The Hindu newspaper has reached million likes in facebook. They wanted an promo ad for celebrating the million followers on Facebook.

I was involved in the idea and concept development and I was responsible for the layout, camera animation, and some character animations.

3hrs Animation Practice !!

After a long gap I am updating my blog.

Recently i have done an animation with a simple dance concept and I have decided to finish it off just in 3 hrs. So u can find some weird poses and no proper ending :P

And here it is..

I mainly concentrated on the timing. I really wanted to do this animation in a cartoony style.

Check it out and share your valuable comments. I always respect it !!

Cheers & Happy Animating !!

Scorpion Bot- Animation test

This is an animation R&D done in 4Triangles studios. 

I animated the scorpion..It is completely key frame animation.

This character is modeled by Russ Schwenkler and rigged by Kyle Wood and u can download this character here.

Framepool  helped me lot in studying about the characteristics of the scorpion.

130 frames of adventure !!

Hey there fella animators stalking my blog !!

Recently I have decided to work on a body mechanics animation and I hav decided to blog it from the start to end. So here it is the blocking I have done.

I am so aware to keep the animation less than 130 frms. So i have decided to do a simple concept about a guy in a bus stop. I know the bus stop is a cliche idea but i have never done it before :P

Happy animating. ...

Shark Animation Test

People pet dogs and cats, but we do Sharks !! :P

This is a small live-cg animation/simulation test. The original idea was by my friend Mohammed Abdulla, as u can find him on the video feeding the sharks :P is the one who did the water simulation in Realflow.

I rigged the shark model and animated it..Its completely key frame animation.

Took few references from the Youtube which helped me a lot to study about the movements of the Shark.

This is the breakdown of the shark animation/simulation test project which u found above.

Lighting/ shading is done by my friend Anish Sreedhar, Composting is done by Andrew Dcrus.
