My Nov "11 Second Club" Entry - Finished Animation

... And here's the final animation (with simple lighting and rendered with Mental Ray Final Gather). I sometimes find myself "overanimating", so for this competition, instead of lots of big, crazy poses and gestures, I tried to narrow things down and use smaller secondary actions to carry the animation along. However, I just couldn't help myself and had to put in something over the top for the ending "whooooa". Enjoy!

My Nov "11 Second Club" Entry - Blocking

This month's audio clip was a lot of fun. I tried to keep my poses simple and easy to read. Here's the blocking.

I Thought...

Here is a recent little animation I did for the 11 Second Club October competition. Voting is taking place during the next 4 days. I find the club is a great way to stay active in the animation community in between jobs. It’s also a great way to practice and experiment with new techniques and styles. Rather than winning, I am more interested in improving my skills as an animator and getting some constructive feedback. Hurray for the 11 Second Club!!
