5th Place!!

Now obviously 5th place isn't as good as getting the coveted top 3, however I'm still really happy!

The first time I entered I barely could move a character, let alone make one that someone could enjoy watching.

Anyway, here's my entry!!

From 112th, to 5th :)

Another Tease!

I say the word tease lightly, you have to be interested to be teased.

Anyway, here's a render of the shot I just finished! It's not good - but it's better than the last one. I'll post the shot itself once I find out how I placed in the 11SecondClub.

Something I'm working on!

It may or may not be a shot at redeeming myself after my last, poorly done 11 Second Club entry...

11 Second Club June 2011

Here's my final (poorly) lit entry:



And for those interested, here's a progression video:



Overall I'm not pleased. I don't think that there are many hitches in the movements or anything looking too weird, but this piece made me realize I need to spend way more time planning. The acting is atrocious! It's so boring and bland and not nearly pushed enough.

I'm pretty sure I'll be entering this months contest though, and if I do I'm going to definitely try and push the performance.

Also, wound up in 52nd place.

So now my standings are:
112/160 ~ 3.31 stars
83/188 ~ 4.97 stars
52/191 ~ 5.26 stars

So at least I'm improving!

Law Class Caricature

So when I'm not listening to my awesome law teacher explain the inner workings of the Canadian legal system, I put my head down and draw myself.

Bigger Update!

First off! Here's some actual animation!
This is kinda my demo reel coming off iAnimate, minus one shot which I need to fix up due to a render mishap.

iA Reel from omar elhindi on Vimeo.

It's not terrible! I'm happy with it for the most part at least.


So actual update-wise, I was unfortunately rejected by Sheridan. Sucks.
Oh well, there's still a chance for me to get offered their art fundamentals program, and if I don't then I'm off to St Clair college, and maybe re enroll in iAnimate! I miss it there, it was a ton of fun and I learned a lot in a really short time.

Anyway, that's it for now! Hopefully my posts will be a bit more frequent :)
