Animation Reel 2012

2012-01-03T04:28:00.000-08:00

I have promised myself I will put out a new reel at the beginning of 2012, and after working super hard and making my poor laptop work even harder, its finally here!

I might tweak the shots a bit and even add more shots but right now I'm happy with it. Enjoy!!

Too much sun

2011-10-31T09:28:00.001-07:00

I was on the bus today and staring out i caught a glimpse of a little boy walking along the pavement, he looked exhausted and a bit 'lost' in his own thoughts ... the sun is harsh on this island

The other half (wip)

2011-10-26T07:42:00.001-07:00

here is a work in progress version of The other half ... which the other half of Nina, Dan. I'm still experimenting and aiming for a dark and mysterious overall look ...

Nina

2011-10-24T07:35:00.001-07:00

I'm really enjoying drawing these days. Here's one I did of my favorite person/friend Nina (Over at Nina and Katy on their cloud - http://katieandninascloud.blogspot.com/).

exploration of drawing style continues

2011-10-17T11:14:00.000-07:00

To explore and understand how Toulouse Lautrec drew, I copied some of his work (above). I really like his lines, they are almost always very curvy and elegant but at the same very simple like a stroke.

There was a picture I took while being in Starbucks in London in 2004 that I thought would make a nice drawing while trying to expriment with the lines (Above image)

Yet my 2nd attempt, again based on a picture I took of a woman in Starbucks, isnt that successful as I feel I went back to my drawing style with sharper lines. I need to remember to keep it curvy and light ...

Experimenting with style

2011-10-13T07:04:00.001-07:00

I'm currently reading about Toulouse Lautrec and I stumbled upon a painting of his that reminded me of a sketch i did and didnt really like.

So i decided to attempt painting the sketch in Lautrec style just to see what it would look like. The result is ok but I'll have to experiment a bit more to really understand the painter style and way of work

Sanctuary found

2011-10-12T09:27:00.000-07:00

I knew this guy who was my classmate at college and he used to go to the cemetery to eat his lunch … he preferred the company of the dead to the living and the cemetery was his sanctuary …

Picture I took back in 2003 during my college years

I’m less dramatic than that. But sanctuary is a place where we feel we can be ourselves; let our thoughts run its full course and at the speed of light. A place we feel safe, maybe not physically but emotionally.

My sanctuary has always been among books. There’s something about the smell of pages and the arrays of book shelves that brings peace to my inner self.

When I was living in London, Borders and Waterstone was where I’d head if I wanted time to stand still and forget the outside world. I have spent many evenings sitting in Borders on Oxford Street and just being happy … when I was at Bournemouth University, I’d always escape to the library and you’d have found me sitting between shelves reading something interesting on cinematography.

I guess the advantage of my sanctuary is it’s not only a safe place but it’s also somewhere I can loose myself in reading and learning.

On this remote and tiny island I am currently stranded on, there’s no big bookshop and I spent some times looking for a sanctuary and after months, I have finally found it.

My new Sanctuary

Teaching at University of Technology

2011-10-08T03:22:00.000-07:00

As there's only 5 more weeks for the semester and 3D Advance Computer Animation module to reach an end, it is with a tiny humble gleamer of pride that I look back and realised how much some of my students have improved.

Teaching is hard ... harder than working in a studio and dealing with deadlines. But the rewards come around when the students start showing potential and understanding of the subject at hand.

When I was offered the post of Lecturer for the Advance 3D Animation module at the University of Technology Mauritius, I was excited and I saw it as a chance to teach not only character animation but also impart the right industry ethic and the importance of being honest and truthful to oneself.

I chose Character Animation as the main focus for the module since it is something that students wont be able to learn by themselves watching video tutorials etc. Modelling, texturing and rigging etc can be self taught but not Character Animation.

Whether or not my students choose to become animators doesnt matter, what matters is they have a skill that nobody has in this country and if they've managed to use MAYA to animate a full body character, then everything else should come easy to them.

Below is the 1st Pass blocking for the Section 2 of this module. The students are in their 6th weeks, they barely knew how to use MAYA at the beginning and they've never animated a full rig before ...

To Exist is to change

'Broken Heart' is selected for the Ile Courts Festival

2011-09-04T01:53:00.000-07:00

The Ile Courts Festival organised by the Institut Français de Maurice was one of the reason I made the short film 'Broken Heart'. I found out about the festival 3 weeks before the deadline for submission and even if I had the concept for the film, I intended to use Stop Motion to make it. Unfortunately I have never made a Stop Mo animation before, so with only 3 weeks to make it, I decided to stick to the medium I'm good at, that is 3D.

