Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Have a blast tomorrow. Yeah!

New Quarter, New Mentor

Hey everybody!

I started the new quarter at Animation Mentor and I have finished my first assignment. It was to create a walk with "Stewie" the no arm animation puppet. You might say, "Hey! Your puppet needs some arms", but I would reply that fewer body parts means fewer things to animate. Freak yeah! I am a lazy lazy animator.

Here is my animation. It is just in blocking mode right now. In the next couple of weeks I am going to be adding an anticipated start and smoothing out the animation. Rock!

I have also had my first Q&A with my new mentor. He seems like a rockus dude that has the skills to pay the bills. He works at Tippett Studio as a character animator. Here is the web site for Tippett Studio. He has worked on The Matrix: Revolutions, Hell Boy, and he was the animation supervisor on one of the coolest shots in the movie Constantine. It is the scene where Keanu gets attached by the demon made of garbage, rats, crabs, etc. Whoa! That scene is wicked good.

I was going to go see Corpse Bride this weekend, but I have had the Andromeda Strain for about a week now and I am just getting over it. Blah! It is going to be Wallace and Gromit time soon and I won't have even seen Corpse Bride yet. Argh!

Hey! Happy 18th to my little bro-in-law Justin and feel better Bruce.

Rock!

Finally!

Mang! It's been forever since I posted on this Blog thinger. Sorry about that gang! I have been animating for work and I have been animating for school, so that leaves zero time to Blog.

I have my personality walk to show. Click here to check it out. The personality that I was trying to show was "jaunty".

This is the final assignment for my first class at Animation Mentor. The second class starts in 2 weeks and it covers bipdedal body dynamics.

Rock!
