Reel 2010

JCO Reel 2010 from jordi Coll on Vimeo.

this is my latest show reel to date. its made from personal and profesional work,
below there is the breakdown of what I exactly did in all the scenes.

rigging Mel script

lately I've been improving my mel script skills, which where nonexistent.

I managed to wrote some scripts for fast rigging, a biped character. it's still very crude at this stage but at least, it works. here is a little demo. which of course its been speeded up at 5x. so that nodody gets borred.

the second part of the video is a little app that I wrote to organize the fk-ik switches and worldspace switches.

hope you find it interesting.

finding the rabbit hole

I've been wanting to make an ilustration like this for quite some time now. integrate a cell painted character over a "realistic" painted background is easier nowadays thank's to the miracles of digital painting and image composition. but still it's quite a chalenge to match every color acording to de mood of the scene. this has been my first atempt and I'm quite satysfied with it. Hope you like it ^^

The Sea of Words concept.

this is a concept ilustation I've made some time ago for a short story of my very good friend Miki Company, I don't know if the project goes on right now but I know he will realise it someday.

Keys and Breakdowns rough line test

this is the elephant animation test using keys and breakdowns.
a friend of mine suggested that it would be fastrer for mee to draw everything in rough. but i really must have my keys well drawn to work on a strong Base. now I think i'l draw all the inbetweens roughly
and then do a Model Pas. for the first time :P, wish me luck

sketchy elephant

this are some sketches that I've done today at work while waiting for a long playblast to finish up.
its kind of a mixture between Horton and Tandoor. but honestly when you draw an elephant it almost look like them in one way or another. im planing to do a fast animation take of this. so look forward to upload it soon.
