Behold!

I was quite fed up with the outdated graphics on my blog, so I spend a few hours yesterday doing a new glorious design.

R.I.P you old rascal...

Celebrating with guns...

This weekend 2 major things happened: 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 30 years since the rise of my beautiful sister. Sis celebrated it by throwing a gangster party at my parents place. For the napkins I drew half a hundred individual tiny guns for the dining gangsters. These I found left on the floor after the dust settled and the dusk arrived:


And these are my parents: Tuts and Scarface on the stairs of a glorious Evening...

Yet another small test...

I am kicking off my new pet project this week. A project called the Animation Tag attack. I will make between 5 and 15 seconds of film/animation, and afterward I will be passing it on to the ever so talented Mads Juul and Andreas Normand Grøntved - the idea is to get the ball rolling and pass it on to the heroes and foes outthere and see where it takes the movie. You can follow the progress on the pet project blog: www.animationtagattack.blogspot.com...

I went to the studio today to do a small test for my little snippet of film...

This rig was made for walking...

I spend a great deal of yesterday with tracking marks on my face to see if I could recreate a 3D effect using only 2D layers and the After effects Puppet Tool. I will post more on that later.

Then about an hour ago I stumbled across BioMotionLab's walk simulator. And just for the heck of it, I took one of my previously made stop-motion characters and rigged it to trace the joints of the Biomotionwalk dummy. This is the result of about 20 minutes of work. Pretty quick and dirty, but I think especially the torso takes well to the small 3d twists of the BMW-rig. And now if you'll excuse me, I have a Halloween party to attend to...

The wood I found and the eyes I drew...

I am happy here at home...
