i cannot wait to visit ryan in prison...

blocking for my next shot.

hilarious

so funny

sweet.

so this past week the final pantomime piece was done and this is what i turned in.


so, there are still things that i think need to be worked on so i'm gonna try and get that done this week. we're also starting a new project now with lip synch so i've been trying to find some interesting 5-10 second long one person lines. harder than i thought it would be. last time i did lip synch was junior year in college and i knew right off the bat what i wanted to do... so that made it way easier! but i gotta do video ref for 3 different lines and thumbnails and revise the animation.

friday night i went to the andrew bird concert in orlando which was phenomenal! like.. mind blowing. i was kinda nervous to go bc i felt like i had so much to do and its orlando so thats like a 2 hr drive each way. but i went and am so glad-- it was awesome to see some of my o-town friends and the concert was totally inspiring.
some videos from the orlando show.. gotta love youtube!




yep awesome

c3!

so it's week 5 [already!!] of class 3! my mentor this term is nick bruno from blue sky. so far its been a pretty intense term... but also awesome!
final for pantomime is due this sunday so i got my work cut out for me.

this was the blocking.

i was student of the week with this one! haha i was so pumped.

and here's the first pass at splining..


this was brief. back to work..

yata!

i finished class 2! hoorayyyy

coffee :)

this is fantastic!

week 10? already??

i did it! i finished my blocking plus and handed it in on time. this week was basically a huge struggle the whole time. i tried to take all the notes i was given by my mentor and peers and really get it into this pass.


obviously there is still a lot of work to be done, but i feel like its a big improvement on what i turned in last week.

i ordered two books online and got them in last week which was pretty exciting. they're both really cool... eric goldberg's character animation crash course! and dan romanelli's draw the looney tunes. bryan recommended the looney tunes one. actually i don't know if i ever mentioned him before in my blogs which is silly, i should have. my mentor this term is bryan engram. he works at reel fx and is a really great mentor! last term i had nicole herr as a mentor and she was great as well. fun stuff, i love animation mentor. really really fantastic program.

anyway, i'll try to post a video of my shot from last week. time is flying! can't believe it's already week 10 and then its on to class 3! gonna go watch heroes now, how i met your mother was a repeat or i'd watch that too. yay monday night tv!
