THOMAS SPETTEL Showreel

Decided to redo my showreel as the previous one was lacking in several elements that would promote myself professionally.

Monster Walk Cycle (Flash)

 

Just animated a monster walk cycle. Each part of the body, arms, legs and feet are all individual drawn parts, though the legs are the same just one size smaller than the other.

The monster looks silly and stupid lol. The tongue is hand animated. This is a nice exercise at animating a character with the use of puppet animation using Adobe Flash

Flash: troll walk cycle

Attempting to do a walk cycle using Adobe Flash and testing to do a "cut out" style, by simply drawing every bit if arm, head, body and arm of the character. I drew this small little troll for an experiment.



 

I hence did a combination, all the body parts such as the arms, body and face were to be all converted as "symbols" or "objects" to which the drawings will stay just as they are. The legs I animated myself which makes a nice combination as it is they that move a lot more than the body which just bobs up and down.



walking cycle, drawn and flash animation

initial sketch of walk cycle, have more but the scanner is bust somehow.
Did two walks, one on hand drawn paper frame by frame, the other on flash. the first one is a normal walk, drawing the in betweeners is kinda tedious but i have to expect that.
the other in flash is a tv character, liking the simpler way of drawing, he has a "pimp" like walk. He also has a very static, square like walk which is on purpose as he is some kind of robot
