Class 5 Week 1: I'm Back Baby!

Yup, I'm back!  After a nice 3 month "sabbatical" (ie: broke my ankle) - I'm back at Animation Mentor.  Jumping right into lip-sync animation the first week.  We're taking our previous assignment as a starting point.  Lots of fun and lots to learn.  Below you'll find my video reference of myself (with a cameo in the background of my dear pet Roxie) and my planning thumbnails thinking about the mouth shapes.

"Turbo" Cycle Animator!

The big news is that today I started on a new show -  I'll be a Cycle Animator on the upcoming film Turbo, coming out June 7th, 2013

Leave of Absence

Well, an eventful weekend.  I fractured my ankle trying to lure our dog away from a possum, and in a feat of great agility and grace - tripped over myself.  So, this helped sway me to take a 3 month leave of absence from Animation Mentor (my animation computer is upstairs in our loft...yeah...)

Another factor is that crunch time is beginning at work now on Mad3, so I have a feeling it's going to be a busy winter...

Class 4 Week 12: End of Class Progress Reel

Well, officially 2/3rds of the way through Animation Mentor now.  Time for a holiday break and catch my breath!
