Lost in the Plot

So I’ve begun Animation Mentor, and just three weeks in I can tell that it’s going to make a huge impact on my understanding of animation, and be a really transformative experience. I’ve been pulling out all sorts of books for reference and inspiration, including the one above, signed for me by Ed Catmull at Siggraph last year!

I can also tell that my free time is rapidly going to diminish down to exactly zero, which is tough right now given the several unfinished little hobby projects I’m tinkering with. But in a way, I’m looking forward to just devoting every waking minute to animating, and I can tell the rewards from all the work will be awesome. First term is Basic Foundations, and my mentor is the amazing Anthony Wong.

Awesome! I’m sure he’s heard that one- it only took me about ten minutes to see the joke though! :-)

Hey :) I see you’re getting more popular :P

How’re you feeling? Don’t stress too much, remember you’re doing an amazing course, meeting obviously amazing people (above post says it all) and living in one of the most amazing cities in the world. I always forget to take my own advice. But relax and just let it all sink in… gosh and I wish this box was a bit bigger.. I feel like i’m writing for an ant… hello mr ant :P
