Tinman

Been a while since I've been wanting to update this blog! I guess it is time :)

I've been working with great people at Tinman Creative for a few months now. They are awesome! I had the chance to contribute with them to this awesome music video for the band All Time Low.


I did the "band playing stuff", and some walk cycles.

I hope you like it! :)

Random sketch cuz bored -__-

Still trying to win against watercolor

 Still trying still trying! It's better than it used to be! So I'll keep up!

Doodlanimation in a coffee shop - EDITED!!!

I am still working on that animation. Here is a finished first version of it. A nice animator from Montreal city gave me great advices on how to improve it, so you should see another version soon. Feel free to comment! Desynchronizing when she settles, fixing the dragging hair and feathers, adding some betweens, and some other things.

Also, first clean up work in TV Paint! Gosh I love this software!! So glad I bought this thing.

I brought with me a peg bar and some animation paper when I left home to the coffee shop. I love my work station at home, but I needed to change the scenery a little bit.

Don't ask me what is what and why she has some sort of ghostly tail instead of legs. I was just doodling around and flipping stuff and didn't really planned anything. It was a really enjoyable experience and will do it again.

I inbetweened it with Flash just to have a quick idea of the timing. I haven't decided yet how I will clean up everything.

If you have any comment or suggestion, feel free to tell. At this stage, it's easy to improve stuff.

Sketchbook 2012 part 2

I am still trying to figure out the right butt curve for this little lady here. I'd like to practice my animation skills on one of my own design for a change ;) So once her design is settled, you might see her moving around sometimes.

The other sketches are juste random ones I thought deserved to be shown here.
Enjoy!!

Sketchbook 2012 part 1

Here is part of my sketchbook 2012. Maybe you noticed there was almost no sketchbook entry for 2011. 2011 has bee a tough year for me and I had to take a break of many things to heal my mind. Now I feel like I am rediscovering the pleasure of drawing for myself, which didn't happen for a long time.

But this is past now. It feels like I'm healed and I am filling pages and pages of sketchbook again! More to come soon. :)

Le Magasin des Suicides

Hi! I've been gone for several months. It's habit of me. And this time the reason is I was involved in the animation of the French feature film Magasin des Suicides (Suicide Shop). It was a great experience. A long 6 months of hard work, lot's of new things learned. I can't show any of my work before the theatrical release (16th of May), but here's a short trailer. One of my animation is featured there, the hands typing on the cash machine. :) So short! But more to show in May 2012!!
