im afraid i havnt been the best at keeping this blogging thing up.... here i am in week 4 of AM, which has been an amazing ride so far. two weeks ago i had the privilege of getting some feed back from Aaron Hartlinehttp://aaronhartline.blogspot.com/ an animator at Pixar!
Also my mentor Anthony Wong, is from Pixar too and currently
he is working on cars 2.
last week we had an emphasis on observation. we had to sketch people in
excitement and try to capture the idea in our sketch here is what i came up with
so my teacher was talking about the importance of observation. he said that creativity comes from what you observe. then i realized thats why its so important to guard what you look at. because what you take in mentally comes out in your creativity.
we also did our first animation this week! we had to animate a bouncing ball. this was really cool because i am starting to learn the real way a work flow should go. it was a lot simpler than i thought and it was cool to only focus on the weight and timing of the bounce and how the arcs effected it. after many hours of staring at a ball bouncing by itself i finaly came up with what i found to be acceptable. i present to you.... my bouncing ball:
.
well im actually supposed to be working on my homework right now.
this week we have to animate two bouncing balls. double the fun!!!!
stay posted for the results!
