Kenny Roy's Workflow Lecture
Kenny Roy just released his latest lecture and I'm just that it is as good as the previous ones. Students and workshop takers often ask about workflow, so this latest 100 minute lecture should be of great value. To stay up to date, you can also follow Kenny Roy's Twitter.
Blur Studio - Meet the Pixar of Video Games
Kotaku has a cool post called "Meet the Pixar of Video Games" about Blur Studio and their awesome trailer work. Love their Star Wars trailers (cough "FEATURE" cough). Great read, check it out!

New Tangled Trailer
First this one. Looks great, but I'm still not a big fan of the music choices...
This trailer on the other hand is awesome:
All in all, can't wait for the movie!

Good Bot, Bad Bot
Funny short by Marcus Ng and Nick Matthews. Is that a little CSI reference at the end? :)

Kenny Roy's Animation Lectures
Head over to Kenny Roy's site and check out the lectures he's offering! There is "Cartoony", "Contact" and my favorite "Secondary". They are all good but I really liked the "Secondary" lecture. There's a lot of food for thought in that one but I would recommend all of them.

Dying - Animation
See post update below!
Another exercise (following Here and there, Collision Alarm and No no no clip). This time the focus was on gear changes and more subtle acting. The clip is very long but the actual audio was even longer. So edited it together a bit so that there is this gradual emotional shift throughout the shot.
- The rig is again by Nino Aniceto. Thanks a lot!
- Audio is edited together from an episode of "24"
- used Maya 9
- time spent on clip: 3 days (3x 10 hours days - spread out over a week or so with an hour here, an hour there and week-end work)
- acted shot out, shot reference, initial blocking in linear keys for both characters at the same time
- quicktime and youtube version
UPDATE!
And here, for those who are interested, more info on the shot.
First the compilation of reference footage that I kept. Be warned for some naked shoulder action here. It was a hot day. :)
With that as a starting point I started to block out the shot. This is the version I sent out to fellow animators for the first round of feedback. It's very rough, but the ideas are in place.
And if you want to see the whole progression, and it's very boring towards the end as I go through detail stuff (the clip is over 13mins long, 130MB), then continue on below. It's a compilation of each major maya file that I saved. Some versions I skipped because I didn't see any difference (must have been some backup saves), but otherwise it's there from finish to the end.