The Image above show the initial concept of Broken Heart, I started storyboarding it but I got as far as 1st panel ... with short deadline, I didnt have the leisure to spend time storyboarding the whole film ... everything were thumbnailed quickly ...

Thanks Institut Français de Maurice for organising the Festival and for selecting my short film.

Conversation with my Cat

2011-08-16T19:34:00.000-07:00

After nearly 3 years of not having a conversation with a cat, I'm back conversing again !!!

New Concept for a new short film ....

2011-08-13T08:34:00.000-07:00

Here's the first concept of the style I have in mind for L'Opheline et La Mort (Death and the Orphan) which I'm really eager to develop into a short film.

The mood is dark but it will vary throughout the film ... will make some more concept soon

Little drawing

2011-08-11T19:26:00.000-07:00

So I've been back on the tiny island of Mauritius for a few months now and its a completely different setting, no more people asleep on the train, but still plenty to draw from.

I went to the waterfront recently( a popular hangout for the youths) and they had this break dancing competition going on.

Now I thought perfect opportunity to learn some body mechanics. Then there was this guy who stood out with his vibrant outfit. This for me is what contrast is all about. You can have a muscular angry looking guy who contrary to appearance is soft spoken.

SO the guy was a great dancer and I love his pink shoes!! Hope you enjoy the drawing as much i did making it! :)

Nearly there!

2011-08-04T18:52:00.000-07:00

Its been 3 weeks and there have been lots of ups and downs but I'm so happy I decided to do this short animation for the Ile court Festival.

I'm happy with what I have right now even though its not done yet but I think I'm nearly there!! :)

Short Film test shot

2011-07-29T04:06:00.000-07:00

"It depends if they have a passion to say something or to feel that they have to make a film otherwise they cant breath, then they will do it, they will find a way ..." Martin Scorsese when asked what advice he had for young people who wants to get into the film business

I'm making this short film because I had a story to tell and unless I get it out there, I'd probably be walking around like someone in a supermarket who knows she needed something but just cant remember what ...

Regaining Perspective

2010-05-16T15:57:00.000-07:00

I have never blog about what I have done during the time I was away from AM. Well the truth is during that time I pretty much didnt look up from the computer screen!

And by doing so, I kind of lost perspective. I forgot the reasons why I was an animator until a friend pointed it out to me. But still I was so focus on animating, that anything else got blurred. For example, I didnt take any time out to watch some good acting or movies reference.

Fast forward to the present, I'm in the 8th week in Class 04 and soon hopefully I'll be heading for Class 05 and it dawned on me, how much AM has helped me grow not only as an animator but because I have such a fantastic mentor, I'm also learning from his very very long experience in the industry, and that is priceless ...

I finally found some time to read a bit about cinematography(I havent done that for ages) and I looked up the work of Michelangelo Antonioni. I have just found the most breath taking composition I have come across in a long time. See below!

Week 04

2010-04-26T13:49:00.000-07:00

Here's what I submitted. I'm moving on to polishing now, There's not much change in terms of action but just cleaning up the arc, timing, spacing. Should be on my reel next week YAY!

Blocking Plus

2010-04-19T13:54:00.000-07:00

The Golden Poses

2010-04-10T17:14:00.000-07:00

This week I have learned a golden lesson about Golden Poses and I swear I will never block my shot the same way again. So here's my 1/2 day work, having spent a big potion of that drawing and watching my ref over and over and over and over ..... again

AM CLASS 04

2010-04-05T03:49:00.000-07:00

I'm BACK!! So I took 3 month of leave of absence from AM since I started a job and I didnt know how I was going to cope etc. But now I'm back on AM and it feels SOOOOooooo GOoooooD!!

AM is the best place to be and so let the adventure begins/continues!!!. My 1st assignment for this term is a pantomine acting piece (idea as shown above).

Will be updating every week!! :D happy anim

Last Ninja

2009-12-13T14:50:00.000-08:00

This is my last assignment for class 03. I'm taking a term off just to catch my breath and polish my work to put on my reel. Yes polishing to a high standard takes time and I really want to give that high quality polish to my animation.

Ninja shot 02

2009-11-16T17:53:00.001-08:00

Here's my 2nd assignement thus Shot 2 of my Ninja animation. It still need massive amount of polishing and work but since I havent updated my blog in a while i thought i shud try and post this one

ninja stewie Week 02 update

2009-10-18T09:56:00.000-07:00

I aimed at finishing the shot so next week will be polishing week. Overall I didnt have too much trouble with this one, mainly because it was very clear in my head and also I have some awesome feedback from my AM peers.

Le Mal de Vivre

2009-10-07T16:58:00.000-07:00

Here's how i would explain Le Mal De Vivre:

Its like being hang by your legs, trying desperately to fill your lungs with as much oxygen as possible, never knowing at what point the rope will give way and you'll hit the bottom of the ice cold water and after that ... well either you turn into a fish or there wont be anymore breathing air!

