It's been waaayyy too long this time!<br />
But 2014 has proven to be the most eventful year. Therefore, super busy!<br />
Here's a small list of what happened this year:<br />
- Sold my soul to my last film at CalArts<br />
- My film made it into the 2014 Producer's Show (yay!)<br />
- Graduated from CalArts (still can't believe it!)<br />
- Moved up to the Bay Area<br />
- Been getting a steady stream of freelance work<br />
<br />
I also started a Tumblr that I post on more often just because it's a bit more convenient.<br />
But I still feel like I owe to myself and this blog to put something on there.<br />
Here is a link to my Tumblr for more of my work:<br />
<a href="http://tammykchang.tumblr.com/">http://tammykchang.tumblr.com</a><br />
<br />
So without further ado, here is my last film at CalArts!<br />
I can say, that I had so much fun with it and I can watch it without cringing. So, big step for me! Haha.<br />

<br />
And here is a little painting that I did for the holidays.<br />
I haven't used acrylic paint in a while and I remember how much fun it is.<br />
So I sucked it up and it didn't turn out so bad!<br />

I'm usually good about posting, even if it's a little bit.<br />
But my fourth year at CalArts has been <i>super </i>busy.<br />
I made a design portfolio this year and I've sold my soul to my film.<br />
Check out my design portfolio! It's at the top tab that says "Design Portfolio."<br />
With my help of my awesome character design teacher, Nate Wragg, I managed to put together a portfolio that I actually had fun doing.<br />
And with Portfolio Day coming up, the crunching has doubled.<br />
I'm hoping the next time I post won't be when my film is done. I'd like to update my blog with my film progress as I move on to cleaning and coloring my animation.<br />
For now, here are a few backgrounds from my film!<br />

It was really fun, but I think I focused too much on the overall look instead of the character :/<br />
I ended up doing 2 because I liked both ideas and I couldn't decide.<br />
I had the sketches done early so I was able finish!<br />
They're not quite character designs but thats ok :P<br />

And they are all zombies. Because I love zombies and I've always wanted to do a film about them.<br />
I dressed them up in fancy menswear from the 1920s because they are going to attend a tea party.<br />
So I basically put all the things that I love together for my last film at CalArts.<br />
Zombies, menswear and afternoon tea.<br />
It's only my first pass, so I still have some revisions to do!<br />
(their feet are all the same size... oops...)<br />
<br />
I'm also thinking I should give them names at some point.<br />
That could be fun.<br />

School has already started at full force, but it feels good to be back.<br />
It's my last year at CalArts so I'm going to make it a good one!<br />
I hope to start posting some film sketches and character designs soon.<br />
But until then, I am mourning the end of one of my favorite shows.<br />
So sad, and so happy.<br />

That may have been a mistake because it didn't work out so well :/<br />
So I collaborated with the talented <a href="http://www.mkennedymusic.com/" target="_blank">Michael Paul Kennedy</a> and asked him to come up with something for my film.<br />
I think my film does work better with the music and it's not so awkwardly silent anymore.<br />
Which is good!<br />
I have replaced my old film with the new version on Vimeo so hopefully other people can watch it with fresh eyes... and ears I suppose.<br />
<br />
Also, a Sherdian intern that I work with was sad about the ending of my film.<br />
So to show that there are no hard feelings, I did this quick little drawing:<br />

I haven't updated much because summer is my time to catch up on life and do things that I couldn't do during school.<br />
But also, I've been doing a part time internship at Titmouse working on JJ Villard's show King Star King.<br />
I am having such a great time working for him and I can't wait to see it air on Adult Swim next year!<br />
I'm still drawing here and there. So maybe I can post those later.<br />
For now, I only have a boobie animation that I did for Titmouse's Boobie Project.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes, this is what I have to show after 2 months of summer vacation.<br />
It's only supposed to be an 18 frame shot, but I looped it for more boobie-squeezing.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I provided him with a tiny canvas and this is what he painted me:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's from his third year film and it's so beautiful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what I will be sending him when he's back from vacation: </div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The canvases are about 2 x 2.75". So they're very small. Mine was done with acrylic and I haven't touched acrylics since first year! I was really scared so I kept it simple.<br />
I definitely want to buy more tiny canvases and do this over the summer because it turned out to be so much fun.<br />
I forgot to add some yellow highlights on some of the rocks so I'll do that before I send it off to Jacob.<br />
I hope he likes it, cause I'm not as skilled of a painter as he is :P<br />
<br />
<u><b>Update:</b></u><br />
<br />
I finally added the yellow highlights!<br />
I definitely think it looks a little better and not as flat.<br />

So this is what I came up with!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vAUoH8bdT0k/UYMDAUSlsrI/AAAAAAAAB4E/ngobcsPQcQg/s1600/mitchell_businessCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="364" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vAUoH8bdT0k/UYMDAUSlsrI/AAAAAAAAB4E/ngobcsPQcQg/s640/mitchell_businessCard.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I changed the bear's fur for the business card because his chest fluff became too small.<br />
So I just gave him a fur pattern.<br />
It's nice to draw again!Tammy Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844517811442356240noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242421815892434487.post-29335003303848906442013-04-29T01:06:00.000-07:002013-04-29T01:06:25.403-07:00Third Year Film!It's that time of the year again!<br />
Film time is finally over and summer vacation is just around the corner.<br />
This year, I chose to do a CG film and I actually managed to finish it.<br />
It was a tough beast to tackle but I learned so much in the process.<br />
I really wanted to focus on animation this year, but I didn't quite get to do that because of modeling, rigging and just getting Maya to cooperate.<br />
I almost handed it off to someone else to do it but in the end, I'm really glad that I did it myself.<br />
With a ton of help of course :P<br />
<br />
Many many thanks to my family, friends and CalArts staff who helped me during the process.<br />
There's no way I could've done it without all of their help.<br />
<br />
So here it is:<br />
<br />

Also, another exciting thing that happened this weekend was the CalArts annual print fair.<br />
I didn't even know it existed until a fellow graphic designer friend who was running the fair this year invited <a href="http://karicasady.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kari</a>, <a href="http://melanieatwater.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Melanie</a> and I to attend.<br />
It was so much fun and I'm super glad I got to be a part of it.<br />
I just wanted to post a picture of our table and some of the prints that I was selling.<br />
<br />

No posts means it's film crunch time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just animate in Maya all day and it's a bit sad because I miss drawing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But at least I was able to design this shrimp alien for Andy Suriano's class!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I looked up pictures of mantis shrimp because they are way cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I got to ink my design this time.</div>

For this post, I wanted to upload character designs that I did for Andy Suriano's class.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were assigned to design a barbarian action show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I decided to design some Inuit barbarians!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because I really like native american culture :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are taken straight from my portfolio. I want to make changes to them when I get the chance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Especially the line work. But here they are for now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is one more character that is second in command to the bad guy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll post him too sooner or later!</div>

So I'm going to try to get over my fear of posting my animations and post the demo reel that I will be showing at this year's portfolio day at CalArts.<br />
Very scary.<br />
I'm hoping to update it when I finish my third year film.<br />
I'm having some issues rendering in Maya, so the shots of my film in the reel don't look very nice right now :P<br />
Here it is!<br />

I just wanted to post more watercolor pieces that I did for my boyfriend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I forgot to scan the first one before I sent it to him via snail mail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My boyfriend works with cloud technology, so that explains the first one!</div>

I'm trying to paint little watercolor pieces here and there because I'm making a CG film this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope I can keep this up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a hedgehog that I painted for my boyfriend's cousin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's actually my first time drawing a hedgehog so it's not all that good :(</div>
