Hello,
Since i finised my work experience at Signal Films I have been teaching myself some more maya. I have been concentrating on character design as this is what really interests me. I would love to learn how to animate better but some aspects of that still baffle me. I know how to rig a character but how to do it correctly i’m not sure about. Anyway here are some stills from things i’ve been working on, some are incomplete.
I’m hoping to put in a full skeleton into this little geek boy. Then hopefully get a nice smooth animation sequence out of him. I’ve got an idea for his character and a small story idea. I just need to figure out the rigging in more depth.
Anyway happy browsing, more writings soon. I’m off to leeds festival tomorrow, exciting times.

Today i went to see avatar, i loved it. I thought that i would enjoy it because science fiction films are some of my favorite, but i didn’t realise how much i would enjoy it. After the film had finished i was worn out because it felt like i had actually experienced the events in the film. The beautiful worlds accompanied by the special effects were truly amazing. What i found most enjoyable were the characters especially the daughter of the Navi tribe leader (Neytiri). I cried many times seeing her reaction and the emotion in her face. Anyway i really enjoyed it. Later today i also watched a documentary surrounding the mystery that is the shroud of turin. After the documentary it got me thinking and i haven’t mentioned this before but I’m quite a believer in “aliens” (not that the shroud and the aliens are linked). All mysteries of the universe interest me but my favorite has to be the question of whether or not we are alone in the universe, or whether there is something more. I have to admit that one of my hobbies if it can be called one is to search the internet for more evidence that “aliens” do exist. I have been particularly interested in the possibility that in 2012 plans could be revealed to us. Now when you read this you can think that i might have gone crazy from eating too much christmas cake, but its just a thought.
I am still working on some scripts and ideas for films (i have quite afew). I’m trying to decide which one i should write first. I have started writing one script for an idea that only just came to me.
Anyway, thank you for reading my babbles whoever is reading.
