back again!!!

hi,

Its excatly 1 year and 2 months since I last posted here... Thats a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNG Time... and alot of things have happened in that one year...


I was a faculty for few months teaching animation... poor poor students... Dont know how they learnt from someone who dont know much!!!

Then I joined in a studio in Kerala and was part of an episode of the toon taash... an 3d animation series of a famous serial Tash ma Tash. Learnt alot from it, had a wonderful animation supervisor (shine raj) and director (wizam).


And now I am back home... Trying to put the newly aquired knowledge to test...

When Wacom company felt pity on cheap (kanjos) artist like me. They released a cheap version of their FAMOUS tablet... and called it Bamboo one (probably cause it had only one button)...

now i spent 3k on the tablet (the small one) and was itching to try out some 2d animation, but I was lazy (for some reason windows XP didnt support touch sensitivity and it wasnt any fun drawing without touch sensitivity of an wacom)...

Installing Windows 7 solved that problem... It also made me unable to install maya for some reason ( :D guess my system hates me) so sitting i got to explore 2d animation...

heres a rough animation which was more or less animated stright ahead (u cant block much with a ball but i gave it a GAME try)

ball with tail test from vedanth rajan on Vimeo.



I had fun animating... but this was a simple animation... gonna try to do some more complex animation...

thats quite alot for now
