Attempted Works

Monday's amirite?

2011-12-22T17:45:00.000-08:00

Gio reminded me I have a blog... so here's a quickie.

Needs some major polish work, but it's a start...ish.

apologies for tiny video... blame my scapegoat.

Incepted Hammy

Here it is for those who kept asking to see it.

A Dog Day Afternoon

2011-08-22T15:00:00.000-07:00

So... This past year, I have been working on my thesis film. Today... it is finished... Well the pencil test portion of the film. Next... just need to color it up, and Wam bam thank you spam!

So here's a trailer for my film, that I accidentally made, while editing, and thought, "heh... that's pretty funny."

Betta have mah monay!

My walk cycle for the p-0 class at school.

You can see this guy over on Crenshaw, with dem hot ass coat hangers.

And here's just a 1-2 min sketch, from a workshop?

Deleted Scene

2011-02-26T18:38:00.000-08:00

My friend Joao is working on his thesis and I decided to roughly animate a quick scene for him after being inspired by one of his storyboards. This shot is when a soldier goes to help little ol Squirt off the boat and meets an unfortunate end.

Update?

2010-12-16T19:49:00.000-08:00

Haven't posted in a while...so here are some quickies that I sketched out because I didn't feel like working at that particular moment..

Here's Gio, drawing in his natural environment... Those are actual posters Gio has laying around... I don't know why... just ask him.

While sitting in class..

And sadly... the 1st and last clothed figure drawings I have done all year... kind of disappointed in myself that it took nearly 12 months to actually draw in a workshop..

Test Cycle

2010-11-17T21:13:00.000-08:00

Experimenting with animating in Photoshop. So far... Don't know exactly what I'm doing, but I decided to try and do a real quick test of how my wittle dog will run.

And also, I haven't posted anything a long time.

Mid Point Passed!

2010-07-17T17:10:00.000-07:00

Here is my animatic for my thesis project:

And here are some facial expressions for the main characters in the short:

Don't Judge me!

Potassium

2010-06-07T10:52:00.000-07:00

I know. It's been a while since I posted anything. I'm in the process of scanning in some new pieces as well as some new animations as well. So in the mean time, enjoy this old zombie banana animation I did a while back when I just started messing with flash.

A group of friends and myself have put together a collection of short comics, that will be shown at Wondercon this year. (image above) The book has some really incredible pieces of work done by a wide range of artist here. And yes... I'll have a story too, but just glaze over it and buy the book for everyone else's pwetty kool shtuff!

We will be located here:

Anyway, enjoy, stop by and yep!

Done!

2009-12-16T11:28:00.000-08:00

Well school is almost done... but best of all, the Fall Animation Festival Intro that we have worked on for about 11 months has been completed and has been viewed at the festival. It's really something else to view all that hard work played on the semi big screen! The intro was directed by Guillermo Martinez, who did a fantastic job! So congrats to him and everyone who helped complete this large arse project!

Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather gave it 2 snaps a twist and a kiss!

Animated a walk cycle with "personality" along with a dog walk.

Cloth Fig

2009-08-29T23:57:00.000-07:00

Just a few Cloth Figs from last semester...

1st flash animation!

2009-07-30T00:18:00.000-07:00

Since I'm not working on FAF at the moment, I decided to dip my tablet pen into some good ol/new fashion flash. And what better way to pop my flash virginity than to animate a baby getting hadoukened. So. I give you my very 1st flash animation! Woot!

Raptors! (He said it not me)

2009-07-05T01:59:00.000-07:00

Went to the zoo today. The only pics here are of the golden eagle and bald eagle. My god... gorgeous! Look at the feathers on the neck if the quality allows it.

expressions and eye darts

2009-04-30T23:31:00.001-07:00

Haven't played with bishop in a while, so I decided to have some fun practicing change in expressions and subtle eye darts(which were the biggest pain for me when I 1st tried it). It isn't perfect, but live and learn, I presume.

more bwains.

2009-04-23T16:22:00.001-07:00

This is my zombay, from color and design class. The assignment was to use a specific color scheme to represent form.

colors are a little muted, since it's a photo from my cell, but bwains indeed.

Bear Man

2009-04-15T19:25:00.000-07:00

Found this little guy lying around.

It could also be a self portrait! dun dun duuuuun

Just a head

2009-03-30T16:18:00.000-07:00

Just dumping a head onto here. This is my 1st tonal paper drawing evar! I actually enjoyed it a lot more than working with just charcoal and white paper.

Cheers

Animation Dump!

2009-03-29T22:01:00.000-07:00

Haven't posted anything in a long time. This was the 1st short I did here at AAU, during the Character Animation 2 class. Taught by Ed Gutierrez. Can't remember if I spelt his name right in the short or not. Wait. I did. Anyways, going to throw in a few inbetweens here and there before I submit the thing for the spring show.

And here is one of the assignments from AM. Needs tweaks here and there as well as more balls, but proud none the less for completing it. But speaking of AM. The class 2 refresher course is all done! ::sniffles:: Peter Kelly was an awesome Mentor! Learned loads from him! If you are reading this, Pete... HI!

Cheers!

One too many...

2009-01-28T21:26:00.000-08:00

1st animation assignment of z year!

Assignment was to have your character do a 180 degree turn.

Plop!

Productive!

2008-11-18T00:35:00.000-08:00

Today, I pumped out an entire 3D animation clip in approximately 8-9 hours! Used to take me weeks! It still needs some tweaks here and there, but I'm proud of myself none the less for getting it done.

Just some quick figure drawings studies from todays workshop...

He did it!!!

2008-11-05T02:05:00.000-08:00

Just a quick congrats to Spike for winning the election! See you in space cowboy...

The following animation is a few months old... I basically just redid an old AM assignment from a while back... surprisingly, I was able to do it in 1 day... go straight through animation!

i'll post the 2D animation stuff in the next week or two... when it should be completed.. Don't really feel like uploading bits and pieces of it, with out the whole story to back it up. So in the mean time here is an old study:

okay... no more old stuff in coming post... i swear... just wanted to throw these out there... for kicks.

I told you I would!

2008-11-03T19:45:00.000-08:00

Well... I said I would dump some things... so here are some things...

These are mainly from figure drawing workshops that I try to attend:

Well not this one... just facial expression tests for Walter, from Big Lebowski, for my Visual Elements of Story class.
And my conception of the nihilist from the Big Lebowski.
braaaaaiiiinnnnssss.

That's it for now... animations to come next time...

A brief RE-introduction!

2008-11-02T20:01:00.000-08:00

Well... I am either technologically retarded or I am blogger retarded... but either way. Lets give this a try. My old blogger account won't allow me to access/edit/add/seduce so I shall be starting a new account on here. I will try to update at least once a week, unlike my previously updates of once every few months or so.

From when I last left off, I believe I was just finishing class 3 of AnimationMentor.com. Well.. surprise surprise... I have graduated AM! Well.. I graduated in January of this year. So it was quite some time ago. I have loads more of animationmentor and post-animationmentor animations to quietly show, but that shall come next update, when I just start plopping everything on here and start to shut up.

So on to introductions:

I'm Kris Behr. I am currently living in San Francisco while working on my Masters in Visual Development at AAU. Prior to coming up to SF, I studied at a state school in So.Cal. for my B.A. while I also attended Animationmentor.com simultaniously.

Anyways... that's all for now.
