Update .. of sorts

Well it's late in the summer now, only a couple more weeks until September and then back to school. I'll be starting Class5 at AM, which means Advanced Acting. I barely got through intro to acting, but that's not to say I havn't learn a ton about animation since I started this process 2 years ago. And I've hardly been doing nothing since class ended in June. Although I've slowed down a bit to enjoy summer.

Anyhow, right now I'm working on a Pantomine piece. I was really happy with how my first one turned out, and I thought for practice I should work on another one this summer. I've worked out my planning, shot a bunch of video reference and now I'm into my second pass of blocking. On top of that I'm rereading Animator's Survival Kit for the 3rd time. (It's really all in there)

So what's been the highlight of my summer? Well to things come to mind first. Was ComicCon. Last month I flew out to San Diego and got to experience the craziness that is ComicCon. I had some fun, spent way too much money and my take away is this. I will be going back! Second was seeing "The Lemonheads" in concert. One of my all time favorite bands played a tiny club in CT this summer. I still have a few more fun events planned before school starts again. Which I'm happy to say is the reason I needed to take a break. As they say, you can't draw from your life experiences until you have some!

More soon.
