Kidmang Ollie Animation


Sunday, June 27, 2010

Kidmang does a text book ollie over a sidewalk crack.

Kidmang shows how to ollie on a skateboard. Here are a few of his tips for developing a good ollie:

  • Do super fast small ollies for balance and control.
  • Don’t practice stand still tricks. You can develop bad habits and balance.
  • Don’t crouch down too much. You need only bend down slightly.
  • Don’t try to do huge ollies all the time.
  • Stay relaxed and keep it easy.

Classic Animation: Hedgehog in the Fog


Friday, April 9, 2010

Hedgehog in the Fog is a classic Russian animation by Yuri Norstein (1975). A coworker of mine, a Georgian designer, introduced me to Yuri Norstein’s works a couple years back. He is definitely one of my favorite animators and a source of inspiration. I love the feeling of this animation, the characters and artwork. As an animator, I really appreciate how incredibly difficult it is to create something this nuanced, sophisticated and beautiful. A true masterpiece and one of my all time favorite animations!
