HOME!

Yup, so I'm officially up in Northern California again. Back under the parent's nest for what is sure to be a very long 18 months at minimum. I'm guessing more like 2 years to be realistic, maybe even more. *Sigh*

But good news, is that I've gotten most of my stuff unpacked. Got a nice workstation going with two monitors. I still had my old 17" laying around, so I said "what the hell", and dualed it up with my 24" widescreen. It's pretty awesome so far I have to say.

*In real blogging time, I actually just re-adjusted the position of my seat/keyboard/moust, and the angle of the larger monitor. The smaller screen felt too far away, like i'd have to turn my head too far to the right, as compared to turning my head to the left of the larger. Now it feels all good.*

I saw someone that had the same 24" I have on sale for $179 on craigslist the other day. I was tempted....would be nice to have two monitors of the same size and make. But nah, I can live with this for now.

So for my coming home present, I'm going to present to you my two most favorited deviations on my DeviantArt profile. Neither of them have anything to do with animation or drawing though.

Class 2 Shot 1

Hey what's up minimal readership? I'm finally done with my first animation for my second class. But first, I'll rewind a bit. My new mentor for this class is Martin Hopkins. He is trained in classical animation from Sheridan College and has transitioned into 3D, with his entire professional career pretty much at Dreamworks Animation for the last 13 or so years. He is currently working on Shrek 4, which he claims isn't as bad as you would think and is better than Shrek 3; which I haven't seen. So far he has been pretty great. He sometimes gets out of his chair and acts out something on the camera for you to see instead of just relying on drawing over our frames. His inputs have gotten me from my initial blocking pass up to the polish of the final (although he hasn't seen that yet). Anyways, here is my progress from blocking to final: You might also find this pretty interesting. After we set some keyframes, this is what we use to refine and polish our animations. ...

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.
