Hey Guys! So here's the latest on my shot. I just got into polish and it shouldn't be much longer till it's finished. Trying to incorporate some feedback from friends and tie everything down. So until next time :)

Romantic Splining
Hey Guys! Just a quick update on this shot... splining and cleaning curves. It's been a lot of fun so far trying to keeping those interesting little bits from my reference. Still a lot to track and much to polish (especially with the facial) but hoping to have it done soon!

Romantic Blocking
Hey Hey Everyone!!! Just a quick update to the latest shot I'm working on. It's in the blocking pass right now with some roughed in lip sync. In the next passes I'll be looking for ways to push some of the expressions and still keep it natural over-all. I have a lot of fun little moments in my reference so I'll take a look at ways to incorporate them too!

Think Think Think...
I've been doing a lot of thinking recently about what is really important in that next big step in a persons career. And what it really boils down to is, "What are you going to learn from this experience?" Growing as an artist, sharing ideas and learning with others is what it's really all about! It's a concept I think most creative people understand, but every once and a while something pops up just to remind you. You have to love what you do and do what you love, right!?
"Keep moving forward..."

Off to CTN Animation Expo 2012!
Hey Guys!!! Well it's time for this years CTN Animation Expo and I'm starting my trip out to Burbank in just a few hours. So excited for this years conference and the artists and studios attending! It'll be really nice to meet up with friends again, too :)
So as usual, just in time for the conference I put together a new demo reel with a few new shots and some adjustments. Check it out below!!!
But wait, there's more! I started this new shot just a week ago and unfortunately wasn't able to get it fully baked before heading out to CTN. So here is the latest that I have been working on, it's somewhere near a Spline/Polish pass right now with PLENTY more to do. Can't wait to get back and finish this one up ;)
So that's about all for now! Stay tuned for more updates and pics from the conference and take care everybody!

Updates!!!
Hey Everyone! Just posting an update since it's been a little while. Been working on a few things right now and tweaking a couple shots in preparation for CTN 2012!!!!! I'm so excited to go to the conference this year, tons of crazy awesome talks and demos on the schedule. Not to mention all the great studios and networking opportunities!
So first up is a walk cycle test I have been working on. Haven't worked with the Malcolm Rig before (from AnimSchool) but I know I'll use him in some future projects since it turned out to be such a fantastic rig:
Next is an update on the elephant shot! I took a little break from it for a bit, but I have been trying to wrap it up lately to put on my reel for CTN:
That's all for now guys, should have a brand new reel up in the next few weeks so stay tuned and take it easy!!

Elephant Shot Update #1
Hey Everyone! I know it's been a little while since my last update, but I've been pretty busy ;) I had an amazing time at the Animation Mentor Graduation and it was awesome to meet up with friends old and new! The extended vacation was great too and I loved exploring the West Coast!
I've also been working on this new shot starring.... AN ELEPHANT! Crazy right, it's an elephant. Things have been pretty complicated so far, but it's been a HUGE learning experience. Maybe because this is my first "real" quadruped? Maybe it's because I thought it was a good idea to do more than just a walk cycle? Or maybe it's just all the hours of elephant documentaries corrupting my brain, haha.
Regardless, here is the latest. Things are "splined" but since it requires a better understanding of the weight shifting over the feet I had to go into it earlier. I usually don't spline until I have tons of keys/breakdowns and I'm ready to polish, so it's tough to gauge how far along it is, probably blocking plus stage. Hope you like it and as always feedback it greatly appreciated!!!
Take it easy guys!

New Demo Reel & Graduation
**Well it looks like a new Demo Reel is up!**
And just in time for my trip out to San Francisco/Los Angeles for Animation Mentor Graduation!!! I'm soooo excited to finally travel out to California, see the AM Headquarters, maybe a couple studios and of course celebrate with the Animation Mentor family! There's so much to do and I don't even know where to start.... probably finish packing would be a good idea :P
Can't wait to see everyone and hope you enjoy my new reel! Take it easy! :)
