Cooking Mama from Kachi Riggs on Vimeo.

I drew the cloud and edited out the backgrounds to the Mamas in Photoshop. The rest was movie magic. I wish I could have found a better picture of the angry Mama. She looks so gross and pixel-y in the animation. And once again it looks like the video is stalling a little bit in Vimeo. I still don't know how to change that...

Lucky you! You guys get two uploads instead of just one. Actually, if this were the proper place to explain how totally insane everything has been in the past two weeks, I totally would, but I'll just cut to the chase and post the shorties for AE 3D and word animations.


Girl Boxer from Kachi Riggs on Vimeo.

I really wanted to add sound to this one. If I did, it would go something like this:
Boxer: What? What? Yeah, check it! Can't touch this! Nuh-uh! Too fast, like lightning! Like a bullet, like-
*punch!*
Other Boxer: Oh-Ohhh... Oh my God, is she okay?

I liked how the other boxer was always a step or two behind. The illo for the girl was supposed to look like me. If I were boxing, I totally wouldn't forget a mouth guard! ten years of orthodontics teaches you to take good care of your pearlies.



カチ　Animation from Kachi Riggs on Vimeo.

I don't really know what vimeo did to the video after it was uploaded. It cut off about half a second from the beginning to the end, and it's obviously laggy. The video on my comp turned out just fine, though. I don't really know how to fix this, or if this is a vimeo problem that's out of my hands...

Anyway, this was another project that I wanted to add a really creepy background track to. I don't really know why a lot of my projects come out looked kinda creepy. I don't really like scary stuff at all, honest. I told my roommate that the scariest movie I've ever seen was Shaun of the Dead, and she laughed at me. I always have to turn my eyes when David gets torn apart...
