Ralph Eggleston visit AAU

Yesterday, Animation department got a visit from Ralph Eggleston, the Production Design of PIXAR :D (http://www.pixartalk.com/pixarians/ralph-eggleston/). It was so fun & useful! he gaves us lots of information about working as Visual Development artist. Here are some notes that I wrote down from the presentation:

What is the differences between LIVE ACTION & CGI Feature Film?

- no "shooting"script

- storyreels

- nothing is free

- design process lasts entire length of production

- we have to design our actors!

When we CREATING A WORLD, Keep This in Mind:

- BELIEVEABILITY

- CARICATURE

- APPEAL 

(we have to deal with these when we design)

Environment Design: 

- Design an environment that fits into the character,

- Think about How Long it takes for the character to get there

Create a Strong Visual Information that would be remembered by the viewer.

Remember: "Understand what the lead artist wants to do, so that I can expand my design!"

Clothe Figure Drawing

Today I manage my portfolio for my Midpoint Review. Glad that I have time to do this...and here is my work for Clothe Fig.Drawing class in 2008.

Getting ready for bunch of great stuff

fuuh, I feel released. Today I met with Sherie Sinclair to show her my work progress throughout semester, and she gave me positive respond, Thank God :D. I was kind of nervous because I feel there is no enough works I can show, but the result showed the opposite :). so now I feel encouraged!
Now I have to prepare for my midpoint review, digital artist awards competition, church...it's gonna be Fun, but busy!! O God, give me strength to finish everything strong :D.

Figure drawing...here I come again...

Drawing from Figure studio workshop

I did this drawing for a friend of mine, Olivia. We were watching StarTrek Premiere together, and she laughed when she saw Captain Spark because of his short hair bang... it reminds her of her hair cut before. Since she asked me to draw for her, then I used that idea of Captain Spark for this drawing.

Layout

Layout Class : Antique Guitar Store

Initial sketches & idea : the composition of the room comes from the thumbnail, then it's developed using multiple layers of tracing papers. I expand the right side of the store.

Final Drawing : drawn on 2 pieces of tracing paper, then composited using Photoshop

Layout Class: San Francisco Cable Car Cupcake Shop

Visual Elements of Story : Narnia

Visual Elements of Story : Narnia, The Stone Table

Old Stuff

Today I'm looking back at my drawings I did for my final project last year "Two of a Kind", and I found these pieces. I like them :), so I'm playing around with it in photoshop.

Demo reel do's & don'ts

I watched a video about "Demo reel dos and don'ts", and I'm reminded that when we send our portfolio out to animation studio or game studio, make sure that the content of our reel also suits with the type or character of that studio. So, the idea of sending the same reel to 5 different kind of studios won't be a good idea.

Second thing that I learnt is, it will be great if we put artistic touch to the content of our reel.

I just finished watched the 1st part of the video today. The link is here :http://www.animationmentor.com/webinar/replay/20080709carlos/carlos1.html

This is the evening version of the illustration for snapshot I've done before. It illustrates the situation and condition in jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia.
