Acting for Animators

An interesting video from Animation Mentor about delving into a character, thought I might share.

Some sketches from ROM

Went to the Royal Ontario Museum a couple weeks ago, got a few drawings I kinda liked.

New Video!

Yeah, it's late. Really late. Sorry about that, this one was a strange one because of all the problems we had and generally how much effort it took. We really hope you enjoy it, my friend is still learning and getting used to blender but we'll try our best to release videos consistently.

Some Drawings

To prepare for animation school I've been taking a life drawing/drawing for animation class in Toronto. I've doodled cartoons for a while now but barely ever did any life drawing, and I just thought I'd share some stuff. Click read more at the bottom for the rest.

Model drawing (farther away stuff is darker)

Quick character

(Don) Drapery study

It's almost there

Yeah, I know I said video by the end of June, and I probably shouldn't make those assumptions anymore :| We're working really hard on it though, here are some screenshots (you might remember it from last year):

Since I'm teaching my friend at the same time that might be why it's taking longer than I thought, but he's adapting quickly. And yes that's a pig on the ceiling.

Partnership with Node

We're almost at the point where we (James and I) can start working on more videos, and coincidentally we've just partnered up with Node in the last few days. This means our videos will be mostly on our channel from now on (though we might still make something for Machinima from time to time), and with school out of the way, it also means that we're actually going to make a video a month now. Expect the first video by the end of June!

More Animations On The Way!

Hey VMComix fans!

I'm Fishy956, or James for short, and I'm here to bring some good news! Vlad (VMComix) and I are very close to finishing our grade 12 year at high school and this means that we will have much more time to put into making videos. I am also going to get a new desktop soon that isn't from the 90's so that both Vlad and I can work on one animation at the same time which will make the process much faster. I am planning on getting the new computer by the beginning of June so that is likely when our animation collaboration will begin.

For those of you who don't know me, I am Vlad's good friend from school. We have been in two animation courses together and a filming course or two. While he may be the bulk of the talent, I have helped with a few animations such as, "Steve: Thinking Differently", "Steve: Fishing Trip", and a few other projects that haven't been posted on Youtube. My channel is really bad, especially when compared to Vlad's, but if you are curious here it is:

If you have been craving some new videos then have no fear! New videos will be on the way soon!

Thanks,
