Heroe's Comeback

I've been to some of my friends blogs and apparently.. they do a lot of writing... so maybe there is a rule that blogs need to have some amount of text. so this post has slightly more text than the all the other ones
who knows i might just break the internet, if i don t put text in my blog.. and i don't want to be responsible for that.. so here goes.

I love to watch the opening theme s of anime. They are like animated music videos, and many of them have great animation as well as motion graphics in them, Fantastic editing, And sometimes great music. ... theres a lot to learn from watching just the opening of an anime series.

they seem to spend a lot of time setting up the animation and effect for some sequences.
The above opening is an excellent example. its one of the opening to Naruto.

At some point i really want to animate a mock opening sequence.

the second pass on the jump. there was something wrong with the timing in the first one. also added abit more zing bang.. there s a last stage now...

RASENGAN!

another one of my anime inspired animations. you d know what the title means if you watch Naruto.

i really regret not having a background in fine arts, because.. animating in two d is really difficult. or maybe its just really difficult for me. And though i am a three d animator, i keep practicing my two d skills.

Anime

what i really like about anime is how effectively they use minimalistic animation. this exrecise is just an attempt to see how little animation is really needed to make convincing movement.
