The Mystery Box - part of Falling Lizard 2011 from Kartika Mediani on Vimeo.

This past weekend was the Falling Wizard weekend, an annual animation event at The UCLA Animation Workshop. We all animated on one theme and the voted theme for this year was The Mystery Box

My classmates and I decided to do a group project. Ten of us (the other two didn't come out, busy with their own stuff) drew different kind of boxes, then we switched and animated from one box to another, and made everything to hooked up in a loop.

This is the clip that I contributed.

Adventure Play

One of the plays my sister and I used to play when we were little kids. We used badminton rackets, sat on a mattress and imagined we were on an adventure, in a huge wild river, in the middle of the jungle. Haha it was a lot of fun! Now my sister uses the racket to play badminton properly and well! I don't.. >__<
It was her birthday few days ago. So proud of you, Sis!

Final assignment for Intro to Animation class at The UCLA Animation Workshop.
Cell Painted and background was color pencil. Clean up was done with black sharpie marker. Shot under a digital camera. Based on the idea I've been sketching around: The blue fish that somehow lives in a balloon and belongs to a little girl.

Had a lot of fun with my classmates working so hard at the lab during Thanksgiving break to meet the deadline.

Winter break 2010

Some of the sketches I did during my Winter break. Yay SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 was so much fun! I tried to sketch out the Student Volunteer Office room but it didn't turn out well :( Then I got to see my family for a bit. It was a really packed break, and too short. My little brother helped me coloring the big white chunks on the last sketch.

Heart Puppeted

I've had this image in my head for these past few days.

Sketching it out was a good excuse to take a break from the realistic image I need to get done and studying for final exam. I should've used color pencil instead of col-erase though :/ or tried some paint.

Saudades

Some panels for my final for the storyboard class.
I had a hard time "writing" the story, many doodling and writing while on the bus and other places until I came up with a story I'd like to board.

Journey. Alone.
