Hi there! I've been browsin thru vimeo and i stumbled upon some awesome animated short films. I'm really inspired i want to create one but the problem is that im not good in writing. Story is always the priority when it comes to short films. I want to join Animahenasyon 2011 but since im not a student already i have to join the pro category which is tough. Anyways, i just posted my first ever (and perhaps, the last) short film i made in 3d using Maya. This was my final requirement for my 3d class and im happy to finish it on my own. I think i'm the only one who finished the project.hehe. The story may be familiar to some since it was inspired by an email comic strip which i read years ago. I hope that I can develop my 3d skills in the future and someday be able to do another short film like this. So here's my flick titled "Chibog's Life".



I know its amateurish but i hope you liked it! It would be my pleasure to hear feedbacks,critics and comments :D Thanks to my 3d mentor Sir Tookie for all the knowledge!

Natotopak ako kaya gusto kong mag-blog! I just came from the opening program of Animahenasyon at the Gateway, Araneta Center. I met a couple of well-known people in the animation industry during the exclusive event. I met Pocholo the "Voice Master", the voice talent behind so many characters in tv and movies. He even gave us a sample of his voices like the one in the hotdog advertisement. He was the voice behind the puppets and the voice over. I also met the founder of the Animation Council of the Philippines Institute (ACPI), Ms. Grace Dimaranan and the program organizer of Animahenasyon, Michael Ko (see the photo above). I also saw Mr. Edwin of Cutting Edge whom I met when he went to Zamboanga. We had cocktails at the Cinema lobby followed by the Opening films. The first is "Ligtas Likas" a short film about environmental protection. The other is one of the 7 part documentary about Philippine Animation produced by Tuldok Animation and which will be released next year. It was inspiring watching the films and meeting people.

Anyways, aside from the opening program we also went to ADMU and front of PBB house. ^^,

I want to share this slide that i used during my Flash seminar last April 27-30, 2009 at WMSU. Since my topic is about flash animation and interactivity, I started off with the 12 principles of animation. The 12 principles are a set of principles of animation introduced by the Disney animators Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas in their 1981 book The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation. It is considered the 'bible of animation' because it can be applied in both traditional and digital animation.
