Scene - Act 1

@Phil

Phil I'm trying to reach Dr's Klappa email and no matter which email address I use, it gives me a sending error. I have tried emailing him from my MyUca email and from my Gmail. I really don't know what is happening. I have tried sending him an email with attaching a file, not attaching a file (my script), attaching a link, not attaching a link and i still get mail sending errors. I really don't know what is happening.

Cell Shapes

These are some various shapes of cells.
*This is just testing because no real reference of the cell has been taken.

About the resubmission, because it's Maya tutorials and the previz animatic in maya can be hosted in Youtube, can I leave them here? I believe I don't have to go and submit them with a disk. 

Unit 4: Previz Maya Animation

I had some technical problems with Maya and i couldn't "render" my image in HQ. It's still view-able.

*Hope this is not a problem.

*I'm attaching a downloadable link from a host server where i had uploaded the video with sound because youtube is lowering the quality of the already lowered quality video from Maya due to the technical problems i had

After Effects: Lesson 3

@Phil

Phil, I'm not ready for the presentation. I'm half way through my script and I don't think I'm gonna make it til the presentation which is in a couple of hours. The last days I have been doing other units work that's why I'm a little behind. The reason why I'm sending you this email now and being so late is because i thought I was going to be ready for my presentation. I'm sorry.

Comission: Animation Influences

I'm posting some videos that influence me and can give me ideas how my animation could be.



-This is a minimalistic approach to human life. The person who made it as he mentions to his video has approached the depiction of the human life as simple as can be. Although it is simple I like the minimalistic style of the video this animation has been made in 3D's max and is very photorealistic and a lot of effort has been given for this result.




Cells floating demonstration on Maya.



This is an abstract demonstration of forms. Although this doesn't have any association with cells and the cell cycle it gives me a stylistic idea and some influence of how my animation could be.



Another example of an animation interfering with 2D art. This is a very nice idea and stylistic approach which i think i will elaborate partially in my animation.

Unit 6: Commission

For this unit I have chosen to elaborate and make my animation on the scenario of:
Cell Cycle (including the Cell Division) 

-I will elaborate on eukaryotic non-productive cells.

In my animation I will include the stages of cell division: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis.

Basic information about cells and their usage will be given to the audience.

After Effects: Lesson 2

This is the second lesson.
-After Effects seems very interesting and saves a lot of time from Maya.
I couldn't upload the first lesson because my work couldn't be saved.
