Back Flip

2010-06-15T02:53:00.004-05:00

Here is the last polished shot from Class 6 of Animation Mentor. This is the Back Flip exercise I worked on in class 2. Going back to a shot that I worked on in the beginning of school was really fun to do. Mainly because I could see how much I had improved, and was able to make the necessary changes to make this shot better.

Next in line, is the compiled demo reel.

El Mariachi

2010-05-04T17:31:00.003-05:00

Very Random idea, but i ran with it. I didn't expect this to end up being a scribble that i would finish. But I'm glad I did!!

Crane Kick

This is a polish pass of the Crane Kick shot I did during class 3 at Animaton Mentor. This seems much more fluid and finished. Take a look and enjoy!!

Breathing Kid

Breathing Kid Pencil Test from Chris Pearson on Vimeo.

Now that I have an animation disk, I thought it was about time I started doing some 2D animations. I couldn't think of anything so this is what i did. I thought it was kinda cool.

I finally finished my two person dialog shot. This would have been done a lot sooner if it weren't for perfectly timed computer crashes.

Melting

2010-04-06T23:40:00.004-05:00

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Seeing as how I'm still working on some animation mentor shots that are not yet ready to be posted, I thought I would post a scribble. This is something that just came out when I picked up my pencil. It's a sudden change is style but I really liked it, and I hope you do too!

Heart Broken

Here is a shot I did at at Animation Mentor in the Advanced acting class. The clip comes from The Producers. This shot was a lot of fun to work on. But I'm ready to work on my next shot...

New Portrait

2009-12-23T20:14:00.002-06:00

I havn't uploaded anything in a while...Now that I have some spare time between classes and work I can get some drawings done. Here is the latest and hopefully the last caricature of myself.

Computer Crash

2009-11-05T16:56:00.003-06:00

Here is my most recent shot. Now that I'm finished with my body mechanics classes i can start my acting classes. So this is my first acting animation. It was really fun to do, something I think every body can relate to and it's funny.

Freddy Krueger

2009-10-27T18:26:00.002-05:00

This is a sketch I did for my friends drawing club. This weeks idea was "Freddy Krueger". It could use some reworking but I felt that i was good enough.

Wolverine

2009-10-20T22:46:00.004-05:00

Here are some wolverine drawings I doodled up today. I was pretty much just playing around with ways to draw the shoulders in these. I was trying to figure out how the neck flows into the shoulder and down through the chest. I feel like it worked out fairly well.

Acting 101

2009-10-04T00:28:00.004-05:00

Rough Timing of "Computer Crash"

Here is the Idea I'll be working on for the next few weeks. This is my first attempt at acting. I'm pretty excited to move on from body mechanics and into acting.

Stewie is working hard on his computer. He stops to review his work when his computer suddenly crashes. He panics and hopes that he can fix the problem but he soon realizes there is nothing he can do.

HVS Test

2009-09-29T14:24:00.003-05:00

Over the Past week I did a test for a job application. I had to make these three animations in one week. The hard part about this was coming up with the ideas for each one. After I had the idea I felt more comfortable. Take a look and enjoy each animation!!

Class 3 Progress Reel

2009-09-14T18:22:00.003-05:00

Check out the higher resolution version on my website. This is my class 3 progress reel. This class was a fun one, I got some Karate Kid in there along with some Micheal Jackson. Have a look and enjoy!!

Profile Of A Super Hero

2009-08-21T16:34:00.003-05:00

Just a quick sketch I did out of boredom. Hope you like it!!

Western

2009-08-10T20:39:00.003-05:00

Here is an attempt at a western sheriff. Tried to do some forced perspective in the one, it kind of worked out. Any way here it is and enjoy!

Mario & Luigi

2009-08-08T12:38:00.003-05:00

Okay I know this is the second thing I've posted from Mario, but too bad. This was a a test to see if i could ink on paper. And so far I like the result. Much better and easier to do than on the computer. So from now on when I feel like finishing one of my scribbles i will ink it on paper first.

Mario World

2009-08-03T15:19:00.004-05:00

This is as close to the the original Mario games as I could get. I was looking for a Mario Desktop Background and couldn't find one, so i made one. Making this was pretty fun, I looked at a lot of reference for each prop. The Pipes are the only thing i didn't really change. I put each highlight where it was in the reference.

Crane Kick

2009-07-28T00:40:00.002-05:00

Here are more of my animated scribbles. This is the idea for the next shot I'm working on. The karate kid crane kick. I'm excited about this one, my blocking faze starts right now!

Soccer Star

2009-07-27T22:35:00.003-05:00

Here is my latest shot. This is Stewie the Soccer Star. I had a lot of fun working on this one. The hardest part of this is working on the balance. So this next shot I'm working on is going to have some wobbling balance, hopefully I can pull that off.

Check out the full Demo Reel Here!

Animation Goggles

2009-07-17T03:14:00.003-05:00

Okay this is a strange one but i couldn't help it. I couldn't stop thinking about animation goggles when i heard my mentor say "put on your animation goggles". These probably could have been a little more creative and i probably could have spent a little more time on this...but i didn't, so here it is. Animation Goggles.

Stewie In Costume

2009-07-04T00:30:00.003-05:00

Here is Stewie in his Soccer uniform. So far I'm pretty excited to start blocking this assignment. Stewie looks great in this pose and the costume isn't that bad either.

Soccer Planning

2009-07-03T01:51:00.002-05:00

Had a good 2 week break from the computer. Now it's time to get back to the desk and make some awesomeness. My next project will be of Stewie kicking a soccer ball. This is the rough timing for the assignment. I chose 3 different videos to use as my reference ( for each movement) then tried my best to draw it from one angle on one character.
