Still Alive and Kicking

Contrary to popular belief,
all the members of CTV have not stopped doing everything film-related altogether.
(we've just stopped talking about it)

The Fall Of Man-Ten Page Version

Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol is coming along beautifully. I heard from the whispers of the Ozzy-looking mastermind, that he has a concept that he is working on. The other director on the film, Neil Soiland, is currently penning a script. We are all racing to our Spring Break deadline. I'm kinda in the lead due to our assignment class.

As mentioned earlier, I am basing my segment off of a short I wrote for my Short Scriptwriting class. So, just like Michael, I decided to give you guys a sneak at the ten page version of the script. The full version will have more in-depth scenes, more encounters, an alternate opening scene, and I will change the narration. But check out the 10/10 version I gave to Vance.

Vita: The 10-Page Preview Script

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was working on a short titled Vita.
Quite a bit has happened since then.

About a couple weeks ago I was assigned to do a ten-page short for my scriptwriting class.
What better chance than then to finally write Vita?
While it has been limited to ten pages, I got the gist of the story out there on paper.
Plus I received 10/10 on it!
Professor's notes: "Fascinating! Good. You pack a lot of action without overwriting."

Because it has been so limited, MUCH of the story had to be removed.
So just consider this ten-pager just rough outline of the actual finished product.

Here is a link to the Google Documents version of the short.

Cracked Open Maya 2008 Again

OK, I started the modeling process. Here's a screen shot.
Production is going good. Mr. Knight introduced me to the guy who is going to speak tomorrow at seven. Cool dude.
[Marshall Lee Toomey, an animator straight from Disney, will be guest speaking at Pacific Union College on March 2, 2010. Mr. Knight is part of the faculty here at PUC.]
I think I'm going to like my film and television career. I cant wait till my animation is done.
CTV, I'll keep you posted.
My next post will be of the first, finished, model.


Had a great day for once,

New Character Sketch for Attack of the Living-Dead

The First draft of the script is done. And I have two characters that I have final sketches for. This one was the second version of this character I sketched.
What do you think?
I think i have accomplished a fairly good character. This is the nameless kid in the animation :)
Creating the first sketches of a character, in my opinion, is the hardest part of any animation.
It takes the most creativity.
Anyway, I'll keep CTV posted on the progress of the animation.

Animated Short Planned to Start Soon

I Jonathan Hudgens, am no expert when it comes to 3D animation.
But I do know how to do it. 

Thus, for my portfolio, I will be animating a six minute, or under, short.
This Short will be called: Attack of the Living-Dead.

Its a comedy.

Here's my first character sketch for the animation.



Premise:
Boy gets lost in graveyard. And goes further in while trying to find the way out.
His life flashes before his tiny little eyes.
Will he get out of this alive?

Will I get out of this alive,
