Eyedarts - reference - example
This is a player of Panathinaikos interviewed after the end of the semifinal game of the 2009 finalfour. As I was watching it I noticed that his stare was shifting from one place to the other. Especially around the end of the interview his eyes go nuts! I thought it was a very good example for referencing eyedarts. I asked myself whether its possible to animate the eyes of a character with so many eyedarts and not to seem strange. Then I tried to think what this character may be feeling after this particular game. His team had one the opponent team for only 2 points... Generally it was a very intense game from the beginning to the end. So I thought he might be still stressed from what was happening for the last 1 and half hours in his life. Apart from that he is in a stadium so there are many things/people that could attract his attention. In animation this kind of eye movement could be applied in a character where he feels very uncomfortable or maybe very alert with his environment. Although the rhythm and the density of the eyedarts of this example may end up in a very noisy animation. So we allways need to think what to take and what to leave out of reference. Never copy reality! Just reference it :)

Scene analysis - personal effects
Hi to all animators! Potential and professionals... This is my first time that I'm writing down something like this in my blog. So here it is first attempt to analyze a scene. “It's all in the eyes” - great phrase but since I'm the worst animator when it comes to the eyes I thought I'll give it a try and see what I can get out of this shot. The shot its taken from a lately released movie “personal effects”. Not the best movie but I'm a believer that you can get good stuff from every movie. Although, in the beginning I was stuck with Ashton Kutcher's performance, as I was watching it again and again, I think that Michelle Pfeiffer's performance is far more superior in this scene.

Progress Reel
A lot of things have changed since my last update. The most important fact is that I quit my job in order to concentrate in my Animation Mentor studies. I think I managed to complete this term with a lot of success, although I hope that next term I'm going to have a lot more fun and learn even more stuff! This is my progress reel for the fall 2007 term. Enjoy!

Past works
In order to introduce myself better in the field I thought I could share some of my previous works. All of them where accomplished during my academic years. After a year that I've finished uni, I admit that the end result is at low quality with a GREAT space of improvement but I think Ive learnt show many different stuff about the 3d computer animation world. Fill free to comment on these even I wouldnt make any changes. Its all history! :)
