No break this week! But it was a glorious two days without homework. Mostly involved recovery sleep.
Really excited about this next class - it's going to consist of only 3 assignments, spending four weeks on each one. We're given a list of about fifteen actions to choose from, and my idea incorporates a few of them: walking down stairs, a side step, and for the hell of it, a bit of a walk at the end. I've been waiting for a chance to use Dick Van Dyke for reference, and here's my perfect chance. We're also encouraged to film ourselves acting out the movements, so here's my best go at being Van Dyke.
According to my previous mentor, I tended to be "subtle" in my animation and poses, and he encouraged me to really push my animation more. Hopefully this is a good project to push things. My new mentor Jeremy Cantor, comes from the live-action visual effects world of animation, so I'll be excited to add his perspective on things.
