "VENT" Bryant: lvl. 23 ANIMATION STUDENT equipped with MOHAWK (+7 to PUNK) and ASPIRATIONS (+15 to DETERMINATION)
An extremely early and rougher version to the finished tv boards from my last assignment.  Some poses are still in the final version, but I really half assed it some places- I didn’t understand the mechanics of tv boards (pans, truck ins/outs), and I suggested like in early feature boards when with tv you have to know EXACTLY where they are (as when you ship them out to animators you have to be as precise as possible), and the fact that I did almost no research in terms of backgrounds hit me harder.   You can see the finished (and better looking) version here!

Announcing that I now have a facebook page dedicated to sharing my art! This may not be of big news to you guys, as most of the stuff you see there will be a lot of the things I post here.  I’m making this mostly because I have a lot of family and friends on facebook who don’t see my art regularly enough to know what’s going on, and I figure sharing on another platform won’t hurt.  If you want to hit like yourself, feel free to go ahead!

Cave Love boards for our last storyboard assignment!  Gosh were these tough.  Boards for tv are so different than feature boards.  It’s almost… mathematical in how you have to plan everything out, and you can’t get too crazy with poses.  It’s all about conveying information so the people who get the package don’t mess up.  Glad these are done with, though!

I answered a question the other day, only to notice I had a bunch more.  Let’s see if I can tackle them all!

mattpichette asked: What program to you use to do your animations?

Almost every animation assignment I’ve done this year has been completed using Flash.  However I’m coming to terms with that I could be producing better work in programs like Flipbook, TV Paint, or Toon Boom.  I’m going to try to get used to one of those programs this summer.

been a while since I’ve posted any animation.  Technically this is two assignments, lipsync with a character who has a muzzle and another with a beak.

I think it turned out okay, it’s obviously not finished but I think I want to clean it up over the summer.
