Dancing Koala

Koala Dance from Chad Bierdeman on Vimeo.

   My brothers studio name is Kitchen Dance Studio and its name has always been based on this dance. The maskot for the studio name is a koala.  Therefore I created this dancing Koala lol

   There currently isn't any sound.  My bro is working on creating some succulent sounds for your ear holes. So in the mean time, enjoy these visually tantalizing dance steps

Not that way! Animation Practice

August 2012 11 Second CLub Submission

During the month of August for some added fun I took part in the 11 Second Clubs competition.  I of course chose to do my piece with 2d animation.

The first thing to do was to listen to the sound and get an idea of what is being said. Why it's being said, and what else might be happening in the background. From that I started designing characters. A lot of characters.

The guy in the orange hat I saw riding a motorcycle while I was downtown and thought he looked like a cool design that I needed to draw.  So I wrote down his description then drew him later that night. So he's simply included for the fun of it. 

I then narrowed it down to the characters beneath. 

After character design I story boarded and animated. I hope you enjoy the final video. If you would like to vote you can do so on their website 11secondclub.com
