Creature Head Mask
Posted on March 23rd, 2010 by barry
This is the progress so far from the creature workshop I’ve been taking, taught by the awesome creature designer Jordu Schell. This being the 2nd sculpture I’ve ever done, and you know what? it didn’t turn out too shabby. In the final class I’ll be pouring in the latex to produce a mask ready for painting and final touches.
If your’e in the LA area, and can’t help but create stuff, be it drawing, painting, 3d modeling, whatever, you should take this class. I’m taking it again, just to keep around talented people, to keep me inspired and on my toes. Check it out at www.schellstudio.com

This was the last pass I did at my killer whale monster from last POST. From marker sketch to color, possibly for sculpt.
Creature Head Concept - Killer Whale Monster
Posted on March 22nd, 2010 by barry
Given killer whales were topical as of late, and I was in a creature sculpting class taught by the amazing Jordu Schell, a killer whale monster seemed like a decent challenge. They are already very alien like, given the cow like pattern on an aquatic creature, which works as a predatory mechanism to disguise its shape. Anyways blah blah, those are the sketches I came up with on a first pass

Popzilla Opening Title Sequence - Animatic to Final Cut
Posted on March 20th, 2010 by barry
Here’s a breakdown of the opening titles I created for Mtv’s Popzilla. Once we came up with the concept, myself and director Rob Fendler, I put together the animatic for the proposed sequence. Using rough jpegs for BGs, and character storyboards drawn by myself and Rob, (the character designs are rather simple, so simple line figures do the job) I composite, add the camera moves, edit, and time out the sequence for a rough version of our 30 sec opening titles.
Here’s the animatic for the opening titles.
Once the animatic is approved, it goes out to a background artist Carl Reed, and Character Animator Kat Kosmala. Then I take their BGs and animation and I put the whole thing together, with camera moves, effects, motion graphics, sound and music. The final result looks like this:
