Finaled Two Char

Hey Everyone! Sorry its been so long since my last post. Ive been very busy. I made it down to the CTN animation expo in Burbank CA and it was a blast! I got to meet with several AM students and it was great getting to know all of them, and I got to hang out with my mentor Chad! Hes a great guy and a ton of help! It was super inspiring to be able to hang out with him and the others.

I also finished Class 5 at AM and am now on a short break before I start my final class at animation mentor! I cant believe its already almost done! Some friends of mine are already getting amazing jobs, so hopefully I wont be too far behind them. haha

Lastly On my break Ive begun another shot so hopefully I will have something new to post soon!

Hope everything is well with everyone who is reading this... if anybody actually is haha!

Collector IP

Hey! Here is an IP pass of my new shot. Ive got shot 1 and shot 4 splined, and the performance of the other 3 shots are being refined. I think its in a pretty good spot right now, but I'm really going to have to notch it up this week and get a lot of work done because Im heading down to the CTN Animation Expo in Burbank, CA! If your going maybe Ill see you there!

Blocking

Heres the blocking of my new shot. Its a more dark and serious shot than my last one, but i really wanted to experiment with this one and test my range. Im learning a ton with it.

Hope you like it!

I See You FINALED

Here is a Finaled version of my single character dialogue shot. Ive gotten the ok to move on. Right now Im working on the blocking of a 360 frame two character dialogue shot. Its going to be intense!

Ill post it soon! Also just wanted to send a thanks out to my mentor Chad! You rock man! You've helped me a ton!

Final Pass

Here is a final pass at my shot. Im going to do a revision pass with a few great suggestions from my mentor Chad. So far this term has been awesome!!

Oh and today is my mentor, Chad Sellers, first day at Disney!! So congratulations on that man! Thats super exciting, and I cant wait to hear about it at our Q&A this week!

Facial animation refining

Here is a refined pass at my facial animation. Ive also toned down a lot of the motion of the body in the beginning, from a suggestion by my new mentor. Chad is an amazing animator and I am privilaged to be learning under him. I think overall im pretty happy where this shot is at right now. I have one more week to finalize it, then on to a two character shot!

First Pass at Facial Animation!

Hey! Here is my first pass at the facial animation on my shot. This is very exciting for me as this is my first attempt EVER at facial animation. Im happy with it so far, even knowing there is a lot of work to do!

And I just got my new mentor at Animation Mentor and its Chad Sellers!! Im super excited to be in his class and think its going to be great having this guy look at my work and help me out. Hes also starting at Disney this month so i get to see how is first weeks at Disney go!

Im being mentored by a Disney animator!!!!
