How to do visual comedy by Edgar Wright

Previously, I posted a video on how to do close-ups based on Edgar Wright films. This one is a great tutorial on visual comedy, also taking as example Mr. Wright's movies.

Almost... Second place in the CGTarian Animation competiton

I almost got it. I ended up winning the 2nd place in the animation competition from CGTarian animation school.

I put a screen shot because after each competition the page changes, so if I post a link, in a year from now my video won't be there

Honestly, I'm very proud of what I accomplished. It was the first time since my days at school that I participated in a competition. I really put a lot of effort into it, with pretty much every free time I have out of my duties at home. The final result needs polish and now that I saw it again after a week or so, I realize that there are a couple of things I'd like to change.

I won't, however. Below is the animation I did, posted on the CGTarian Youtube channel.




I will post, however, another one with a slightly better render and the thumbnails I did before animating. I'll update this post when I upload it to my channel.

Overall, this was a great experience and I definitely will be doing it again!

Cheers!
