In this version you can see the Layout. So everything (camera and models) is set up in 3D. The timing and shots are set. Ready for the next step: animation. -There is no sound under this clip-
So this semester we started the Short Film Pre-Production. Part of this job is making an Animatic (some kind of moving storyboard) so the timing and story of the film should be readable. There is no sound yet. I hope to get that in soon.
This is my Class 04 Assignment of Animation Mentor. We had about six weeks to create this animation on top of a sound file you had to find yourself (my audio file is from Idiocracy) UPDATE: just decided I will finish the last two classes (where you have to create your own Short)... so that you know :)
I now reached my last semester at Animation Mentor (class4) As I just started with the Dialogue shot (two characters acting) here you can see my just finished monologue shot. The assignment was simple: get an acted sound line from a film and animate the character on this piece of dialogue. In my case I got the line from Will Farrel in the Wedding Crashers
So, since I stopped for one semester at Animation Mentor, I have some time to spend at rendering my shots of my last assignments. This one is still from semester 2, where the assignment was to get Stu to make a jump and land. Well, I started with the landing and made him jump after. And I also scaled Stu in such a way he became a weird looking huge creature (I first collored him green, but my friendly colleagues pointed out it made him look like a giant courgette :)
My name is Sem Assink.
I've been born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
I'm an Animator and currently working at Guerrilla Games on the Playstation3 title Killzone2.
Besides this job I also follow the online school: Animation Mentor, which is truly amazing! I learned more than I already expected from the beginning. So now and then I will post some progress here on my Blog.
