Avatar walk cycle

Time to put some stuff together and test what the market is like! 😉

Here is a walkcycle I did for the Xbox 360 Dashboard Avatars. It is a nice rig but the legs are not stretchy so it was a bit of a pain to troubleshoot the knee pops. I could spend a bit more time on the fingers and the path of the arms but I have some other shots to polish.

SBP Diary / Calendar+

Filed under GTD, Life hack, Windows Mobile

sbpThanks to my coworker Matt, I discovered the free application Calendar+ for my Windows Mobile phone. It is free and it is really good when used with SBP Diary. The way I set up my Home/Today screen is to have Calendar + to display my calendar at the top of the screen and SBP Diary right underneath to display my Tasks.

I really like having my next “physical actions” in my calendar as I can easily track how long or when I accomplished a task but when I need to shift a series of “all day events”, then things become a bit more complicated. Anyway this new setup should be a bit more GTD so let see how it goes in the next few weeks.

Ah I am now displaying the SBP Diary tabs horizontally. It is good to have big buttons but they do take a lot of space….

Here are some screenshots I took with Ilium “Screen capture” freeware

I just found this funny and inventive animated documentary relating the strange requests Getty images receives on a daily basis, from photographs of the Yeti to Jack the ripper’s picture 😉

The short film directed by Laurie Hill won the 2008 Getty Images Short and Sweet Film Challenge

Annecy preparation

I have some good and bad news.

Bad news is that a lot of accommodations are already booked out so instead of our luxurious flat in the old town we had to take a much smaller one next to the Imperial hotel… which is not too bad in the end as there is a great cheese shop and bakery right behind the building 😉

Good news is that my friends Seb and Babasse got their short film selected at Annecy. Unfortunately they didn’t make it to the main competition but will still be featured at the “Out of competition” showcase.

Sebastien’s short is a very cool stop motion video clip using clay and Babass short film is a 3d animated watercolour work relating his trip to Madagascar (the real one, not the one from Dreamworks).

See you there!

[edit] You can see some clips from Madagascar on Babass’s latest showreel (you might want to turn down the volume 😉 )

Hellboy fan

As you might have noticed, I have a fixation on Mike Mignola’s Hellboy character. I am not too sure it is because of Red’s skin colour or the very graphical design of the character and the toys or even the fact that I met Mignola at the Birmingham comic convention 2 years ago.

Anyway I found this great blog relating the production of the Hellboy TV serie. Have a look, it is pretty interesting. They talk about all the different aspects that go into the making of an outsourced Direct to DVD animated feature.
