Exer-MATION!

Exercising

Really small overlap test to keep the juices in my animation brain flowin'... don't blink... seriously.

New Camera

A few more photos I took today.

----------

I just bought a new camera yesterday, and I love it! I've been carrying it around everywhere with me. I haven't had much experience taking pictures but I bought this book that has some great info that I hope to start applying in my photos... plus stuff I could use for animation and art in general too. ( about emphasizing shapes, composition, perspective, use of texture and color, etc. ) Here's Jasmin with a nice yellow monotone throughout. Makes her feel warm and cuddly, which she is. :)

...and these are our dogs. Little brats... they think they could get away with anything. Jasmin thought it would be cute to give Buddy up there a mohawk.

Just messing around with some different camera functions.

I recommend the camera by the way. My buddy Chad, who recently bought one himself, recommended it to me. So if you're looking for something nice but not so expensive go check it out. ( SONY model no. DSLR-A200 )

Animation Update

Animation on Open Season 2 is winding down and coming to an end.

Last Friday I finished my last shot and there are a couple of animators wrapping up their final shots. The project was unlike any other project I've been on and I'm very happy and fortunate to be part of this one of a kind team at Reel FX. Hats off to everyone who worked on this for dishing out such nice work, it was really a joy to be a part of.

So this week I've started my first couple of shots on the DVD short film for Kung Fu Panda. I enjoyed the movie A LOT and I'm extremely psyched to be animating on this. Hope you watch and enjoy when it comes out with the DVD.

Skadoosh!
