Last Assignment Completed!

And so ends my long journey through AM, but my education is FAR from being complete. The last 12 weeks I think I've made some big strides, but I still need tons of practice.

The reel that I ended up with isn't really that complete. My final shot isn't finished, and only have two other pantomime shots with the simpler rig. I definitely need to do a lot more acting and dialog shots for myself and get those as good as I can get them. As of now though, I'm pretty tired of looking at the work that I've done, and I'm not sure if I'll carry on polishing those shots.

I need at least one more reel worthy acting shot for my reel before I even want to think about applying anywhere for a job. There's some really tough competition out there from both pros and my classmates, and I need to get myself up to that level.

For now though...some much needed rest.

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.
