AM Semester 1 start-up 10 days and counting

One small step for this year, one giant leap toward the rest of my life (over dramatic I know). I'm trying to learn how to move convincingly, there's a world of range in which I can fall from Tex Avery's slapstick style to National Geographic dry documentary. The second clip I am aiming for slightly angst, disinterested teenager being told he need so to do/change something. It's the feeling I want to avoid throughout my life. Why block myself off from learning more, growing, or accomplishing something; if I ever want those things sooner or later I will have to do/change something.



More soon, I'm trying a crouch to runcycle. It's winning so far. :{

Exercising the Arm

Here is an assignment from the Springboard class I finished in November. This taught me a ton real fast. All of a sudden I was using motion with an inorganic object. I wasn't shooting for overlap or follow through on this, just the arc of the motions.

I hope ya dig. Getting the block to settle after was a particularly hard thing since I had to deconstrain in then animate it independently.

I start the full blown coarse work for Animation Mentor in 19 days! I'll post up a couple more before then.
