Alma

2009-05-25T20:43:00.007+02:00

Este es el título del primer corto de Rodrigo Blaas (animador en Pixar), que hace su debut como director.

Tuve la oportunidad de participar en este proyecto, como animador, cuando conocí a Rodrigo, mientras trabajaba en Keytoon.

Ahora mismo en la página web, sólo se puede ver una imagen de la protagonista, y una "review" hecha por Lee Unkrich, director de Toy Story 3!!! ^^
____________________________________________________

This is the title of a new shortfilm directed by Rodrigo Blaas (Pixar animator)

I had the pleasure to participate as an animator on this wonderful project, almost two years ago, when I met Rodrigo while I was working at Keytoon.

Right now you can see the webpage, with one image of the short and a first "review", made by Lee Unkrich, director of the upcoming Toy Story 3!!! ^^

The Missing Lynx reel

2009-05-12T00:42:00.009+02:00

At last the DVD is out in the stores, so I finally can show some of the scenes I did for this movie (the first one I worked ^^)

I did the animation of every character and props in the shots, and the animation was done in 1-2 days with character studio

I hope you like it ;)

Higher Resolution

-EE-

New images!! ^^

2009-04-01T01:18:00.003+02:00

A few images more from the shortfilm. One render, and three concepts of the characters

enjoy it ;)

Pd: I hope that I can post some animations soon :)

Death and the Maiden

2009-03-30T20:55:00.003+02:00

That's the tentative title of the next shortfilm, that Kandor Moon, is going to release through this year.

Directed by Javier Recio, tells the story of a "not too young maiden" and her meeting with the Death............ sorry, but I don't want to spoil you the story :p

I just finished to animate on this one the last week (right now we're in the preproduction of our next feature film "Goleor: the scales and the sword" )

In the shortfilm, we try to do our best, and I can swear you that the quality of the every aspect of the shortfilm are much better than of the "The Missing Lynx". I'm pretty happy with the animation we did. I learned a lot, and of course I had a lot of fun with these characters

Here's is the first pic

I will try to post as soon as possible some more pics or maybe some animations ;)

The Missing Lynx

2008-12-06T16:26:00.003+01:00

This is the first feature film that I worked on, and finally the first official trailer is up on the web.

You can watch it from here :

Trailer

Unfortunatelly nothing of my work is showed here (just some inbetweening work done on the lynx, while he is talking with Antonio Banderas), so you will have to wait to the theatrical release :p

-EE-

11Second Club

2008-11-07T20:41:00.003+01:00

Finally, I had some time to make a few changes to the animation that I presented for the September's 11secondclub contest.

I ended the 8th one. Yuhuuuuu!!!. Next time.....better hehehe.

I've made a little improvements on the lipsync, and in some of the poses, for better silhouette.
I've made a basic render, and "voilà"

If you want to see a Higher Resolution video, watch it here:

Killed Him

Like always, any comment will be welcome ;)

Testing Riggs

2008-07-12T21:56:00.000+02:00

Yeap!! This is a little animation I did to test the new rigg that Iker is doing for the new project at the studio.

It's an early version without all the features, but at this point the rigg is very friendly to work with it.

I can't wait to have the finished rigg, and start to making crazy animations ^.^

At last an update......an animation!!!

2008-06-12T22:03:00.000+02:00

I know this isn't the most updated blog, but you know..........I'm a busy man (more lazy than busy, hehe)

I finally finished a new animation. I've got the audio from the february contest of 11secondclub, but I could not finish the animation on time, and after a long time waiting, I got some extra time to finish it.

I hope you like it, and every comment you want to make me, will be very welcome ^_^

James Baxter......The God.

2007-12-07T22:48:00.000+01:00

Oh my god!! I just read this in Victor Navone's blog, and I can't resist to share this with you. The astonishing work, done by James Baxter's studio, on the film Enchanted.

Absolutely inspiring. Seeing this, I only can pray for the return of the good 2d animation, and the classic fairytales.......I just, miss them so much...snifff.

Enjoy this little piece of art.

Enchanted

Airwick

2007-10-20T19:13:00.000+02:00

Here is the shots that I had to animate for some TV spot of Airwick.

Hope you enjoy it.

Veggietales

2007-09-30T22:31:00.000+02:00

I finally can put online some of the works I did through the last year.

At Keytoon, we made a shortfilm of the famous Veggietales series. This shortfilm is a part of the DVD called "God Made You Special".

It was an interesting project that I think the final product has some really good points, like the illumination, or why not, the animation :P

I put in here some of the shots I did ;)

Enjoy!!

-EE-

Ok, some photos.

2007-09-30T13:50:00.001+02:00

I did, this last summer, a great trip with my very good friends Dani,Jor,Manu and Sonia. It was awesome all the things we saw there.

We visit in just a week, three big cities. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.

I just have a few photos, because I lost a lot of them when my computer crashed. But well, at least I have a few of them......

If you want to see some more photos, you can view it here part_01, here part_02, and here part_03 ;)

Cheers!!

What's going on!!!!????

2007-09-30T01:56:00.000+02:00

Yeah......I was lost lately, but I have some excuses ^^

First, I have a new job, as senior animator, at Kandor Graphics, working in my first movie The Myssing Lynx (yuhuuu!!!).

While I was at Keytoon, I learned a lot from my bosses, and workmates, it was an awesome year there. I worked in a very interesting projects and I met a very talented people, thanks to everybody :)

But life's go on, and I moved to Granada (a small but absolutely beautiful city). I enter into an amazing team of people, that work very hard, to make this movie possible. I know we can do it ;)

Tomorrow, or maybe the day after tomorrow :p ....I will update the blog with some new works I did, and maybe with some photos.

Well, until then.......... cheers!!

Just a Few Updates

2007-07-02T00:26:00.000+02:00

Yeap!. Just a minor updates.

I added my last animation into the demoreel, you can see it in my Animations section.

I make a new section with my resume in two formats (pdf and microsotf word)

And finally, I added the links of some friends (Edu & Jor), just take a look ;)

I hope to have something new to post soon!!!

-EE-

New Animation.

2007-04-19T21:46:00.000+02:00

At last I made a new animation!!!........yeah, I know, it's like a miracle :P

At work, I attended a great MasterClass by Dani Peixe. In that classes we have to make a "simple" exercise, and go through the whole process (Idea, sketches, golden poses, 2D animation for preview timing, 3D blocking, and final animation)

The idea, was very simple, we have to animate a guy, that see a box, pick it up, and........well, just take a look ;)

BOX

I hope you like it, and any comments will be welcome

-EE-

2007-03-19T17:31:00.000+01:00

I knew it.........in a few days, new trailer!! ^_^

It will be the same as the chinese trailer?....... It will have new scenes? arrrgghhhhhh!!! I can't wait to see the movie!!!!......... :P

Stay alert.

New Ratatouille Trailer!!!!! (with chinese subtitles ^^)

2007-03-16T10:58:00.000+01:00

UPDATE: As you can imagine, the video has been removed from Youtube. This time they were very fast :-P. I hope that a lot of you saw the video, if not........don't worry, I'm sure that in a few weeks they will release another one ^^

At least, We can see a new poster :P

Yeap, Watch it before Pixar-Disney, take out the trailer from youtube ;)

Or this link, if the above video don't work-------> Ratatouille

P.D: My opinion? Excellent like always. My only question........ Why the american or european trailers for these movies, are not like the oriental trailers.......they explain much more about the film, and makes you a more clear idea how the film will be?.

Well, enjoy it ;)

-EE-

Rapunzel Test!!!!

2007-02-13T00:28:00.000+01:00