1st pass at ninja stewie

2009-10-06T09:25:00.000-07:00

6 months ago i would never have attempted, let alone even know how to approach such a shot. But here I am today, happily animating a super cool shot and so far, no trouble. I filmed the reference for this shot and it is the secret to successfully animating a shot, reference, reference, reference and strong poses!!

I havent touched timing yet but just the main poses and already you know exactly whats going on in this shot.

Great start of term 3!!

And my 2nd assignment for AM

2009-08-17T02:35:00.001-07:00

Here is what I did for the 2nd Assignment for Class 2

I have found my true calling ...

2009-07-26T14:11:00.000-07:00

... and its animation!!

Okay, I always knew I wanted to be an animator and a storyteller ... but since joining AM, i feel like I have finally become the person I always wanted to be. Being part of AM (I'm sure its been said a zillion time), its like being part of a family where everyone works together, help each other, respect and encourage you to go even further.

A friend of mine pointed out to me this week how frustrated I was on my 1st animation course at Saint Martin and true, she did said to me back then i will get better, but its not until now that i have started believing that i can animate, I can do a better, and maybe aiming for Pixar isnt reaching that far for the stars! :P

Oh well just random thuts but here is what I submitted for my assignment this week.

a very productive day indeed

2009-07-23T18:02:00.000-07:00

I have been amazingly productive today, I finished modelling, updated my showreel (http://www.jasbeer.co.uk/showreel.html), watched some more ecrits and manage to throw in a render of Tailor and compositing the whole thg, well its WIP though, but you get an idea.

Well I needed a break from refining but going back to it tomorrow and hopefully i will an awesome piece by Sunday!! :D

character modelling

2009-07-23T07:44:00.000-07:00

taking a break from animating now and then, i modelled this character (designed by the very talented Reza Riahi). No texture at the model but the next step is to clean the mesh, hope you like it

currently polishing

2009-07-23T04:49:00.001-07:00

Why do we animate? Remember Boo from Monsters & Inc and how her laughter generates a great amount of energy? Thats why I animate, to have that reaction, a tiny laughter or a smile around the corner of the mouth, that why I do what I do!!

I had my ecrit on Tuesday and my mentor reaction kinda reminded me why I want to be a great animator. Polishing stage!!

being more than an animator ...

2009-07-15T13:37:00.000-07:00

this is a random entry to just get something off my mind. I'm in class 2 and my current mentor is Leigh Rens and I know all mentors at AM are great ones but I think Leigh is awesome!

He is into stroytelling and lots of his lecture goes beyond the body mechanics stuff making the whole animation process so much more interesting

Which brings me to the title of my entry, I'm more than an animator, true I want to be a great animator but I'm also a storyteller and film maker!

Right now I feel like I'm learning solid body mechanics but also how to make an animation work not only by the getting the science behind it right but getting the entertainment value across!!

something to dwell on ...

180 turn block

2009-07-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

Class 02, first project, blocking pass 01... next week it will be a bit more polished!!

What on Earth am I doing?!

2009-07-04T16:20:00.000-07:00

Okay this entry is to talk about what am I doing right now and the reason I'm making this entry is simply because I want to share some awesomeness.

Well beside being over moon doing AM, I'm also freelancing, my recent work is a website I have designed and developped. Here's the link

www.marcobolognesi.co.uk

Then I have started teaching Animation 2 hrs a week. And let me tell you that the guys I'm teaching are absolutely awesome. Their knowledge on the subject of Animation and films just blow me away. They know more, so much more than I did when I first sat in an animation class.

And they are very enthusiastic! For me spending 2 hrs teaching them is very refreshing because at the same time I'm learning and revising all the important stuff about animation. SO yeah, I so love teaching tht class right now

THEN, for the first time, and boy, I have bee drawing comics/graphic novel for so long now, I get to spend 3 days doing a comics/graphic novel workshop for, I have been told, a very talent bunch of guys!!!

How cool is that?!!, 3 days talking about comics!! I have so much on the subject I want to pass on and I cant wait to see the works that come out of tht workshop.

