slightly new reel!

demo reel summer 2010 from Jerry Chan on Vimeo.

the only things I can't claim in here are the music and some bits from Caldera (namely the turtle animation + models + rigs of the fish scene and the scene with the model/layout of the girl staring at the camera at the end). I did, however, animate 70+ fish for the turtle shot and I did animate the girl in the next shot.

oh dear god

so I'm doing a test animatic for the Tell Tale Games job application and I draw this



what is wrong with me

Here's a pose test for another math tutoring project I'm working on called "4mality"- as far as I know it's geared towards elementary/middle schoolers

I don't know why, but black is a sacred color to my brain/drawing arm so I usually end up roughing stuff out in blue.

You ever try to animate 50 little fish on screen at once?

I think I'm going blind and crazy (though the Bit Films crew is probably the best thing about this internship)

Also, hire me please!

Man. All-weekers are NOT fun


(me on thursday morning, trying to catch a nap on the lab tables. They're not comfortable at all)





4:00 AM, Friday: My arm + carpal tunnel is killing me, I'm falling alseep standing up, and I need to get this gallery space set up before I can finally pass out




7:00ish AM: It is finished!

I saw the sun set and rise at least 6 times that past week. Probably the most intense I've ever worked on a project and the furthest I've pushed myself so far in my life.




A little info on the gallery space: I HATE the way most art galleries are set up. Setting up things next to each other neatly on a white wall with black matting really removes that human element from the art and makes it cold and clinical, so my lovely girlfriend Sarah helped me tear off the face of a big piece of cardboard and I used the corrugations as a backdrop for my original concept art

Graduation, BEST IN SHOW!

I got Best in Show!

For my thesis film, silly. Every year, the UMass Art Department holds their "Junior/Senior Show" where d was selected for third place (studio arts) and tied for first place in best in show.

Wooo!

d online!
