Danny ~ Can You Believe It!

Here comes Mr. Danny with his new move "Can You Believe It!

The shot was beautifully animated by Manish Shakya, light and render by Manish Gurung and ofcourse the compositing done by me :)

Hope you all enjoy and like it!

P.S. We could have pushed the animation a tad bit more with more exaggeration and emotion to make it more interesting and appealing. But we tried to keep it simple yet compelling with little movement as it was directed. Stay tuned as more of Danny's mischievous acting will be featured soon :)

Mr. Danny

Hi Folks! I am pleased to present Danny our newest character which will be featuring in our Advance Body Mechanics and Acting Workshops at Puppeteer Lounge.

Character Animation Reel 2011 ~ Manish Shakya

Latest character animation reel by Manish Shakya showcasing some of his previous works and skills. Manish is currently a mentor at Puppeteer Lounge for Animation Workshops.

Animation Workshop

Puppeteer Lounge is pleased to announce Animation Workshops! Puppeteer Lounge started off initially as a character rigging training workshop but with the demand from our passionate students, we have kicked off the animation training workshop starting from the date of our 1st successful anniversary. Initially we will be starting off with Workshop 1 "BASIC FOUNDATION" and Workshop 2 "BODY MECHANICS" :)

These workshops will be personally guided and mentored by Manish Shakya, an aspiring animator who have over 3 years experience as a character animator working for Incessant Rain Animation Studio. He is currently working as a freelance animator for Escape Animation and is also doing his graduation from Animation Mentor! He also did some of the animation work for the characters from the rigging workshop. Welcome aboard Manish :)

Body Mechanics Reel by Manish Shakya

Here is another fine piece of character animation reel for advance body mechanics by Manish Shakya! The video is a bit choppy though, guess it's some codec or frame-rate issue on vimeo...

TEJO ~ Muscle Simulation

A little while I posted a link about a WIP image of  TEJO rig! Now here it is, the beast is finally alive. Muscle simulation done using Maya Muscle. Animation was done by Manish Shakya, currently graduating from Animation Mentor! Cheers :)

Manish Shakya ~ Leaping the Stairways of Animation Mentor!

Ok here is an interesting demo video showcasing some of the Basic Foundation animation by Manish, my Nephew! This is not something new, we have seen a lot of wonderful demo videos from Animation Mentor students. Well, here is the twist; this demo is probably and most certainly one of the only and very first student reel from a Nepalese student studying at Animation Mentor. Manish has always been a very passionate and dedicated artist and he is thriving to become a successful animator. I have known this kid from his childhood days. He grew up watching Japanese Anime and Classic Disney Animation. Oh yeah, we used to play a lot of video games for sure and we still do! Wishing him the very best!!!

GOOD LUCK Bhanje :)
