Jaguar Mcguire!

So I'm all super excited cause I just completed my first bit of animation for the production of Jaguar Mcguire. JM is a 2d and 3d animation that this quarter we are completing for a group project class. It's been in production for a while and we are working on getting it done! It's a really exciting project to be a part of. I was doing tones and shadows as well as ink and paint before, so to do animation I feel like I've been promoted, lol. You can check out my part of the animation as well as all the details and work done on the project so far at http://www.jaguarmcguire.blogspot.com/ or just click on the link I put under "cool links". Enjoy!

Rac Maquette

I meant to post these earlier, but anyway this is the the character from my Coon of the Night animation I posted. He is the very first maquette I ever made! I had a lot of fun making it. Reminded me of the ceramics class i had in highschool. The news paper, cardboard and string are my found objects.



My dog Rex decided to get in my face while I was taking these pic, lol. "Watch out Rex, there's a raccoon behind you!!! AHHHHH!"


This is the turnaround and sketch I used when building the maquette for my character Rac.
Also another assignment was to create an environment for our character. Rac lives in an alleyway behind the house of his enemy the evil ferret Nibbles :-) The little piece of paper by the door is to show scale of Rac to the environment.


Illuminate Model Sheets




These are the model sheets for the characters in my senior film, "Illuminate". Be sure to check out the Animatic under the label Animation :-)

Senior Project. "Illuminate"

This is the animatic for my senior film, "Illuminate". I hope you enjoyed it and will follow me as I work toward the final film. I'm in my senior one class now working on the this project to get as much done as needed so that next quarter it's all about animating. I just completed updated model sheets of my characters and I will post them up soon.
