been neglecting blog duties

2012-01-29T19:32:00.000-08:00

because of this bbc series...

damn you sherlock

ttss-beggar man

2012-01-05T19:32:00.000-08:00

went back to toronto during the american christmas vacation, and saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with limster (thanks for putting up with me by the way lim)

and so i set out to read all of Le Carre's novels in the Smiley series

below is Smiley played by Gary Oldman in this cinematic version (dashing old gent), and my interpretation of him from the novel...

we also hung about the pretentiously hip starbucks neighbouring the cinema

HUGO, and a curious synchronicity

2011-12-20T23:32:00.000-08:00

HUGO [aka oliver twist for film history students], has everything i loooove to see in a film:
train station! giant clock tower! intricate mechanical devices! old toy-maker! kindly librarian! film projector!
and of course, nothing has more visual appeal, personally, than a little boy working among giant clockwork, surrounded by steam.
limlim said that i'd spazz out during this movie, and boy'e was right.

now, concerning synchronicity, about 3 years ago, my proposal for our group film was this:
"a little mechanic goes around winding up people's hearts (like winding a clock) and fixing broken hearts by finding the missing piece or part."

so...i was silently seizing and freaking out in the cinema today =_=
our profs in college always said "make the film you yourself want to see"
to this i add "or wait till someone else does a better job than you ever could and make you CRY" :')

about my film

2011-02-14T22:07:00.000-08:00

people often ask what the film is about, so here it is in a nutshell.

no time for humans!!!

2011-02-04T00:33:00.000-08:00

these are christmas-old studies of colin morgan's expressions, for a thing that i keep putting off...this stupidly adorable thing here nailed to my dash, saying "won't you animate me?" every time i pass by it...

actually, just finishing the film would be good. gahhh

in other news, "philosophy of life" is really starting to freak me out.

i make film

2011-01-17T21:26:00.000-08:00

victorian cast

2009-03-10T19:07:00.000-07:00

horray. done. i started planning the story and characters a month ago, but somehow still ended up doin' everything last minute =_= how the heck...anyways...

**************
1. Charles (after Darwin ^^ it was his 200 bday in February)the archeologist father who disguised his only daughter as a boy in order to educate her in the sciences.
He's so devoted to work that sometimes he forgets she's a girl, which often results in awkward situations...

***************
2. Main character, Trishia (not Trisha), lives her life as a guy to prove that WOMEN DO NOT HAVE SMALLER BRAINS dammit D8<

**********************
3. Angela, the villian, is kind of stupid... as in, Charles, on an odd day when he forgot that "Trevor" is actually Trishia, betrothed this woman to his daughter v_v;;
She's the kind of girl who thinks women oughta stay home and be a good, obedient wife, and she dislikes the complicated way in which "Trevor" talks. She also dismisses the lower classes as being stupid and brutish.

********************
4. Love interest. (yey...) Paul was picked up on the streets of London when he was little, because Charles wanted to conduct a Nature vs Nurture experiment in whic a lower class recieves a good education. He tags along on archeological expeditions with his benefactors and does feild sketches, carries the luggages, and other stuff. ...bookworm...

oh and he knows that the main character's a girl, because of a...uh, let's say, very "revealing" incident =_=

*************

gotta love Pete Emslie's comment:
"....the poses are working fine, but i still can't tell that the main character's a girl..........you just wanted to do a gay story didn't you?"

I'll skip posting the animal characters, marks aside, i just don't like how it came out =_=

Human Lipsync

2009-02-28T22:15:00.000-08:00

holy geebus i'm ALIVE! 8D
let's hope reading week doesn't prove to be quite deadly yet.

here's one i originally was gonna do, but abandoned after this pencil test...cus it reminded me of my teletoon stuff =_+;; guhhh!!! pisses me off

so i decided to go with something less wacky, haven't done an animation with such restricted movements before, 'tis great fun and i like how it turned out

*watch the book pages! really pround of the book pages xD

i can hear Mark Thurman hovering over my shoulder saying "that's a nice portrait" =_=

yey, just a few that i sneaked out of the park =_=
the thing is, i really don't care much about caricatures, and drawing for money, in such a DIRECT way, really pisses me off.

