Animation “Out of the Box” by AndyD

Posted on by

Out of The BoxFrom AndyD:
“It took two months of evenings to make but is the culmination of two years of messing with the character animation tools in Blender – although he’s a pretty simple model and rig so a lot of the tools weren’t used :)”

      Nice one! =D

      Even nicer when we remember that this is an entirely original production of AndyD.

      In my opinion, the camera movements are one of the best things in this animation. Very well positioned and timed.

      Congrats, AndyD!

      Yes, it’s very nice and funny!

      Congratulations AndyD !

    • Billions

      Great facial expressions!
      Didn’t lie the audience though, bbut I don’t hink you spent as much as time on the audience as you did on Barney… (Burney, lol)

      AndyD, that was great! How clever the jokes were and the animation was perfect. It is an inspiration to me. It is also amazing to me that you did it in the short time you did.
      Thanks.

      Thanks Tim and thanks everyone else. This project has been a mixture of fun and frustration but I’m glad I stuck with it. The response has been so positive I’m desperately searching for something to do next. With a bit more planning, I know I can do better (maybe not the jokes).

      “the jokes are so bad that are funny” He, he, that was the dastardly plan.

      Brilliant Andy! I have used a similar concept to show my students what they can produce with the character they make on the course. http://www.learnblender3d.com/
      Kevin the caterpillar does standup, his jokes are even worse!
      I will blog this on the site, show what can be achieved!

      Roy.

      Very clever and funny. Just the right amount of pun*ishment. Bernie seems to have a little Vinton quality about him. I’m impressed and inspired!

      Wonderful animation. Cheesy jokes – but cheesy in a good way. Kinda like “take my wife….please take her”

      Keep up the great work AndyD!
