Animated Protest March Walk Cycle.

2011-09-02T10:31:00.016+02:00

There have already been actions against the cuts on various occasions. The NIAF also wants, together with the animation industry, its voice to be heard. Our protest will take the form of a digital protest march. Movement is the essence of animation. The different frames or drawings of an animation have little meaning in separately, but together they form a moving whole, just as hundreds of walkers form a march.

To achieve this march, we need your help! Help us and the animation industry by sharing a "walk cycle”. The collected walk cycles will be shown on the website www.animationmarch.nl (take a look at this website for more information) and together will form an animated protest march.

Arcatecture (Untitled 01). While losing contact with reality we stumble upon a new world.

The Arcatecture object consist primarily of postalbag texture and iron wireframe. In this work I investigate how the form of the machine is used to create a bridge between reality and the virtual world and the process of modeling an object in 3d sculpting software. Creating the wire frame, choosing material and texture and finally applying the laws of physics. Where to start to get an end result and what's the relation between the object, space and its observer.
(Is it mass or just eye candy?)

On the Origin of Species vs the Bible

How to fit the Origin of Species and the Bible on one bookshelf.
This movie shows the first setup for the CockFight Instalation,
creating a endless battle between the two books. At the Dogtime
presentation I used two books with the same dimensions to get
an endless fight going on.

"GETTING ME HIGH" -Solid Rocket Boosters
Animation by: E10,Larie & Dokutoru Tako

The background of the videoclip is a combination of painted backgrounds with vector graphics and aerosol gradients. The main character was drawn stop-motion ( approximately 700 frames ) and coloured with Copics by Larie.

For the final scene I made a huge grayscale PSD-file :
2,10 gb / 9288px - 9360 px / 300dpi / 8 layers /
E10 placed the PSD-file in 3d Max so we could run a camera through the cut-outs.
