Well, I suppose i have been neglecting this page, so let me input a small update.
The 2D Animation project: walk this way is now officially off of my shoulders, hand-in is tomorrow and i have everything done. Pukka
Concerning the 3D character modelling project things have been back and forth, my first character file corrupted which resulted in having to create another character i have - now completed, only now my original file is now usable which leaves me wanting to continue from where I was cut-off.......and I think I will.

Ready for the Weekend?
This weekend will be killer, upon receiving the first big project, I'm jumping into the deep end - and I know how to swim. The "Walk this Way" project has us animating a walk cycle involving a created character inspired by our peers, and in my animation I will have the character morphing into a beast. It is a daunting task, but one I revel.

Don Hertzfeldt - Billy's Balloon
This is a particularly interesting film. Don Hertzfeldt, is both a viciously talented artist and a man with a horrible sense of humour. I began watching this with a small sense of confusion but as the plot began to unfold, it became apparent that it wasn't your average animation. The comical brutality of balloon's attacking their child owner's, was too beautiful......sadistically speaking of course - don't get me wrong, I didn't enjoy it in that manner, I just found the comical occurrences to be an incredible view.
Mind you I won't buy a balloon anytime soon >_>
Midweek monologue
Well now, one month down - how many more to go?
I kid, the course so far has been impecable, didn't think that it would be so much of a surreal moment slowly putting my 3d model together, or watching my 2d paper animations on screen - I made the right choice.
I won't go so far as to rank my different lessons, as i feel i could hurt some feelings. However each lesson has considerably broadened my outlook on animation as a whole, this particular monday we were shown some videos, namely "Billy's Balloon" by Don Hertzfeldt and "Western Spaghetti" by PES. Both films were exceptional, "Billy's Balloon" especially - the concept of balloons fighting back and savagely beating children was hilarious irony, as it contrasts its image of being fun and light, along with the fact that balloon's do not do much damage.
hopefully i'll have my own work to display up here soon.
