Well things have been pretty busy around here with class all the time, working, and still making time for friends.

I've been working pretty hard outside of classes trying to get prepared for demo reel creation. Since everything is based on getting something great out of that class i figured I'd better start now. Its coming along, I have a few scenes coming along nicely, while others are still getting some things worked out. Since I've started reading Acting for Animators though, I've taken a whole new perspective on the process. I didn't realize how lacking my characters and stories were, but its better to figure that out right now than in a year when it really matters.

I've also started to notice that the more I'm animating the more passionate I get about it. Its come to the point where I eat drink and sleep this stuff. I'm always taking little mental notes on peoples mannerisms, watching films think about how "X" pose could be pushed just a bit more or how to move out of a pose and have it better support the intention. I try to tie animation in to everything. And I think to be successful, or at least be ahead of the competition its necessary.