current happennings

2008-06-22T19:05:00.000-07:00

...where to start...
The internship is going well, doing some clean up and inbetween work on a short, and *maybe* some animation >_>;;
met Boris and Amanda there, though they had to leave (on my first day as intern too!) because the Kathleen lady from school said there's a policy change in the program, so intern hours done before 3rd year doesn't count anymore... (?!?!?!)

working 3 days at wonderland sure puts a tan on ya. though one day without rain would be nice =_= my caricatures are improving, slowly but surely. the style shift is still a great problem tho, can't seem to decide...

anyhow, i've been watching some anime on the side (it's summer after all). so 'm gonna rant a little....well ok, a lot.

first up is, of course, LIBRARY WAR! so GAR! it was nice to see that production IG did their research on the library system, they even got the labeling and shelving and current periodical placing correct ('m a nerd.)

a very passionate series, and not a "radio show with pictures" at all. i watched every episode raw and still understood most of what's going on from JUST the visuals and voice acting. Dialog is important (and sweet), but not vital. cute characters too. waiting for the last episode to come out, dying to find out what will happen.
what kind of story is it? why a love story of course, is there any other kind? (to quote my old English teacher)

the entertainment value's all in character development :)

concerning line quality in the first episode, it looked vaguely familiar...

the other ones are opening and endings though, and mostly heldcels. libwars animated with those lines @_@

next up, Kurenai. it just finished it's last episode. the animation is.......strange looking, never seen that style of timing before O_o
2nd favourite of the season. only 12 episodes, short and sweet :3
sometimes very moving too, but i'm easily moved xD

...i want that soundtrack!

caught up and finished Seirei no moribito. had it downloaded for a year and forgot...
another production IG series, from 2007. has the most beautifully done backgrounds ever for tv production (or movies for that mater). a very expensive-looking project.

watched a series by IG again, from 2004. Otogi Zoshi, nooooooooo idea what that means, but the 2nd opening was so cool that i watched the whole thing cus of it >_>;;

there's lipsynch in the middle at 0:19! freaky and awesome at the same time xD

ah and recently i've realized that the 3 heroines i admire the most are all tombois o_o;; and they all look alike...

from left to right, Iku from libwars; Haruhi from Ouran; and Hitomi from Escaflowne.

anyhow, doin' this was fun and relaxing on a sunday night :)

Here's what i've managed to squeeze out from my little freetime between the dayjob and the weekend job =_=;; i'm eveb more sleep deprived than during the school year...

no time to draw!!! looks like i won't be finishing my sketchbook quota for this summer, but thankfully the dreaded dayjob ends next week and i'll be switching to internship at Chuck's (YA!!!)
that means 3 full days of animation, and 3 full days of caricature each week! weeeeeeee~~~~~
(also looking forward to that 1 full day of rest per week)

this is a theme i'm working on for my current idea for a 4th year film (yea right prolly gonna look nothing like this by then)

btw, no ref used

Flash Back! GW animation ^^;

2008-05-06T23:51:00.000-07:00

as in, back to using Flash...
felt like animating, and for some reason summer seem to equate to anime in my mind 8D
I didn't wanna screw up a well-animated series, so i chose this sort of half-assed anime =3=;;

the full animation's uploaded to this >link<

here's a breakdown of the frames, definitely some awkward poses and anatomical errors, and quite a freaky ending =_=;;

edit rough and inked animation

2008-01-08T19:54:00.000-08:00

EDIT: did a re-shoot, also adjusted the contrast 'n stuff. now it's all clean lookin'!

Agnes: i fixed the timing on the head and arm :3 thanks for pointing that out (i was bein' lazy and needed that whip xD )

*edit* here's the inked one, with felt tip pen. something is lost when the roughs are inked, but i guess it's like growing up, indeed, we all lose something...

i dunno if i should colour it frame by frame with markers, or do the digital compositing in photoshop. deliberating...deliberating...
