This is my final project for my 3D animation program at Dev Studios/PixelBlueFX in Edmonton. It involves bikes and dirt jumping, so I thought it would be appropriate for pinkbike. This project took me over a month with many 18-hour days of work. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think (keep it constructive, and remember i'm just starting out). Music by Micheal Andrews.

you have skills
nice animating skills
that was sweet. once i tried to make a animation of a guy throwing a ball to another guy but it sucked.
well theres my life story
well theres my life story
nice animation and models,rig,etc.. keep doing good jobs like that! (same comment at the same video you upload again, why you do that?)
This is great, you may have a future in animation that is if youre not in the field at the moment. The models were great looking, but the prairie dogs movement looked a little awkward. Except for that it was perfect, I enjoyed it alot!!!
wow!!! amazing animation, great to see your hard work really paid off, that is one sweet video, love it!
It's a prarie dog lol...but other than that...I think he should be making a DH vid next...or something with a MTB just to see suspension flow.
Thats what happens when you don't wear a helmet kids, a praire dog jams a stick in your spokes, WEAR A HELMET! 
mang i took that long to make thats shitty
but when i ride i kill gophers one time but it was an acident

Props!

Sweet animation for someone whos starting out. Would be even more awesome if you could smoothen out the movements of the bike mid-air abit but i dunno how hard that is, ive never animated anything haha. Keep at it dude!
you should try to get a job at pixar studios. they are always looking for good animators like you and its one of the top places in the world to work. VOD
This was an awesome video, Its crazy how this stuff can be done...and it did remind me of one of those mini pixar clips in there movies

what the hell? i thought there was a "No helmet no POD" rule!?!? hahahahahahahaha. wicked nice animation dude.
hahaha yea buddy no kidding! i thought the prairie dog was gonna tell him to put his lid on! either way, great job!
what i meant was this isnt a POD, gooieshred said "no helmet no POD", but this is a vod. oh well ill stop bitching
pretty neat, i could not imagine how frustrated i would get even thinking about attempting to make that
omg man thats now worth of vod,...

some very nice angles you've used and some very very nice modeling also im loving the back drop. some things i have to say tho is that the textures/materials are a bit repetitive or in some cases streached eg. the jumps. one more thing the air the character gets from the jump is a little bit jumpy but besides that is was a very very very good animation. im currently character modeling using blender and zbrush but im jsut doing stills with high detail.
agian congrats it was very good
it deserverd VOD

Did you motion capture the rider or just animate from scratch? really liked it whatever, plot is a little thin, but technically it's very polished.
You should apply for a job at Critical Mass in Calgary!
They are always looking for good flash tallent.

That's intense, imagine a video game with those graphics, that what you should do make a video game, a bmx video game.

you should totally do a sequal, where the biker get some revenge with a M-80(firecracker) or something
[Reply]
wow! props for the work that went into making that but this website is for real shit that you can do on a bike not what you can do on a computer thats bullshit!
The most entertaining VOD I've seen! The only thing that was as much fun was farmer Jack & the Athertons.
