Looking Closer

Fight

Hey all,

This is Ryan here. I’ve been away for awhile but now I’m back and looking forward to making some neat posts on this blog. I’m excited about the movies that people are making so keep up the good work!

I know a lot of people are interested in improving their animation, especially Stikfas which are a lot more difficult to animate. This is one of the coolest Stikfa animations I’ve ever seen – so make sure to check it out. This short was not made by us but I’m highlighting it as an example of some very creative animating and cinematography.

We really like the techniques that were used in the making of this movie. These include using LEGO pieces to clamp the Stikfas to the baseplate to keep them from moving during the filming.

It took quite awhile to make this short. Some of the shots are very complex and took a long time to animate just a few seconds. Patience and attention to details are the key to making an animation realistic.

If you want to see how it was made, check out Errol’s blog. There are some very interesting techniques and tools that he covers. http://errolsmovies.blogspot.com/

Hope everyone enjoys!
