Formula 1 Opening Sequence 2011

For this year's F1 racing Opening Sequence, we decided to take a trip on the interaction between man and machine. It is actually a tough debate when one argue that these days it is hard to notice where one ends the other begins. Enjoy!

Sketch, sketch...

This guy is externalizing some issues of his...

Surprise!!!

What would happen if a building went out to the beach for holidays... even they need a break... :)


Some characters, they're good people...

IAnimate WS3 - 1st Assignment - Just a little funny...

This is my first assignmet for IAnimate's WORK SHOP 3

MAIS SKETCHES

Toda vez que eu acordo com uma puta ressaca eu penso nesse desenho aqui. Existe alguma representação melhor para ressaca do que uma bomba atômica explodindo na sua cabeça?! hehe...

Um Robô com uns bichinhos dentro... talvez numa parada pra fazer um pips?...


Uma onda com personalidade!

IAnimate Workshop 2 Progress Reel

Ok, so this is my Workshop 2 progress reel. Feel free to fire away withs crits, as I´ll try to give it a little polish over the break. Cheers!!!

F1 - 2010 Opening Sequence

Last year´s F1 Opening Sequence. We decided to go RETRO on this one to celebrate F1´s 60th birthday. Feel like doing the twist?

1st set of 2D juice

Some characters, I kinda like them...

Just, you know, a cubic kinda cube, melting...

2D AREA

From now on, there will be a 2D section for guess what (? :/), 2D work!!! I bought this super cheap sketch book 1 year ago and have been having some fun with it. I mean, I´m not much of a drawer, but who cares right? In the end, one would hopefully find something attractive!

IAnimate - Workshop 2 - 2nd Assignment

OK, it´s time for the sneak! In this assignment the goal was to paractice overlapping action. The render is still not final but I can live with it. Please, tell me what you think. Cheers!!!

IAnimate - Workshop 2 - 1st assignment

As I mentioned earlier, I started a advanced character animation school called IAnimate. This is the first assignment, a walk back and forth with a atitude. What do you think? Can you feel this guy´s vibe? I´m still open to crits...

Cheers!!!

Hello, Hello!!!

WOW!!!!! Time goes by pretty freaking fast!!! IT´s been nearly an year since I posted anything in here... A lot has happened since then: New home, got married (legally at least...) and professionaly speaking it has been quite a ride. Apart from that I´ve been learning Softimage´s ICE which is a super cool and have done a "micro-shortflim" to have some fun with it. It will be up once sound is finished.
Also, recently I was accepted for the Advanced Character Animation School "IAnimate" and I have to say it was the right decision to make when it comes to animation training. To keep it short, amazing instruction material, amazing teachers and a very very good online system. I just don´t know how Jason Ryan (the school´s owner and Supervisor at Dreamworks) does to manage his time...
Finally, I did some exploring in the 2d realm, training anatomy, character designs and of course some trippy stuff... Hopefully it´s appreciated by someone. Stay tuned for the following posts!!! Cheers!!!

P.S. Still haven´t got the Iphone, I´m a little behind on that one :)
