Laughing Test

Click here to view...

I fixed this character design up a bit to make him look more interesting and animated .. it was drawn and colored in Flash first .. then brought into Photoshop with Gaussian blur .... then brought into After Effects for export to SWF for web purposes.

Now looking at what I've done.. I felt like I could have saved a step in Photoshop .. and just apply in After Effects all together... Not quite sure if the blur line effect exists in Flash ... have yet to find that out...

I was skeptical about Flash before because of my misconception with its line character compare to Photoshop ... But today I managed achieve the line quality I want ...

Back with more tests soon.

Good Weather




Here's a character design I killed.

Been running work flow tests in Flash with very satisfying results. Thank you Flash veterans for guiding me through this. Now it looks like my productivity's gonna explode with this new workflow.

Leica Reel Jan. 22, 2007

Right Click Here to download this leica reel.

Since the last version in December, I have made changes to the opening and closing sequences. Unfortunately, I haven't cut rough sound for the changed scenes, but I think I've done enough to get my ideas across. There are still minor changes I made that's not in this version, and I will update the reel every now now and then.

Highway Star No. 2




Using 3D models as guides, I can make drawings with realistic perspective. This is a rough drawing now of course, and there is going to be more vehicles in the final layout.
