Here are my next step of thumbnails. Added 2 more shots to the story. The next round of art work is going to be back to some animation. As much as I like telling stories I don't won't to forget about my bread and butter! So look for a blocked out scene in the coming days #animatortank #casefileseries #thumbnailing Case file 1: the case of the UFO lady

[tank58p]

Here is some quick thumbnailing for shot 2-4 for casefile #1 the case of the UFO lady. I bought some toy cars to help with my composition as I drew these thumbnails. #animatortank #thumbnailing #casefileseries

I wanted to post some art work but after finding out that the legend Muhammad Ali has past away I couldn't help but just sit and refect on his life. I been knowing his name almost as long as I known what boxing was. As a child wanting to be like Ali and Rocky Balboa I thought I could do it but my grandpa shot it down quick lol. Nonetheless I admired his charisma and take on life. It wasn't until I was older I realized the work he put in to being the best. Yet it wasn't until I became wiser to see who this man truly was. He wasn't just a great boxer He was a trailblazer for justice and truth. He put his career on the line to stand up for what he believed in. It wasn't his fights in the ring but his fights in life that I can write this and say thank you Muhammad Ali for being one of my heroes. Song playing in the background is from Nina Simone and its called why?(the king of love is dead) I felt this best described what I'm feeling at the moment. #restingreatness #muhammadali #myheroinlife

Did some thumbnailing for my next project. Case file #1 the case of the UFO Lady This is the first shot. I wanted to do a type of sound bridge(refrence my prologue) with the opening theme that segways right into the action. Shot 1 Will have a semi truck charge through the shot and once it leaves the field you will see a car sitting on the side of the road with its emergency lights on. #animatortank #storyboarding #thumbnailing #casefileseries

Here is a update on a animation I'm working on. I decided to put some music behind to help tellt he story. I used a basic 3 pt lighting to light my scene and I rendered it out in Maya hardware 2.0 since mental ray is still not working. This is the part of a animation were you refined it and polish it up. #animatortank #animation #swordinthestone #excalibur #polishing

For this storyboard I did some refining and made the shots clearer as well as extended the story some more. This is a prologue to a short series I'm currently scripting out that will leave the viewer guessing and wondering. Many of these accounts are from my own experiences from the past few years. Small fun and suspenseful stories that I get to tell my interpretation for you the audience. #storyboarding #animatortank #casefiles #theprologue #storyboard #animatic #animation

My rendition of slender man. I had to build the set, the model, rig the model, animate the model and camera, and light it. Maya wasn't my friend when I rendered it out. So I rendered it in maya hardware instead of mental ray since it wasn't working at all. Exported it to Photoshop and fixed the exposure the best I can. Once that was finished I went into premier and edit the audio and some effects! #slenderman #animation #animatortank #autodeskmaya #finalpiece

That time when it was just me and the open road. I was fortunate enough to watch the sun go down as I was moving back down south. Situations like this remind me of what I really want. #takemeback #tbt #Serenity

Probably one of the greatest and smartest albums of all time. You cant get anymore alternative hip hop than tribe called quest. #thelowendtheory gets better every time you play it. Any hip hop enthusiast need to get their hands on this album. I'm so glad my latest record Ben dive I was able to find this vinyl in pristine condition. #tribecalledquest #thelowendtheory #musthave #alternativehiphop

Storyboard is shaping up nicely. Been trying to focus on suspense taking from my favorite director Alfred Hitchcock. I wanted to add a twist in the story that could leave it up to interpretation to the audience. You can believe what you want to believe! #storyboarding #tanktheanimator

[tank58p]

Reworking a storyboard. Adding some detail to it and some clearer shots. I think I like the added story to this one. Stay tuned for the 2nd draft! #storyboarding #tanktheanimator #drawingfordays
