Christoffer's corner: June 2009
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. Since my last acting shot, I havn't really shown anything, but that doesn't mean I've been lazy :). I have started production of a new shortfilm. I feel the story is better than any other I've come up with, so hopefully if I can find time to finish this off, it will be pretty decent. I'd like to share a concept picture of one of the scenes, to get you into the right mindset, and then write a little bit of the story. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. So, a big happy face huh? On another note, ...

Christoffer's corner: October 2009
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. I've been working a lot on the character design for my shortfilm, and I've come down to this one. Things might change again later, but for now, I feel I've hit something that'll work. Let me know what you think! Saturday, October 24, 2009. Here is a collection of drawings I've made at thursday and friday. We were to develope characters from an imaginary film project themed Clown Hunters. I designed a few clowns and they looks like this:. I also drew a movie poster :. They shou...

Christoffer's corner: More short film concept
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2010/03/more-short-film-concept.html
Friday, March 5, 2010. More short film concept. Okay, sorry for the lack of updates. It's been a while since I posted anything on my short film, Deep, partly because it now has it's own site over at Deepfilm.blogspot.com. But even there, it's pretty vague with info and updates. The lack of updates doesn't mean I've stop working on it, it just means most of the work I do is falls under the pre production category, and those things I'd like to keep for myself and a few selected friends. Creature Box - WOW!

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Final update on acting shot. This might be the very last opdate on this animation. It's due till sunday, but I only have tomorrow to work on it as well, and with a render time added on, I don't think I'll change anything. I learned a couple of "dos" and a hell of alot of "don'ts"! Anyways, check it out, and hopefully you like it. Thursday, May 21, 2009. I think I'm getting fairly close to finishing off this shot. Saturday, May 16, 2009. Another digital drawing, done in photoshop.

Christoffer's corner: Ninja animation WIP2
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2010/08/ninja-animation-wip2.html
Sunday, August 1, 2010. An update on the animation. I did a few changes and just generally put in a few more hours to polish the poses a bit more. Check it out here, by clicking the picture:. I gave the lighting a shot as well. Still a lot to tweak, especially in relation to the characters which are underlit, but I'm trying to keep rendertimes way down which is going great so far. Rendering with Maya Software render at around 1 minute a frame in 1280*720 at production quality (no motion blur, though).

Christoffer's corner: December 2009
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 20, 2009. A couple of character drawings. The production of my shortfilm is currently put on hold, mainly because I've decided to focus on getting an animation reel ready for spring (march/april), and don't want to "waste" time with character design and storyboarding. That being said, I still have a few moments here and there, when I'm doing nothing, and I'm trying to use these moments creatively and sketch a bit. The outcome of some of these precious "nothing" moments is the following:.

Christoffer's corner: animation shelf
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2010/03/animation-shelf.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. A non-animation update. sort of. I have an animation shelf in maya, that was populated with a bunch of standart maya shelf icons, for opening different animation related editors, and a few neat commands. There is really NOT much to it, but maybe someone can find it usefull. The icons looks like this:. Probably not the prettiest icons you'll ever see, but they are better than the standart maya ones. I trust you know where to put what ;). Hope you can find some use to it. Http:/ ww...

Christoffer's corner: November 2009
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. Today a bunch of us went down to a ice skate track to sketch people. It was quite a chill day, though beautifull and with warmth clothes there was no problem spending a couple of hours outsite. Here is the result that stands public viewing ;). Friday, November 13, 2009. This week we worked on a goofy animation. The focus was on weight, as he was supposed to lift a heavy stone. Here are my thumbnails of which I based my key drawings. And here is the final animation. Http:/ fai...

Christoffer's corner: July 2009
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 18, 2009. Final Weight lift exercise. Here is the final rendered version, animated in maya, rendered with mental ray, with rendertimes around 30 sec. on a super crappy laptop. I've really tried a new way of animating (the Jason Ryan way), so I feel I've learned a lot, which is probably the most important thing. I'm fairly happy with the results, although I see troubles a couple of places. I can't really be specific about it, so I can't really make any changes. Thursday, July 16, 2009.

Christoffer's corner: Bernard at bar
http://dofferdk.blogspot.com/2010/03/bernard-at-bar.html
Sunday, March 14, 2010. Another animation created about four days with lectures and such. This time around I chose Bernard from The Rescuers to animate. I had a hard time keeping it on model, I guess my 3d preference came through pretty clearly ;). Anyways, the story layout was, that the character is sitting in a bar waiting. That's it! I had a great time working on it, and got a chance to do some more subtle animation, which I absolutely love to do! Nough said, here it is:. View my complete profile.
