Bouncing Balls Assignments

First Assignment

I had to rough a bunch of poses and sketches to pick a good one to pose Stu as my first assignment at AM... I picked the pose N'3 from the first page..

I had some trouble of going out and draw people moving cuz it was raining everyday here :S but i got to do some of them... also i had inspiration videos where i could get some of the poses and with help of the internet.. :)

Starting at Animation Mentor...

It's been a week of being in Class 1 at AM and I have to say that there is a huge comunity out there.. a lot of welcomings and meeting new and talented people willing to help you and give you feedback..

My Mentor is Nicole Herr.. she works at Sony Imageworks and has a great background and experience in animation....

I cannot wait to start my assignments and start using Maya 8.5 for the first time! :) I already customize it to make it work like 3dsmax a bit :P hehehe

Whooo hooo!!

Just want to say that I am very excited starting this year with a nice position at Activision/Beenox (www.beenox.com) here in Quebec City-CANADA.. since January.. here people are very friendly and talented.. I really like working here and even if it's my first experience on video games I don't feel too much the difference... I am having a lot of fun animating here.

And also a brand new Blog wich would keep me busy and updating my animation tests all the time :) I still don't know how it works but I will learn from my mistakes.. like most of animators do :P

Also want to say that I met a lot of talented people here in Quebec and i am part of a very talented team that are working in a very nice project called "Chevisodes" wich you can check out at www.chevisodes.com the rig looks awesome and very flexible... stay tuned cuz we will be showing some animation tests with the character..
