Bad Day at Work

I had an idea for a pixaresque short of a guy in an office having trouble with poorly behaving technology, just a thought. It has been done before yes, I believe Kofi has done something similar in the past, but it may be quite amusing to animate, plus there is plenty of opportunity for animation .... looking in Tom's direction. =P

Lights Out

Cool short!

This is a little animation I've been tinkering around with for a while. The original incarnation was designed for the Piranhabar reception desk which spanned 3 HDTV's so it was wiiiiiiiide. This version is a little easier to swallow on a single screen.

It follows a little robotic character who's just trying to grab some shut-eye but the factory around him springs to life unexpectedly. A serious design flaw in the factories ergonomics prevents the poor guy from reaching the off switch and the rest is history!

I pretty much did everything you see and hear here. Visuals were done in XSI, comping and grading in After Effects and sound was done in Premiere. Sound design purely based on sound effects was a new venture for me so I hope the result sounds ok!

Some Olde refreshing inspiration

For those such as myself, still caught in awe by the skill; diverse colour, timing, sense of depth and general awesomeness here's some classic Gobelin' favourites for your enjoyment/inspiration.

Brink

A cool games trailer which could be inspirational.

Andy's Ideas

Nice ideas Andy. I think the sky chase is an awesome, but I think I prefer the idea with the jealous previous project. Could work and be quite neat. As you have illustrated we might not need leg animation for the creator, just him sitting down immersed on his latest project, fidgeting and recoiling at the annoying robotic arm behind him or something along those lines.

Awesome Animation Shorts

Nice videos you found there Fahran I especially like the first animation. Its sweet yet well executed with effective lighting.
