Work gets exciting (not)

So I've hit the point at work where I've pretty much run out of anything meaningful to do, or anything that really involves me being at my computer that long. Basically I have to scan a whole bunch of papers and compile them into digital versions of themselves. It's not oging to be a fun process. At least I have my podcasts and my music to keep me entertained.

Meanwhile, I just planned out a shot on my first X-Sheet (exposure sheet). It's just a scene of a ball bouncing across the screen and off the side of the wall, but hey I'm just gettin started! No idea if I have the timing right of anything but I'll see how it turns out.

Actually I never wrote about it, but last Friday I got the two animation books I ordered from Amazon in the mail. The Animator's Survival Kit and The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation. I"ve only read the Survival Kit so far, well about 1/3 of it. The author is talking about walks and such, but I'm going to stick with my ball before I even touch that stuff. Illusion of Life lookspretty beefy. I think I'm going to end up reading both of these books before I'm even required to read them heh. It's ok, I need to read them again anyways.

Well, off to get some sleep for my week (or few) of scanning. At least I'm taking Friday off to go home. Yay 4 day weeks.

Walkcycle

Well before Lost, I completed my 2nd go at a basical walk cycle. It's missing some in-betweens but I just wanted to get those steps down first before I tried anything else. It's in the gallery. But here it is anyways. [caption id="attachment_56" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walkcycle #2"] [/caption]  Based off the guide from the Animator's Survival Kit.

Neglected

Yea, so that's the funny thing about me having a blog. I can neglect it. I was never that much of a writer in school. Both academically and for fun. This is something I really should do though. Would do well for me to brush up on some writing skills, and by association, my communication skills. Nothing much has happened since my last entry other than me getting mad at some more drivers, doing some more practice animations, and oh yea...not moving home anymore. Whatever, it's probably for the better. Having not lived at home for almost a quarter of my life, it would be just too weird to move back inside those walls. I should go now, I'm still on a high from the "LOST" finale and just having gotten back from seeing "Star Trek" in IMAX. Pretty awesome.
