The second term of Animation Mentor started on the 2nd and it has been awesome. My mentor this term is Ray Ross who works at Blue Sky (Horton Hears a Who, Ice Age, etc). He is kind of amazing. I've gotten both e-critiques back on Sunday so far (zomg) and he answers all the questions he can. So happy. :D
Our first assignment this term is actually due in Week 4. Last week we shot reference and did planning, this week we blocked. This coming week is for roughs, and next week... we finalize. I really like this method of animating. I feel like I've finally gotten a hang of blocking in stepped mode, and the extra time makes me feel like I actually am doing my best, rather that the best I could do in the amount of time given.
Without further ado... my assignments:
I'll post my reference later. My laptop decided that it needs a new DC in port, and so Dell is having me ship it back to the lab to get it replaced. Thank goodness for warranties, but it's still a pain. I'm using my boyfriend's laptop for most things now, but my reference is still on my broken computer. ;-;
This week's assignment was blocking!
Ray is a bit tougher on grading than Anthony was, but he still really liked it and gave me some helpful tips. Looking forward to this next week. :)
