During my senior year at UC Berkeley I finally took the challenge of learning mew media in computer graphics, animation. It initially was intimidating me enough to not want to continue CG art, but after a while I grew to know the program (Maya, a software using three-dimensional space to create polygons and objects after which you can animate).
Here are a few stills of some models and finished products from the latest couse, CG Animation Production. In this semester, the class was divided into small teams and assigned to work on 2 to 3 minute movies for the duration of the semester. My roommate, Tracy, and I created a movie about a butterfly and a Columbine flower. I did the modelling and most of the shading for the movie, and we both shared animation, laying out, camera work for the movie.
