Wow very nice looking models. Their textures looked amasing!
The bears were cute, yet funny.
Animation was very clear and direct making all the animations look very nice!

Hi Matt,

A fantastic reel, but then that's no surprise.

I was wondering, do you use much reference for your animating, videoing yourself etc.?


Cheers

Hi guys


Thanks for the comments.

Blowtourch - Regarding reference i don't do much acting out around the office. I tend to run the audio over and over on my pc while staring at the character and imagine it performing different motions, then make some thumbnails. I might do a bit of acting out but this is usually done in the privacy of the bathroom.
Any thing i do outside the day job (the bears and the guy dancing at the end) is animated straight ahead.No planning. Its my fave way to work - Just sitting down and having a manic few hours letting it all flow. It doesn't always work animating this way but its the most fun i think.

Cheers

Haha, I love supprise animation. Especially when there's a glitch on a curve or a constraint and you think "wait, this shit works!". Animating straight ahead is nasty, and you're crazy for liking it, but the results are awesome so who's complaining :)

Keep it up!

When working on a 'proper' job planning is essential and something i have to force myself to do.
Most of my personal bits and bobs start of with me making a simple shape in the pc and then freestyling from there. The Bears started of while listening to Ricky Gervais on the radio and i made a couple of spheres, linked em together and stuck some eyes and arms on. It was the quickest way to get what i was thinking onto the screen and it went from being an idea to an almost complete anim in a day.
The Bears existed as spheres with ears until MTV showed an interest in making a series and mattclark (http://matt-clark.co.uk/) got involved to give me a hand. He tweaked the face, gave em fur and did all that complicated rendering stuff.
