Animation Mentor Begins!

Wohooo!

First day of Animation Mentor, man I am so pumped, I feel I could animate all day :), but I think I have to ease my way in, or I start doing things waaaay over my head. Looks like the first day is pretty much introduction to things, meeting your class mates, and testing out webcams and such, but I am enjoying the introductory videos, Animation Mentor does a very good job in inspiring students, just watching the video and hearing these amazing animators talk about the things they went through, and how its similart to how alot of students started is really inspiring, and leaves a very warm welcome, can't wait to start animating!

Hang in there as the course progresses I will be adding more posts :).

Siggraph 2009 Animation features DVD

Hi fellow bloggers,

Sorry for not posting recently :(. I am really going to have to get into the habit of posting more on the blog :), but I am guessing once I start Animation Mentor, I will be posting things once a week, actually as many things as possible, as I will have more interesting things to post up.

I just recently watched the Siggraph 2009 animation feature DVD that people get when they go to Siggraph every year, it was very cool! I enjoy watching these animation features, it gives me a lot of motivation and its good to see how small groups of people can also do work just as amazing as any majour animation studios out there, and I think Siggraph is a great way to show off there efforts. There was two particular ones I liked that was on this DVD (there is actually more then one DVD, I have yet to watch the other two) and they were called "French Roast" and "Alma", both very well animated with a great plot.

Someday I would love to visit Siggraph, just to see how its like, but I bet you anything you probably can't just waltz in :).

Click on the images below and it should take you to the videos, definately have a look at them, because they are just awsome!
