AM is Gearing Up

My Animation Mentor experience is staring to gear up!

I've now created my username/password for the campus, and got to watch a whole bunch of introductory videos. Most of the stuff is pretty easy to figure out on your own, but there are a few helpful tips here and there.

I've also set up my profile now too, although we haven't been given access to be able to see other people yet. So I guess this is more just like getting my profile ready for when class is ready.

Anyways, I've also added my Animation Mentor Student badge over in the right. Look at it all nice and shiny :) I was going to put a fan one up earlier, but I figured I'd just wait until I was able to get my student badge to put up. Good times.

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.

Remember that pose I promised a while back? Just did it today, enjoy.

Review: How To Train Your Dragon

Awesome. Just awesome. Dreamworks has definitely taken a big step forward with How To Train Your Dragon. Everything on it was way beyond anything I've ever seen come out of Dreamworks. All the technical stuff seems a lot further along, in terms of hair, skin, textures, and effects. The animation was amazing. Toothless (the dragon) was especially really beautifully done. I find it hard to discuss that without going too nerdy on you so I'll just leave it at that. But most importantly, the humor works, and it had a great story. The characters were very well executed and you really felt for everyone. I couldn't have hoped for a better movie. Watch out Pixar.
