Term is Over

so i continue to surprise myself. i was able to polish off my last assignment enough for nick say, "Final". which is a big deal in the industry, i think anyway. man its been such an amazing term. nick has definitely been the guy ive learned the most from since my time at AnimationMentor. he's improved my workflow and helped me train and fine tune my eye for good and bad animation. i cant thank him enough for all his support.

not sure who im gonna have next term, but im really stoked to get started. this term i get to add facial animation to the above mentioned shot and after that, animate two characters interacting in a sequence cuts! i already got my idea for that one, its unreal.

later

Busy Bee

week 311 starts today and the lecture was all about sincerity. be true to the character you are trying to convey and making it believable. its animation, it doesnt have to be real, it has to feel real.

i got one more week to polish up my shot and turn it in for my final critque from nick. and i still gotta work on the PBS short im doing. busy, busy month for me.

if you havent seen Surf's Up, go now! its so good. the animation the visuals and most importantly, the story. you forget they are penguins half way through the movie and just see them as characters. it was truely inspiring and gave pixar some stiff competition. good job sony! what will you do next?
