1. Bridge Trailer

by Ting

1 year ago

This is my animation Thesis Film done during my time at the Academy of Art University 2010. :)

Bridge is a story about four animal characters trying to cross a bridge, but ending up as obstacles to one another in the process. The moral behind this story revolves around how there are often disagreements or competing paths in life, and the possible results of pride, obstinance, and compromise.

Music by Greg Gauba.

Note: I noticed some websites have been featuring my work around, I am grateful for it. I also appreciate all feedbacks, critiques and comments! But some websites have mistaken that I worked for Pixar, which is a misunderstanding and it is not true. I just wish to correct that. : )

I can't imagine the work you had rigging 4 different characters and then animating them... Your making of is awesome too
Ting 6 months ago

Ting 6 months ago

Sorry I missed this comment, sadly at the moment I am a bit tied up for collaboration, but I am always excited to work with musicians and sound designers. Perhaps once things stabilize for me I may consider it? Thanks for asking though! :)

Juan Pablo 6 months ago

Great Great short I would like and need to know how did you do the grass!
Ting 6 months ago

Hi Juan! Here's a making of that showed how I did the grass a little. vimeo.com/27301731
I mainly broke the grass into a lot of layers, and used distortion mesh and animated each layer individually.

livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/8.0/help.html?content=WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a9d3c597-7b81.html
My methods are all extremely simple, so anyone can do it. :) Hope that helps!!
Juan Pablo 6 months ago

Thanx a lot I´m doing a short and I need a cartoony, simple and not much render consuming method to make grass, and your grass is beautiful I´m sure it will help a lot. Thanx again!

Great video man really loved the whole look and feel...
BTW that racoon character really seems great you should keep developing him and work on a different clip which has him as the main character.
Ting 6 months ago

Thanks Aditya!! :) I did further developed these characters, and trying to find time to work on them soon. Perhaps some more animation tests with them as well! I'm also glad to hear you liked the Raccoon! He seems most popular among my friends as well. Haha!
Thanks so much for your comments too!! :)

Sally 6 months ago

A metaphor for life!! Using a bridge is a nice symbol too about one's life path to their destination, and facing others, overcoming them. Good message, thanks so much!

AMAZING!! Reminds me of Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." As well as the concept: The first shall be last. You are very gifted; well done.

Mac or Pc?
Kristin Marie Olson 6 months ago

See 2:31, "Hardwares," :)
Rolando Garcia 6 months ago

Thank you very much.
I really hope one day someone answer mac ..
Ting 6 months ago

Hi Rolanda, I do have friends in school that used Mac to complete their film. The PC computers are more common in my school lab, and I needed 10 of them to render in the time span of 2 months every night then! At big studios Linux is common. I don't think PC or Mac, Linux etc would be an issue to finishing a film so long the software can help you get things done! :)

Thanks Kristin! ^^
