Vicious Cycle by Michael Marczewski

 Tragic commentary on society, with superb computer animation and good basic storytelling.

PreVis Class at Studio Arts

Incredible class I took from Brian Pohl at Studio Arts. 

Brian was a PreVis supervisor at Persistence of Vision studios.

It was a bear using Maya, After Effects, and a little bit of Photoshop. Plus, just coming up with the idea, storyboards and  timing for the chase. In other words, generating content while mastering two software packages. But you can see the result.

Simple Chase with Two Primitive Characters

Here is a frame from a simple chase I made at Friedman 3D (now Studio Arts). My plot was about a cookie that escaped from a cookie jar, and how the jar chased the cookie in order to recapture him. I animated a bounce for both characters.
