So im am now in my 5th week of term 2. this is my second assignment, and its a cool one! i get to animate a human hamster wheel! heres my planning and blocking so far. i think this ones my new favorite :)

i just want to apologize to all my avid readers out there.....  *cricket *cricket      i havent updated this in a looooong time. so here i am in term 2! my mentor is Jeremy Cantor, the grand master of all things animated... actually he did right a book on it :) coolest guy, and very strict. but i like i good challenge. for the first assignment i did a heel click as shown below. this was a fun assignment because we really get to start adding personality and zest to our animation. we are learning what it is to show weight and balance, and everything is based off of the hips. very cool stuff. i feel like im relearning how to walk.... but its awesome!

heres the planning i did for this guy

and some video reference... very crucial step. and yes this is me!

this is a little something i threw together for the school showcase... well see if its good enough to get shown to the world :)

week8&9

and in week 8 and 9 we started to study walk cycles. really cool things happening here, plus we got to start animating bipeds!

week7

ok, so in week7 it really started getting interesting for me. we had to animate tailor, and squirl like character, and we got to show some personality in our animation! here we focused on overlapping action like before, but also incorporating some squash and stretch as well as a little humor....
