Annndddddddd MORE!!

Trying to knock out this blocking since Im headed to Michigan tomorrow evening after work. Its been a bit nuts around here! Lots of early mornings and late nights...probably more so coming up...but oh well! At least Im doing stuff I enjoy, right? haha. Production Assistant work is pretty awesome.

Anyways, heres an update on the latest!




So after he sits up, its not over....Im going to have a flast of white or something, and then all the sudden his face is all charred up. haha. Trying to work that one out a little bit, but we'll see what I end up coming up with! Anyway, Im hoping I can get a little more work on this before I leave town tomorrow, but overall Im decently happy with the start of it!

Wahoo

So since I didn't get a chance to upload all my files last time, Im going to do it for this assignment..

Haha, its harder to keep up with this thing than I thought sometimes! Lack of time kicks everything. Anyway, here is the "finished" monkey bars one so far, and my NEXT assignment is Stewie throwing a grenade...haha. Check out the story boards!





There you have it! Hopefully I can pull a decent grade on it....Im pretty happy with it. Its got some elements I don't like (the perfectionist side speaking), but time is of the essence. Haha. We shall see!

Anyway, heres the storyboards for the next one!

Week 1 of new job...

Wow......

So I am now officially a Production Assistant on a potential kid's show! AWESOME! Its been insanity getting used to this. The commute is about an hour into the city, and it has been LONG hours so far. Killing my Half Iron Man training, and my homework time, sadly. Fortunately, its only week one, so I definitely have some adjusting to do. Working on that one...

Spent all week setting up casting calls for 12-14 year olds, taking phone calls, setting up the schedule, etc. It was quite intense. Friday alone was nuts....129 kids interviewed in 2.5 hours....CRAZY! Fun though, I have to say, this job is awesome, even though its kicking my butt. May is going to be insanly intense...video shoots every weekend...looks like I am working 7-day weeks (roughly) for all of May. HA! Niccceeeeeee.

Anyway, just pulled my first mostly all-nighter since college...haha. I had little to no time to put in a lot of work on the homework during the week, so I jumped into hyper-mode and 23 hours later (since yesterday starting at 8:00am)....its done. Haha, needless to say, running on about 3 hours of sleep, but SO glad its at the spot it is. I am happy with it thus far...it has a LONG way to go, most definitely, but at least it is out of blocking and into the refining stages.

ok, enough chatter....here it is thus far.....

ok ok...

Alright, so Im terrible with keeping up with this sometimes. There are definitely lulls in my postings, so I apologize, but I promise Im going to continue to keep posting my work.

Got a few things to put up here for the newest assignment......we're now into class 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! crazyness! Already jumping in head first though.

The assignment this time was kind of cool...we had to pick what we wanted to do! We could choose between changing up the scenarios throughout the 3 assignments, or we could choose to make 3 animations that all relate together. I chose to make 3 that relate, and have the theme be "Stewie's boot camp." I thought that might be fun, and it was the one that I could come up with the most scenarios.

Starting off, I decided to have Stewie attempt his hand at some "monkey bars"....not sure what its called when you do it in boot camp, but either way, same deal. SO, here is my blocking so far. Still not done with the end of it, just working progressively, but Im pretty proud of it thus far for it being a very first pass, so I figured I would post it.

I will proceed to post the video reference, sketches, and my final portfolio from the end of last term as soon as I get a chance :-D





In the mean time, enjoy!
