We have a lot of fun on the job, but some times things get heated and then we have to do some creative problem solving.
If you are around the Tribeca Film Festival on Tuesday night (4/24) come on down to the intersection of Hudson and Worth and check out some animation that I (and five other animators) did. It’s going to be projected 100ft tall on the side of a building and it’ll be looping from dusk to midnight! Look for the white building next to a parking lot. Above are some stills from what I threw together in the last week.
Last week I got a nice surprise when I was asked to be part of a projection show that will run concurrently with the Tribeca Film Festival. From what I understand, I’ll be one of five animators who will be mapping animations onto the side of a 100 foot high building. The projection will be fit perfectly to the shape of the building, which presents me with an interesting and nonconventional aspect ratio as well as the challenge of working around the windows in the building (which will not show any projection.) I’m currently working on some different ways of “filling up” a building and here are some test renders from tonight!
These two guys are work-in-progress characters for a new freelance project I just started. More to come soon!
When a co-worker of ours went on vacation and left his Facebook account logged in, Patrick and I decided to have some fun with his profile pictures.
To see what we did with his banner images, check out the post here.
I’ve been booked on a long gig for about a month so far (with a couple months to go) and it hasn’t allowed for too much free time to work on pet projects. That all changed this week when one of the animators went on vacation and left his Facebook profile logged in on his computer. Upon discovering this, Patrick and I decided to have some fun with his photos. We didn’t want to post anything malicious, but we did want to have an impact and slowly take over his profile. We started with the original photo of John standing in front of some mountains and a lake. What followed was a fun game that somewhat resembled Layer Tennis and gave us a new creative outlet for a little bit of each day.
