Since I had quality new work to show, I thought it would be a good idea to update the ol’ demo reel. This is the first time my AM assignments are showing up on my reel, but I’m sure it won’t be the last. I spent a little time rendering these, and so you can see the new versions here:

Crits and comments welcome.
Quarter 2 is done. Here’s my final version of the emotion assignment.
The first quarter of AM was good because it reinforced things I’d already learned and really gave me a better grip on some of the basics. The emphasis this time was to focus on body movement. During the first one I felt like it was worthwhile, but it was stuff I’d done before. Over the last few weeks, however, I’ve been in totally new territory. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve had the feeling that my animation was moving to a new level. In his final crit, Gavin seemed to think that I was ready to move on and that it was time to start focusing not just on entertaining and physically sound body movements, but on acting. Lucky for me that’s what we’ll be learning in the coming quarter. After learning so much this last time, I really can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
