Please copy and paste the final line test code (its kinda big, and I'm too tired to edit it AGAIN...)

Line Test

This is my animation of a bouncing ball. This is the first time I have created a moving animation and I know that it is not that very good. Comments are highly appreciated for this work. Please click on the picture so you can view the entire thing (don't even know how to fix this darn thing..... =.=)

Return I will to Old Brazil

Return I will to Old Brazil

The animation that I have just watched is an animated music film is based on the song Brazil performed by The Real Tuesday Weld with Nick Phelps and Geert Chatrou. This was created by Alex Budovsky from the Figli - Migli Productions. The animation was a stop- motion animation and it featured well created models and the movements of the stop motion was very solid. Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5 because it did not match up to the goodness of stop motion animation and music video category.

An Animated Short (VFS)

An Animated Short

The flick that I have just seen actually has no title. It starts out with a ninja meditating and his shadow is bored, then out of nowhere a ball drops to his side and is trying to distract him. The ninja does not fall for the ball's plot but his shadow did, then the shadow holds the ball and a basketball hoop suddenly emerges from the ground and it starts to play. After awhile the ninja notices that his shadow has left him and he goes out to find it. Then he finds his shadow playing and demands to come back, but the shadow denies him. He tries begging to it but comes to no avail. Just about as he was leaving he notices a lights switch. He then shows the shadow the switch and then turns it off.

The film was created by Hischam Zouorob, a student of the Vancouver Film School. He used what he learned from the animation and visual effects program in his school. The 3D modelling was very well done and the animation was good. Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars for the storyline and animation.

Oktapodi

Oktapodi

The video that I have just seen is entitled "Oktapodi". It is about two octopuses help each other in their slapstick escape from the grasps of a stubborn restaurant. The film was created by Gobelins studio, and their work is terrific! The animation was so realistic it hardly seemed made up, and the models were so perfectly rendered that it added to the realism. There were no flaws in this film and the story was created so well. Overall this gains a 5 out of 5 stars for excellence in the use of 3D animation.

Unicycle Joe

Unicycle Joe

The flick that I have just viewed is called "Unicycle Joe". The movie is about a boy who has a unicycle for a leg. We first see three of them sitting in a bar quarreling with each other, then three irish men come in arguing about them sitting in their place. Then suddenly Joe chokes from a meatball, and spits it out which hit an irish man and a woman. Then the brawl begins, with the irish guy and the woman fighting each other. Then the black guy tries to shoot another guy who is drinking at the bar, but hits the bartender instead because he was bit by a sheep. After the brawl they ask the bartender for drinks, and is given to them by none other but Joe. After awhile they drag Joe out and tie him to a sheep and then run off into the horizon.

The flick was created by Alan Cook and Philip Rodriguez. The animation and transition of the movie was good and the story was a bit off but did well. Overall this gained a respectable 4 out of 5 stars.

Puppet

Puppet

The film that I have just witnessed is entitled "Puppet". It is a story about a young man who creates a hand puppet that hurts him in increasingly gruesome and bizarre ways. It is a story of desperation, fear, and an ever-present question: does the puppet have a mind of its own, or does the hand want to control it this way?

The animation was created by Patrick Smith back in 2006. His caricatures were top of the line and the animation went very well. It had no flaws and the transition of the frames were fluid. Overall I would rate this 5 out of 5 stars for great animation and storyline.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

The animation I just watched was a birthday song performed by 3 orange aliens. This short animation was created by Grey Worldwide. The animation and the effects were awesome! It was also very cute because of their singing voice and how they moved about performing it. Overall I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars for this flick.

Not Forgotten

Not Forgotten

The animation that I have just seen is called "Not Forgotten". We start off by going through the gates of heaven to find a young angel taking a shower. After showering he then grabs a leaf which acts as his clothes. He then walks away from the shower and yawns because it was almost bed time. But suddenly a gust of wind blows away the leaf and he quickly tries to get it back. The leaf lands away from the gates of heaven and the little angel hurries over to get it. But as soon as he puts it back on the gates close, and he is stuck outside heaven. He tries to fly over it but is unsuccessful, and he keeps on trying to use the doorbell but to no avail. When all seemed hopeless, the little angel desperately tries one last time to fly over the gates. And with a little help from God, he is able to fly and go to sleep.

The film was created by Dewi Permata Sari of the Vancouver Film School for her digital character animation course. The animation was very well rendered and the transition of the movie was flawless, but the only downside is that the film had little to no sound effects at all. Overall I would score this film a 4 out of 5 stars for brilliant animation.
