Portfolio 2009

Here's a montage of some of my best models and animation sequences. For more information on the project
This is Scarecrow from the Tin Woodman of Oz movie. Here I animate him exasperated at another character.

The Revenge of Red Riding Hood:
This is yet to be completed. I built the Grannys house which can be seen at this link:

Chicory and Coffee:
A short about a marriage set in the early twentieth century. I did some animation and made several models for this.

Tinwoodman of Oz:
I worked on this feature film for much of my free time. I made many models, "layed out" many shots, did most of the facial rigging and also did
the most animation including cleanup. A very educational experience. It was produced by Martin Hash who also created the 3D software Animation Master

Current Project......I've just started helping out on this collaboration project but I'm excited by it. A lot of potential here. It's called The Wannabe Pirates:

Shot by shot description:
Here's a T-Rex I modelled. Detailing was done in Zbrush 3.1.

A concept Tinman I created for the Tin Woodman of Oz movie which wasn't used in the end.

A character the group meet in the Tin Woodman of Oz movie. All my animation work.

I'm fond of Maggot from Zombie Hotel and so I decided to have a go at modelling her in 3D.

Tin owl (formerly Tinman) tries to lift the spirit of another character. This is all my animation work.

Scare bear (formerly Scarecrow) tries to console but ends up complaining as usual. All my own animation work. I also modelled this character.

A character I modelled for a mascot contest in which it came first place.

The twins fight in a sequence from the award winning short Chicory and Coffee by Bugbrain. Here, all the animation was completed by myself.

Here's Tinman. In this shot, I animated him joking with Scarecrow who's smart, but not very courageous.

In this final end screen image, you can see the house model I created for the short The Revenge of Red Riding Hood.

Finally, thanks to all those who also lent their talents to create the animation sequences. Credits can be found in the above links.

Ah, so you were doing projects for Hash Inc with A:M?

[kenhes]

That's right. I helped them out with their feature film "The Tin woodman of Oz".

[Mintish]

So did you actually work in their studio or did you basically do everything from elsewhere then send it their way for rendering?

Also, is A:M pretty straightforward and easy to work with?

[kenhes]

It was a worldwide project so there was no studio to go to! :)

AM is great for animating especially. It has a few niggles in other areas, but nothing too bad. It's definitely worth the price.

[Spleengene]

awesome



[Spleengene]

great stuff Ken!

There actually was a studio. My good friend Heather worked there. However, like you said, it was world wide. As a result, most people did their work in the same fashion as you. Only a small handful actually worked at the studio.
