Reference Vids

Here's a vid showing how to ollie which is great as it shows them in slowmotion clear enough for me to see how to animate the ollie.










Exactly the camera angles I am looking for in some scenes.


The Animatrix - Kid's Story
This is a similar feel of animation I want in relation to the realism of the characters, however still wanting to simplyfy the characters more and having much less detail on everything in my animation except for the skateboards.

(Personal note:
2:41-3:10
5:24:6:14)

Greatest Tricks

(Personal note:
0:10-0:17
0:30-0:39
0:42-0:45
1:39-1:42
1:47-1:53
2:11-2:14
3:36)

GAME

The menu video from the Xbox 360 game: Skate 2. I really like the angles and the way that it's been edited to the music, but I'm not sure if that would be the best option for my animation.

SKATE 3 intro - video is very similar to how I would want my animation - having him skate towards a destination while performing tricks inbetween but also showing the city and how everything is skateboard based.
This is a video of my cousin and me going down a hill on our skateboards. I thought that it would make a good scene from first person view and would also give me the sound of the skateboards rolling.

This is just another hill that we went down.

My cousin going down a small ramp... just looking for ideas for the animation scenes.


Me Ollieing off of a small fun box, just for the panning shot really and the ollie could have then been exagerated and more could have been added in the animation to make it look much much better.
