So there's been a couple times in the past where my animation work has
been used to help get a movie greenlit...so I figured I'd try to help in
my own little way to get a Wicked movie made. ;)<br />
<br />
I actually can't believe this movie hasn't been made already...seems
like a no brainer...I have a vision of taking my two daughters to the
premiere of an animated Wicked film, but they are getting older and time
is running out. C'mon guys!Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10440662692976340382noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571721089828399178.post-9151582498744637582015-03-11T06:39:00.000-07:002018-03-30T19:31:20.584-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm doing an early spring cleaning of the hard drive and created a little sampler of some of the animation work I've done over the last few years.<br />
<br />
Most of this stuff is various prototyping, tests and work animations that are in various stages of "unfinishedness", but I thought people might like to see some of the stuff I've been working on. The hard drive is cleaned out for now...<br />

After I heard this great parody song, I decided to create an actual Harley Quinn model to sing it.<br />
The song credit goes to Hesychia7 and SydneyAmber for this parody version of the song <b>Do You Wanna Build A Snowman</b> from Disney's <b>Frozen</b>.<br />
<br />
I included an Animation Progression Breakdown with notes about my process, but really it's just an excuse to lengthen the animation and play more of the song.<br />
<br />
Make sure you stick with it until the end for the "surprise" ending ;)Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10440662692976340382noreply@blogger.com73tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571721089828399178.post-64308016574907150122014-05-25T08:33:00.003-07:002014-05-25T09:58:43.400-07:00Here's something for the 3DStudio Max animators out there. Tired of the tiny, hard to read frame counter displays out there? Well here you go...<br />
A free renderable geometry Frame Counter to render with your "work in progress" animations. Just place it in relation to your camera, type in the animation title, name and workflow status in the attribute holder and it becomes a great help with critiques. <a href="http://www.themichaelsmith.com/p/tutorials.html#FrameCounter">You can download it from my Tutorials page here:</a><br />

<br />
I also included instructions on how to create your own....plus included a script you can copy that will create one for you.<br />

Welp...I guess this YouTube thing is going to catch on...<br />
<br />
I finally got around to officially adding my Transformer videos from back in the day to YouTube (I think you could already find the vids on there in some form or another by other people).<br />
<br />
I did the Volkswagon transformer back near the end of the year 2000, and man...computer animation tools have come a looooong way since then. It went viral before there was such a thing as going viral. People had to email the video to each other back then. Alright, I guess I'm starting to sound like the old man in the rocking chair. Enjoy the vids!Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10440662692976340382noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571721089828399178.post-11989099444611125312013-10-07T09:59:00.002-07:002013-10-07T10:16:50.906-07:00<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7ChjFSNPRnk?rel=0" width="640"></iframe>

<br />
Putting my facial rig through it's paces...<br />
<br />
A quick posing exercise I did recreating facial expressions from photos. This wasn't so much about accurately portraying the pose, but learning to exaggerate it using the rig I created. I've noticed a TON of little tweaks I need to go back and fix on the rig now, but I think it's coming along pretty nicely. The really good news is that most of the setup process is scripted (I still need to place and skin bones/make morph targets, but once that's done it's just running a script) and recreation of the rig on a new character is "easy" (easier). <br />
<br />
P.S. This was my first ever SubSurface Scatter texture render for the skin, and man does it create some cool effects.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10440662692976340382noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571721089828399178.post-15165605198261825302013-09-23T10:34:00.000-07:002013-10-01T14:06:04.923-07:00<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BZTMW-zILmQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<br />
Throughout my career as an animator, and having to rig my own characters...I've become somewhat proficient (IMHO) at rigging. <br />
<br />
I watched Jeff Brodsky's (Character Technical Director at Disney) elephant trunk rig demo and I was so impressed that I decided to take a weekend and recreate it in 3DS Max (thanks to Jeff for answering some quick questions I had about his setup too).<br />
<br />
I love the ingenious thinking that went into creating the rig as it shows the true artistry that can be found in rigging. The rig (simple to use....somewhat complex under the hood) behaves almost like it's magic! I may post the rig so people can play with/learn from it too.<br />
<br />
WOO HOO FOR MATH!!! <br />
<br />

This Reel was thrown together quickly specifically for a job at one company. Unfortunately I didn't land the gig. I apologize for the bad compression on some of the videos. I also need to figure out a cool way of showing, in the reel, how technical I've become as well with Scripting and Rigging.<br />

OMG! Please do NOT
tell me I let 1 and a half years go by without a SINGLE update!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I swear, time is going by
faster and faster.</div>

After watching
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, it reminded me of my old
Transformer days and inspired me to actually do a website update.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
K, to save face I'm going
to cheat. I'm going to add a 2008 page as if I'd been doing
updates all along (plus I enjoy looking back on my career timeline so
I'd like to keep that going). We all know that I did no updates
from 2007
till now, but we'll keep the illusion that I update the site every few
months.</div>

So I'm sitting around
minding my own business today when Super 78 sends me this email...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
"<i>Variety announced today
that Ben 10 is nominated for TWO Visual Effects/Animation awards by the
Visual Effects Society."</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
One of those awards being
for the Grey Matter sequence I animated for the film! How cool is
that!
<a href="http://www.variety.com/awardcentral_article/VR1117978529.html?nav=news&categoryid=1983&cs=1">
Here's a link to the Variety articles list of nominees...</a></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Look for my name under the
award for <span class="article infuse"><b>ANIMATED CHARACTER IN A LIVE
ACTION BROADCAST PROGRAM OR COMMERCIAL</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
So let me get this
straight....not only will they pay you, they may even give you awards
for playing around all day....pretty sure</div>

of the last things I did at Super 78 before I left was work on Grey Matter
for the live action movie...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/specials/ben10movie/index.html">Ben
10: Race Against Time on Cartoon Network</a></div>

If you don't know what Ben
10 is, shame on you! Watch more cartoons! (it's about a boy
who fights bad guys by becoming one of 10 different aliens by injecting
himself with their DNA which is stored in his wristband (the Omnitrix).
Grey Matter is one of the aliens he turns into.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Now, I'm not exactly
unbiased, but I think Grey Matter steals the show (no offense to Lee
Majors, he's great too, I sure don't want the Bionic Man to come after
me). Of course I recommend watching the whole film in high
resolution on Cartoon Network, but if you can no longer catch a
rebroadcast, you can check out my work on YouTube thanks to a Ben 10 fan.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I modeled Grey Matter and
was responsible for his animation in the whole sequence with the exception
of the morph scene at the very beginning. Check it out...</div>
