Hi! Here is my “final” shot for the @gfanimate is still just a pencil test full of details in need of correction but is as far as I can make because I’ll be moving abroad to study next week  (≧ω≦) Hope you can still enjoy it this way. Wish I had more time to work on it but still learned a lot in the process

Here is some pregress of my shot for the @gfanimate

Just a rough pencil test triyng to find the perfect main poses and the right timing.

Getting ready for the @gfanimate

Made some sketches of the characters to make them fit into my art style

This year I decided to do more sketches based on books I read as an imagination exercise and as a way of relaxing. Here are Lal, Nyateneri and Lukasa from The Innkeeper’s Song by Peter S. Beagle, the first novel of the year

Last drawing of 2017, first post of 2018… I grew up watching Dragon Ball and remember spending long afternoons drawing its characters and learning from it, all of them but one… so here is her fifteen years later and thanks to the character design challenge theme of this month: my paper cut Bulma. I have always loved how she services the story in motion when looking for the dragon balls for the first time.

I need to save this for later

Animation Effects: How They Created the Snowflakes in Fantasia

Herman Schultheis was an effects animator who worked on Fantasia. He kept a tight record of the effects they were creating from 1938-1941, and a photo display of how they were done.

Schultheis disappeared in 1954 while trekking through Central America, and the notebook was forgotten until his wife’s death in the early 1990s, after which it was discovered behind the couple’s bedroom wall. In 2014, Disney released this hallowed tome, this book of magic spells for aspiring animators as The Lost Notebook: Herman Schultheis & the Secrets of Walt Disney’s Movie Magic. It is AWESOME.

Shown above are a few of the steps Disney’s animation effects artists used to create those hypnotic spinning snowflakes.

Pics 1 + 2: The Ink and Paint Department traced scientific diagrams of real snowflakes onto a material slightly heavier that regular animation cels, then used a translucent white paint to fill them in.

Pic 3: The snowflakes were then cut out and attached to spinning gears.

Pic 4: The gears were affixed to wire ‘guide tracks’ (almost like toy train tracks) that mapped the snowflakes’ path of action.

Pic 5: Sheets of black velvet were used to hide the tracks from the animation camera.

Pic 6: The snowflakes were then filmed one frame at a time – stop-motion style – as they spun on their gears, ‘descending’ down the wire guide tracks.

Pics 7-9: The film footage of the snowflakes was then ‘burned’ over the multiplane background, where it was matched with the 2D animated fairies.

Voilà – movie magic!

Special thanks to MichaelSpornAnimation.com and D23.com for some of the pics and text.
