3d animations by Anthony Mcgrath

3d animation I did a while back (like 4 or 5 years ago hehe!) of a skater doing a few tricks.
Animation is quite poor now but thought I’d youtube it anyhow. all done in Maya and comp’d together in Adobe Afx. Did want to do a more advanced version of this but didn’t get any spare time.
A few years ago I did a skating animation that was quite popular. It got a few nice comments on here and it seemed to go down well with alot of skaters.
Anyhow I decided it would be fun to return to a similar project seeing as I’ve been working as a character animator for the last couple of years, and see how I tackle a similar piece this time around. I think my animation skills are a fair bit better than the first one I did but anyhow I’ll let viewers decide :)
The piece is twice as long as the last one and i tried to do some shots where the character would go from one trick into another or make it look like it was filmed by a friend in places so there are no fancy camera motions.
The project was animated & rendered in maya and edited in Adobe Afx.
Audio track is Medicine Man by Playgroup.
Thanks Tsc (forums ; Nissan Skyline VS Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth animations availiable).
