Class 1 is in the bag! It was an awesome three months. I my mentor was amazing, my fellow classmates were super helpful, assignments were challenging, and the lessions were eye opening. I have been animating (or trying to animate) since 2002 when I was first introduced to softimage. I heard about the 12 principles and all that stuff pretty early on. But my understanding these past three months has grown a HUGE amount. My demo reel from before I started this class is useless now (and that is a really really good thing in my opinion). Bobby was right when he said
Right now it feels like you are still moving things around and not giving life to the characters. You definitely need training. You understand the software and that is evident, but you need to go much deeper into yourself to be an animator.
Well I better shut up before I sound like too big of a dork. Here is my Class 1 reel for all of you to enjoy. I have a long way to go yet but I know I'm on the right track.
