Welcome to my Animation Mentor Journey blog
My name is Ameer, and I just moved from Jordan on Jan 2008...
After I settled down in Illinois I had to choose between two pathways; to either get my architecture degree accredited and become a licensed architect or follow my dream of becoming an animator at Pixar or Disney animation studios.
I have chosen to follow my passion and dreams, and work on what I enjoy the most,so here I am so excited to start Class1 at ANIMATION MENTOR so excited to meet all of you out there, I'm just a small fish in a big pond.
Thanks to Null Studios / Institute, the place where I got introduced to AM. After graduation from college I started to work as an architect, but I got into the 3D visualization so I took a year long 3D course at Null Institute while working to enhance my 3D skills, your work was one of the examples for us students to have an idea about what field of 3D we want to get into. I remember I was on the edge of my chair each time AM showcase or short was out.
Another "Thank You" Shout to AM STUDENTS, its your work; showcases which gave me the push I needed to switch my career. Looking at your work in progress and 3D shorts I said to myself " That's it that's what I want to do " THANK YOU AGAIN ANIMATION MENTOR & AM STUDENTS.

Hey Ameer!
It's so awesome meeting so many enthusiastic people - and school hasn't even started yet!
There must be something about that step towards following one's dreams. :)
Really looking forward to Class 1 - stay in touch!

PS - Nice architecture visualization reel!
Hello again! I didn't see a direct contact link, but I wanted to let you know I saw a couple of typos on your page =D
In your page header:
"Ameer Malkosh @ Aniamtion Mentor"
should be...
"Ameer Malkosh @ Animation Mentor"
And in your side bar links the "n' is missing in "Animation Mentor"
Not trying to be a stickler, just thought you'd want to know!
Thanks Jason,
And what a coincidence I was just checking if the links were working
but I haven't noticed the missing letters, really appreciated
WazZup AmeER!! How You doing, man? Thx for the msg on my blog. And yea I've read both books, but that was like a year ago when i found out about AM. Yea I was super excited so I bought both books and read them within 2 weeks. As if AM would start then...:S But I'll have to read them again, you know to refresh my memory. But I have to say I really like "Animator's survival kit". But IoL if cool to becuase you get to know alot about the beginning of animation and the Walt Disney Company. Love it. But yea, I see you going 2 start AM in Fall huh. Concrats man!! Just wondering if your doing the Springboard. I'm doing the springboard and I'll start in the Winter 09 term. I'm sure we'll meet in the campus someday. Like Jason said, Nice architecture reel! That's awesome, with the rotating camera and the building comming out of the floor, man!!!!! 5/5 Talk to you soon man, Take Care!
Well it looks like you're on your way Ameer. We miss here at Null, and we hope to see you back for some lectures or a collaboration once you're a big shot animator. Take care. We expect great things.
