Running from the cops

video

This is a little personal project I've been working for the past 2-3 days. I wanted to do a little action sequence with some room for acting. It's not finished yet and I'm planning a couple of extra shots. Not sure about the fate of the character, though. I think he might not make it through the end.

Update: I've altered the animation a bit, so I decided to post the updated version.

Updated Resume

After a very productive 3-month contract with Image Engine, I'm already looking for my next project. I thought this might be a good time to update my resume, so here it is.

My MEL Scripts

I've been doing a few MEL scripts every now and then and I decided to make a video about these tools. Some are very simple and others are a little more complicated, but they were all made to help me animate easier and faster. My favorite ones are the Interactive Motion Trail tool (which is built upon Cameron Fielding's original Motion Trail script) and the Mirror Pose tool (works great on walk cycles).

To see it a little more clearly download the Quick Time file here.
The scripts can be found here. Read the scripts for information on how to use them properly.
Please do not distribute those. They are intended for private use only and at your own risk. Some scripts have to be sourced, then ran from the MEL command line. I also added the icons I use on my shelf buttons.

Cheers
