Graffiti animation? In Buenos Aires, BLU has drawn… painted… I mean this achievement is… I… I cannot begin to imagine the amount of work required to pull this off… I just… I’m speechless.
Just watch the video already.
More info on BLU’s other work can be found here.
Carlos has been animating for 8 years now and most animators are familiar with his work. CGTalk has an “Meet the Artist” thread where he’s doing a little Q&A. I find his responses quite inspiring and would recommend checking it out.
CGTalk’s Meet the Artist
Unfortunately it looks like his Fingerboarder site is down. Was an entertaining vid that you might be able to track down… somewhere.
Claus, a very talented and technical animator friend of mine and I were talking of the recent events in the company. We were talking about some key things that can really set most rigs apart from the standard. This includes custom icons (locators) instead of just NURBS curves, or broken hierarchies which make it easier to post character silhouettes to camera.
He told me that his favorite rigger was a Masaki Togashi. I looked him up and apparently he was the sole rigger on Ghost in the Shell 2. I guess the guy really knew his stuff, though other riggers found him difficult to work with. A “my way or the highway” approach. In his defense, I can understand what it’s like what you try and go outside the normal boundaries in order to make innovations. Hope to meet the guy one day.
