Pascal Campion - Inspiring Draftsman

Inspirational Artists: Pascal Campion from Onyx Cinema, Inc. on Vimeo.

I saw this video clip few weeks ago, and I just enjoyed what he had to say. Very inspirational to those who enjoy drawing, love to tell stories, and just want to keep on getting better at doing so.

Just wanted to share this on my blog. :)

Road to Redemption 1

It's been a long summer doing my internship, taking time to think of the past year, and prepare my mind for the future. With a lot that has happened to me personally, it felt like I was in limbo as a person and as an artist...I was just lost. Well, I recently found myself back to reality, with a renewed focus for what I want to do in life...and my desires to get better at.

This is my Road to Redemption as a draftsman, the sole ability that helps me do what I do best: Illustrate and create cartoon characters.

I know I have a long road ahead of me of valleys and mountains. That's fine with me, I will do what I can to get better in anatomy and in drawing. That's what I do, and I cannot put this away anymore.

I hope you enjoy this journey as I will. See you next week!

Toy Story 3

Do yourself a favor and see this movie!!! The story really brought heart, laughter, tears, and excitement! Just got back watching it with my family, and it was a treat.

I plan to see this movie again...but at the IMAX!!! It's worth watching it, so says the Animation Enthusiast! :)

The Hardest Jigsaw

The Hardest Jigsaw from Eric Anderson on Vimeo.

Just saw this today, and I was extremely impressed by the style for the animation. As well as the storytelling. Pure animation fun! :)

The animation was done by CalArts student Eric Anderson.

Motion Inspiration

The seniors of the graphic design program really inspired me in motion design, with the thought process and experimentation. With the works they have done, I know it'll be a great challenge to match their projects...and it's a challenge I'm willing to take on in the following months.

Thanks guys for inspiring my motion interests! :)

The Modifyers

"The Modifyers" animated pilot from Chris Reccardi on Vimeo.

I've seen this pilot before a few months ago, but I had a chance to see it again today. Still as good and impressive as the first time I saw this piece. It left me disappointed that it was not green lit into full production.

What I like about the project is the art direction for both the environments and the characters. They fit together, not something where some cartoons feel they are distant apart and not interacting. The style reminds me of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends...but not a rip off. A bit of My Life as a Teenage Robot too.

Check it out, you won't be disappointed! :)

Pixels - an Animation Genius Project!

One of my friends shared this to me recently, and I was clearly blown away by the storytelling and animation in this production. OneMoreProduction did an outstanding job! Really inspired my animation drive! :)

You have gotta to watch this!! :D
