Ruff Hug

acting class: interaction hug from edith bach on Vimeo.

Rough animation of Kala from Tarzan hugging Hogarth from Iron Giant. OK you can't see that it is Hogarth but he is so difficult to draw and i didn't want to spend too much time making him look right before I'd got the animation right.

England, summer of 2010

Last summer I went to London, met some interesting people..

Who had some interesting idea's ..

Some wanted a tattoo

And I got this annoying song in my head for days. My buddy and I did NOT approve..

Obviously.

But all in all a pretty awesome trip. I'm going back there.

Random glimpse into the past is caused  by my findings of the sketchbook. It was hiding you see.

Inbetweening week one.
We were given the extremes and breakdowns for this wonderful scene from the movie "Secrets of Kells", which you really should see if you haven't. It's an experience for the senses .. well for me anyways.
Back on track, the assignment was to inbetween this scene, and it fast became really clear that this was a hard one, so i prioritized making at least one inbetween between each keyframe, but making them right.

I've spend soooo much time on each drawing, I'm usually faster. Guess it's because I had to think a lot, which I'm not too familiar with while drawing. I got really into this. I really enjoyed it because it was almost hypnotizing, but at the same time it was really draining. And there's still a lot of mistakes, but certainly less than there would be than if I went for finishing instead of getting it right. I'm pretty satisfied with how this went. I got to try some new things <3
