Punyu - Walks

Casual Walks I always used template, note, or reference drawing to make walkycle. True, that solved the problem but it lacks some principles of understanding motion. So I relearn it. 2 chapter of Richard Williams' Animator Survival Kit helps me alot. By knowing how and why we walk now I don't need note anymore. It's all about understanding. If you feel like you were missing something in animation eventhough you already a professional in it, don't hesitate to goes way back for basical things. You'd be surprised by what you would find. It's just like what Richard Williams said, "You don't know what you don't know." I need to watch the next chapter...

Light's Out!

It was 11.00 PM, raining, and I was alone at my house. I was doing walkcycle for Punyu when the electricity was suddenly out. It is a third world country, electricity is out often. Yeah, that's suck. I couldn't sleep that early, my PSP battery was almost out and I got bored by games lately anyway. So I picked my camera, thanks God it still has lot of power, looked like I just full recharging it some times ago, and got creative with the lights shortage,...

Merdeka!

Merdeka means free. I put that word as my post title because this is a special day for my country, Indonesia. In exactly 65 years ago, our nation finally got its freedom from the invader. Now most of the heroes who did that are gone. Let's not make their sacrifice went in vain. Time for us the youngster to fight in our own way for this country. As an artist, I will keep creating and doing my best on it. I put new picture as a banner. Punyu's expression...

Que Sera Sera

No matter how peaceful you are, how safe the step you take, you can't live without conflict. Why? Because each person is pursuing their wants. It is impossible to make everyone happy, except you don't live for yourself. It is your way or their way, it is a hard decission. If I could live more than once, then I'll try to make everyone happy, I'll live for them and get my dreams on the next other life. But I got to be realistic, and in this one short life, eventhough I never sure if I could reach the biggest dream, at least I'm gonna try to reach it. I don't want to be hated deserter soldier, but again that is never my choice. Whatever will be,...

Basic Animations

Almost 2 years ago, with Bayu Sulistyo as a mentor, I was resetting my animation learning and back into basic. Using Animation Mentor curiculum as a guide I started to learn bouncing balls, balls with tail, et cetera animations and and it gave me a precise and conceptual understanding about curve and timing. I dig my harddrive for the files then re-render and compose it into one clip because I know this could be useful as a part of my animation reel later...

The Best Motivator is Yourself

Lots of people blogging because they want it to be read and commented. They are asking for friends, collegas, families, and everyone else to be commenting to their posts. They would be sad if their blog was quiet and didn't has alot of visitors. In the end, they doesn't have enough motivation to write the new post, being lazy, and give up on the blog. Lots of people shows their works, their arts, their sweats to other people so it could be enjoyed, admired, commented or even criticized. Being responded sure as hell is exciting. They felt exist. What a damn big motivation. But when that happened is the contrary, then so does the motivation and...
