I really want to uppercut Lebron
So this little video took some time to complete. The assignment was to create a short little video displaying some of your interests or hobbies, and I decided I wanted to spend some time on it. I decided early that I wanted to do at least three different scenes, and I just quickly brainstormed some ideas and came up with:
1) Basketball - I like playing and I watch more Laker games (plus some others I deem to have a chance of being entertaining) than is probably medically recommended.
2) Video games - I'm a video game nerd to put it bluntly. Played a lot of them (and I mean a lot). And while I don't play them anywhere near as much as I used to because I spend a lot more time with my girlfriend or working on other things, I still have a soft spot for them somewhere in this xbox-360 shaped heart of mine and I still love playing great games when they come out and I find time for them. Gamertag: Cable387...look me up.
3) MMA - I probably started becoming a fan of the sport around UFC 67 or so. From then on, I devoured it. Most people know MMA only as "oh, that UFC thing right?" but there are many organizations and I devoured a lot of it. One day while watching a WEC event, they mentioned a fighter fighting out of a gym near me. I went in and signed up the next day. Lost a ton of weight and still love the sport it easily made the biography reel.
All the art in the video was created in Illustrator. Just did some rough sketching and came up with some simple drawings to recreate in Illustrator to match the humorous theme I knew I was going with. I created the environments, the characters and various poses they would need, and then animated them all in After Effects. Last step was taking the quick snapshots of my facial expressions to plug in and once those were done and inserted, I had a video I liked. Music is too quiet so I'll get around to fixing that or maybe adding more scenes in the future, but I like what I ended up with.
