Knight Rider

This is my new Storyboard of Knight Rider. I was given a task to make a storyboard from a script. I choose Knight Rider, because it sounded interesting to me and also gave me some nice Ideas. Before the actual product I made thumbnails to visualize the story better. After which, I made the actual storyboard. It took me about a week to do. Since I am not very good at drawing I made everything using Photoshop. Still it is not perfect, but I guess thats normal. After all I am in university.

Here is my new animation. It is a cartoon take with the cubey character.

Drawings

These are some portraits I did on paper.

This is my latest storyboard.

Clouds

To create this cloudy effect I drew a lot of white and black streaks on a blue background. After that I aplied surface blur with photoshop.

Just a quick sketch i did of a warrior. It did not look very good so I decided to add some effects with photoshop.

Cubey Animation

This is my latest 2d animation. We had an assignment to do a animation with a cubey character. 

This is the result.

Cartoon girl

Here is a little bit different style I tried.

Rain

Another drawing finished.

Runner drawing

This is my latest drawing. I drew the runner with a pen tablet. Then I added a flame effect using Photoshop.

The things that I still need to be more careful of are the proportions of the body. 

These are some of my old videos.

3D Animation

I entered a competition in 2009 with a friend. This video is my contribution to the project. I made this with After Effects,Photoshop, Sony Vegas and 3ds Max. It took me about 2 weeks to make it. In steps created the story, then I had to model the scene and figure out how to apply a rendered After Effects footage into the 3ds max material library. When that was finished I attached a free camera to a biped's head. The Idea was that the spectator would watch from the point of view of the robot. This was probably the hardest part considering all the things that were mobile in the scene and all of the interactions that the biped had to make with different objects. These interactions  then had to be synchronized with the footage from After Effects. In the end the hard work was worth it.

In 2010 I entered the same competition. This time I was alone, so I had to make the whole project by myself. Again it was mady by 3ds max, Photoshop, Sony Vegas and After Effects. This video is about the pollution of the enviroment and futuristic solutions to this problem. Here the problem was that there were many scenes which had to be rendered and my PC was quite slow. The funny thing was that in the end I had about an hour to apply sound to the video and to send the whole project to the competition.

I this one I tried to make a bullet penetrating a vase. However the one think that I could not figure out was how to make the the object crack and break at the exact moment the bullet collides with it.

This one was for a school project. My part was to model and make Leonardo Da Vinci's machines. So this is Da Vinci's machine gun. I made it using 3ds Max. 

This is only a model of nokia 5800, which I built in 3ds max.

VFX

This videos were some of my first. Back then I was trying to figure out how to use camera tracking. The difficulty was that my camera could not shoot in HD, so the tracking software was  struggling to get it right.
These effects are not very good made, but back then it was a definite step forward.

This is a drawing of an eye. I used a pen tablet to create the shape and then I added effects using photoshop.

This is a drawing of spider-man I did with my pen tablet. It is not perfect but I am still learning.

3D Ball Animations

These are my first videos of a bowling ball and a football in Maya.

Football animation

This video is the result of my second task.

Morph movie

This is the complete morph movie. Enjoy!

This video presents my first task. All the digital animation students had to take part in a small morph movie. Each student contributed by making a 12 frame video, which then was composited together with the other.

Hi guys! My name is Georgi Urumov and I am studying Digital Animation at Falmouth university.
