Swiss Quality Animation: Character
http://lukasniklaus.blogspot.com/2013/09/character.html
Montag, 23. September 2013. Today i saw this:. Not only is this very well engineered. What i find the most interesting here is, how he gave the box character. Its not just the stubborn machine like others weve seen that just turn themselves off. It has a mind of its own (a programmed one of course. but still) it even gets mixed up with itself at some point. I find that hilarious, refreshing and inspiring! I think that we should use this mindset for any animation we do. Mein Profil vollständig anzeigen.

Swiss Quality Animation: Februar 2013
http://lukasniklaus.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Donnerstag, 14. Februar 2013. Serious topics in animated films. I had to get sick to finally watch The Incredibles again. And while watching it, i noticed something i hadnt noticed before. But let me start somewhere else first. over a long time ive been complaining about studios not having the balls to put more adult material in their movies. That was one of the things that "disappointed" me the most in Brave. that there wouldve been a chance to make it much darker. Man Pixar. you just rock. :-). And i t...

Swiss Quality Animation: September 2013
http://lukasniklaus.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Freitag, 27. September 2013. Ive been practicing Python in the last couple of weeks and i wrote a little tool that i shared with my peers here at Framestore as well. Were animating run cycles and stuff where the characters main control is used for the movement in space. Which means, that feet have to be counter animated. Thats what this tool does. It either bakes the curves, or it keys the first and last frame in the range defined by the user and deletes all keys in between. Cheers and happy weekend.

Swiss Quality Animation: November 2013
http://lukasniklaus.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Freitag, 22. November 2013. Why Animation Mentor is still #1. When i started AM, ther werent even half the online courses out there than there are today. It was an easy choice where to go and im so glad it was that easy. Animation Mentor is in my opinion the best online animation education out there and also tops many brick and mortar schools with ease. Im writing this to tell people that the exact opposite is the case. There are other courses like Animation collaborative or the just recently opened Anim...

Donnerstag, 16. Mai 2013. Ive won a Green Card. what now? So im one of the selected people of this years Green Card Lottery. Im still halfway paralized and dont know what to do first and what to think at all.

Swiss Quality Animation: August 2013
http://lukasniklaus.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Mittwoch, 21. August 2013. Today im already three months into my Framestore adventure, and i still find it hard to describe what i feel. As a student or later when i was working in my first two animation jobs, i had this picture in mind on how it would be, to work in a world class studio. And now that im here, i have to realize. it is even better. The company itself is so professional but still feels like a family. I am completely overwhelmed by the sense of achievement, humility and joy. This is the fir...

Swiss Quality Animation: How much i love Pixar
http://lukasniklaus.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-much-i-love-pixar.html
Freitag, 16. August 2013. How much i love Pixar. Today a coworker sent me these two videos. Everyone knows how crazy i am about Pixar. but well. it got me all weepy and i had to tell someone, so i messaged the videos to another amazing friend here. I wanted to share that little breakout. Its hard to find words for how much i love my job already. These guys really touched me. with amazing stories and characters, but even more with amazing art and craftsmanship. There is no other place like Pixar.