Other news is the Image above have been manipulated in GIMP! Yes Gimp! and not photoshop!! I have also started learning Blender, So I guess the future is opensource!! :D

Reel for Class 01 and seat belt fastened as class 02 takes off

2009-07-01T17:05:00.001-07:00

So I'm officially in Class 02 and today I had a blast shooting video ref for my animation, well partly because it involved going out in the sun which normally doesnt happen very often.
So here's what I did for class 01 and hey I have removed the bouncing balls. I'm still working on the personality walk, very slowly

2009-06-07T13:54:00.000-07:00

YeeeHaaaa!! Its amazing how much energy you can have when you do something you absolutely love, its like you never run down. Since I started AM i have done a great deal of sketches but its mainly because my Mentor keep pushing us to do a lot of drawings. he wants to see at least 20 drawings per week and because of him, I go to an extreme length of researching poses to communicate emotions ad ITS FANTASTIC!! i look at animations, films, you tube, BBC motion gallery, name it and I've looked through it! ITS GREAT to an animator. so here's the sketches for the past 2 weeks (Concern - exhaustion)

Class 2 is round the corner

2009-05-27T15:47:00.000-07:00

I know I know

I should focus on Class 1 and get those basic principles ticked off. But I'm freaking excited!!! Class 2 is just a couple of weeks away and I have been keeping an eye on what those guys do and its really awesome, you get to have some much fun!! Yey!!

Okay back to work

2009-05-24T15:58:00.001-07:00

Physical strength can easily be portrayed using a props but remove the prop and see if your pose read the same way ... I always assume (despite knowing better) that posing my character would be an easy task that can be left to the last minute. but then once working on it, i always realise it takes more than a strong silhouette to make a pose to work, and then i go in and start rotating every single of the body because for a pose to work, every parts of the body needs to convey the emotion ... lesson learned.

Also some great answers from the Alumni Tutor that helped me pushed my pose. SOme great feedback and comments from my fellow classmates ... cant believe only 3 weeks away now to finish class one and i feel like in class 2 i get to venture in the big kids playground ... so exciting

2009-05-03T14:07:00.000-07:00

Here's my work for this week at AM

week 05 - special

2009-05-02T22:30:00.000-07:00

My mentor is on holidays for 2 weeks and we have a covering mentor and his name is T Dan Hofstedt .... most of us didnt know who he was until we discovered who he is ... really check his website and if you dont fall off your chair then ...well you must be immune to greatness

http://www.t-dan.com/

How would you feel growing up in total admiration of the great disney classic and then finally 'meeting' one of the great artist who worked and still working (T Dan is working on Princess and the Frog) on those masterpiece?

I'm in awe, total and absolute awe, being taught by people like T Dan is absolutely priceless. Being part of AM was the best decision I have ever made!!!

Are you devastated?? no its just week 05 -this week is devastation,

2009-05-01T12:41:00.001-07:00

for some reason its very easy to draw someone in pain ... look around you, men, women and children still suffering wars and poverty and famine, so its not just a pose, its what i see these days, its also an emotion i find myself painting or drawing over and over again ... maybe because when you see someone in pain and you want to reach out and help, thats when you feel you are human,, more than any other time when i feel like a ghost ..

I'm really excited and I'm like Sponge Bob (xcept of course I'm a girl), ready to absorb all the knowledge possible!!!

Anyway, but as is a custom of mine before starting anything major, I'm going on a trip to the North Coast far far far away from the stressfully city ... 4 days away, with beautiful landscape and the North fresh sea air .... cant wait ....

conversation with my CAT

2008-11-17T14:37:00.000-08:00

Here is my new project based on an article I recently read in a newspaper. Of course I'm gonna have to write and ask permission bla blabla ... but the idea is simple and funny.

The article brought back memories of the time I had conversation with my Cat when nobody was at home. The strangest thing I remember is telling my cat (while as usual he lies lazily on the sofa), about all my worries. he'd be looking at me and then suddenly he would just turn his head away and fall asleep, as if to say, "your worries are insignificant and really doesnt need much of my attention".

And actually that made me realise that of course, what I see as my troubles, is insignificant when I look around me (the wars, the poverty, the cruelty). And so I would just leave my cat to rest and go about my usual stuff ...

Today I wish I had a cat, being an unemployed animator, I do need a deaf ear to hear my worries ....

Here is the final version of 'The Story of Jack'. What changed? Well the editing is a bit cleaner, the title is done and shot 3 is properly animated. Once again great sound FX, so dont forget your headphones. I need to thanx Griet who modelled Jack based on the design I sent her, she did a great job with that and Serina, who despite being so busy was willing to help.

So this is The Story of Jack, dur: 1 min 30. Everything (except Jack modelling and sound FX) was done by me ;p

I really like Interface Design and this project is called Time Location and Control and its an interactive autobiography but also looks at how all my steps are being picked up by CCTV cams.

Nearly getting there I believe, it is still look flat to me but I'm geussing i need to paint the textures and add some particles to the light etc.

2008-04-25T04:26:00.000-07:00

I rendered the image but i find it easier to go into photoshop and tweak the image so that i know where i can add more lights and where i will have to paint the shadows!!
