2010 Animation Reel

Liam Robinson Animation Reel 2010 from Liam Robinson on Vimeo.




When I started this I had almost completed my reel during a 2 week vacation from work and then on the last two days of my vacation my computer just went and died. THANKFULLY, the apple store techs (after a week, lost work time and some negotiations) were able to save everything from my old computer and placed it onto a brand spanking new computer worth $3000 for absolutely free. Although, the new computer came with a few hiccups and I found out the hard way that Flash CS4 and Mac OS Snow Leopard don't play well together (which caused me to get backed up on work, again). But after that migraine and work coming down on me, I was able to finish the reel. Since then, I've been trying to upload my 2010 animation reel onto my blog, but for some reason it would get stuck in the uploading cycle. So I gave up and tried the round about way of doing it...I created a Vimeo account and uploaded it there which uploaded it without any problems, from there I just embedded the video.

So enjoy!

I created this with the use of iMovie. I credited the music to Anamanaguchi, a techno band which specializes in 8bit sounds.

I know its a little Wordgirl heavy, but really, that's all I've been working on for the most part of my career. Since Flash has not fixed its quicktime conversion, I'm not able to get any good quality out of my old Time Warp Trio work, I know there is some good storyboards amongst that stuff at the very least. Too bad, I'll have to work around that issue some how.
