| 1 | VideoRotoscope | My first ever rotoscoped animation. lackadaisical monster reading the paper. Pretty short, very happy with it. Going to extend this project to include some watercoloring and paint splatters. | 4/27/07 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | Videowalk cycle mistake | This is a mistake I made with my first walk cycle. It looks like it is somewhere between a sexy saunter and a robot walk. I followed maya foundations to a T despite the fact their character is a robot, and mine is not. I thought it was pretty funny lookin | 11/27/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | Progress in General | This podcast is an attempt to catch up on my updates for the last month that I haven't gotten around to. I go relatively in depth about paint effects and touch on some of the rigging and modeling I had been doing since I last updated. I also discussed my | 11/27/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 4 | VideoFilm1 Edit2 | This is an edit of my first film (shown earlier unedited) that I did in final cut. I attempted to fix some of the darkness with a brightness/contrast filter but failed miserably so I just put it back to its original colors. Unfortunately, when i was digit | 11/26/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 5 | VideoFilm 1 Movie Unedited | Basically, this is my first film ever/my first claymation ever.

| 7 | VideoVintage Animation | Last year's final project for Computer Animation 1, "Poo Poo Pile of Love." It's about a fly who finds his true love on garbage day. It made it into pixelnation 06'. Looking back it has a number of problems, but in the alloted amount of time I did the bes | 10/11/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 8 | VideoMovie of New Character Model | This is a 360˚ rotation of my new character. There are some issues with this model, including the texture on the boots. I believe the reflectivity got turned up accidently. The textures in general are just a rough idea of what they will be. | 10/11/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Very well done!
This is very nice work. The simplicity of it is essential to its genius. The clay-mation 'Head' film edit are awesome, and never cease to amaze me. I've always wondered how to fo the things you're able to do, so thank you for setting documents that are almost like tutorials for me. Even the simple hand animation of 'Rotoscope,' to the somewhat complex works of 'Poo Poo Pile of Love,' this podcast obviously screams beauty. GREAT WORK! 2 thumbs up! (I wish I had 5...)
