AM Class 3: Introduction to Acting / Nick Bruno

Awesome, Back to AM world, I'm so excited for this class... can't wait to start with my assignments.
I had some problems this term with my class q&a times, but I did a swap with another class & just had the first q&a session.

My mentor for this term is NICK BRUNO, he's a senior animator at Blue Sky Studios he worked on Ice Age: The Meltdown, Horton Hears A Who! he was selected as one of the character leads for the generic Whos in Whoville, & just wrapped up Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs ...

So far I had my first mentor from Pixar, then Disney, & now Blue Sky, that's just AM's pure awesomeness.

AM 210 & 211 Assignments

I haven't updated the blog on week 10 because I thought my shot was bad comparing to my blocking stage earlier and I thought I'll post it with week 11's entry, I thought It will turn out great...and cover that one
But unfortunately I screwed up in the polishing part, it's better than what I had on w11 but still the final shot looks choppy & robotic, with this assignment to wrap up class 2, I need to focus & concentrate more on the polishing part which is my weakness so far in all the assignments this class. Overlapping action too, I'm still weak in this part which can take a shot to the next level...

Now that we're in week 12 we get our mentor's overall critique & with no assignment due next sunday,I need to start some planning for next class, which will start next week, I need to have better ways to balance between my full-time job, sleep, Animation Mentor & a bit of life.
plus I'll have to go through the dvd's I just got from The GNOMON WORKSHOP,fundamentals, mechanics & emotions by Chris Kirshbaum.

Here's W10 assignment
