Retro Motion Graphics : Brain Wave!

Brain Wave : Motion Graphics from Narfnarf on Vimeo.

Here's a little motion graphics piece I just finished. I'm pretty happy with it. Its supposed to be like something you would have seen on British TV in the 80's, creepy but fun. I found a retro graphics tutorial on http://ae.tutsplus.com/ and decided to add a bit more on to it. I created the synth music with Reason, great program.

Bye for now Eggheads!

Motion Graphics - Modern Monkey

Modern Monkey - a 5 second Project from Narfnarf on Vimeo.

This is a short piece of animation/design I did for GreyScaleGorilla.com's 'Five second projects' which run every couple of weeks. This weeks theme was 'Modern Monkey' and this is what I came up with. It was a good exercise in speeding up your work habits. Mostly done in After Effects, Maya and Photoshop.

Thanks

Almost ready!

Ok, its the last day of august so I gotta stick something up here. Well, its just the 3D layout from my next short animation. I'm also taking part in the 5 second project on GreyScaleGorilla, the theme this week is Modern Monkey, (Great excuse to put a wig and a pair of pants on a monkey) it has to be finished by the 7th of september so I will have my entry up over the next couple of days here. What will I do? I'm on it.

New Character Animation Work

Sneaking Walk Cycle - by Fran Power from Narfnarf on Vimeo.

Hello again, well this month I've been plodding my way through Maya 3D, its been a mix of satisfaction and frustration as it is quite a bug filled program. Yet it is amazing for Skinning a character to a rig, and there are lots of rigging tools for it available as MEL scripts online. For the most part I'm really enjoying learning it. So as I'm almost up to scratch on everything I need to know in Maya, I will be uploading an animated scene soon using a character I modelling, textured, and rigged using the book 'Mastering Maya 7', some Digital Tutors and Gnomonology training videos.

This clip is of the character made learning Maya, doing a sneaking walk cycle, he's a supervillain, I haven't named him yet.

PS: The clip will appear soon, I'm waiting for Vimeo to sort out their uploading problem

Motion Graphics - Narfnarf Intro

This is a new Motion Graphics intro I just finished for my showreel, just thought I'd upload it here in HD, because some of my older showreel clips have resolution limits. I've also updated my website and blog with a new look. Fancy that. Thanks for watching

Hello,

back again with another Showreel edit, this is the latest one for June 2009, I've been working on some more character animation as well as Motion Graphics as you can see. I've shortened it a little too. I should have some more new work uploaded seperately onto my animation blog at http://www.franpower.blogspot.com and my website www.narfnarf.com over the next few weeks.

Thanks

Motion Graphics - Ancient looking titles

Ancient titles - Motion Graphics from Narfnarf on Vimeo.

This is a new one I just completed, working with Particles is cool, gives you a lot of ideas. I needed a name or title so I just picked Athens, for a change.
