New term, new mentor and I'm so exited to have Chris Derochie, who is a writer as well. Class 5 is about story and the lectures were great so far. This week I had to do a video pitch ... I know I know ... animators in front of a cam ... they don't like it ;), but I decided to share it because Chris told me it was a good pitch :). Get some popcorn and enjoy ;).

DONE ... This is my final version. The background still needs some work ... a friend of mine is working on it ... I hope I can render the it during the the Holidays. Thanks to everyone who helped me on this and a special thanks to Goro Fujuita, who was like a second mentor during the whole progress 🙂

Almost done :), I still need to work a bit on the lip sync especially on Shot 3 and doing some more polishing but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel (German phrase, not sure if it makes sense in English 😉 )

This week I polished a lot, body mechanic wise it's pretty final maybe some last little tweaks. Only the lip sync wasn't touched :).

Grrrr ... unfortunately I didn't managed it to bring the rest of the sequence to spline, shot 5 still blocked 🙁 ... 3 weeks left to finish the assigment, so there is still enough time ;).

Last week I turned Shot 1 into spline, this week shot 2, 3, 4 and 5 are on the list. If I'm fast enough and able to bring them into the same stage I can start with the polishing next week :).

Second Blocking Pass. I'm still not 100% happy with Shot 4 so I still have to work a bit on it. Overall the blocking is quite solid (hope so ;)) and I can move on to the next step. The snow is done with particle, emitted from a nubs surface and a turbulence field on it ... and again some faces.

This time I really try to focus on the acting, trying to go really deep into the character, I'm going to change most of the colors so they'll match more to the personalty. Thanks again to Goro for his help!

A new week a new assignment :). After a nice tip from Sue (AM Student) I listened a whole day to the American Life Radio, a public radio Station. There I found the the first Clip 'The Lie' which I'm going to use for my next animation. The other Clips are from Little Mis Sunshine, which is on of my favorite live action movies 🙂 .

Final version ... it done 🙂 He got some hair, pimped clothing, some texture and a barb. This week I tried to focus on the eyes because to me they are the weakest point of the shot. And like last week we had to create some facial expressions again.
