Survived Class 1 of Animation Mentor

I did it!  =D

How was it?
Friggin' awesome. I learned a lot in just three months. I made some awesome friends who happen to be amazing animators and probably a new BFF. I seem to only pick one up for every educational institution that I go to. Looks like I got mine early at AM. ^^

So here's my Class 1 Progress Reel.




They say, one of the biggest things bout Animation Mentor (apart from the learning to animate thing) is the networking aspect. I got a little taste of that by 'meeting' Peter McEnvoy, an established Dublin animator who was also in Class 1.

But through messing around and procrastinating and being an idiot with the help of my friend Jass, I think I've networked myself something serious. I made a funny video of my Class 1 mentor, Elliott Roberts (who used to work in Pixar and now works for Double Fine), and then showed it to him. He loved it and put it on his Facebook. All his friends loved it on Facebook and there's loads of likes and comments from animators who work at or used to work at Pixar, Double Fine, Blue Sky and Bungie.



It's not like I can actually do anything with this but it's nice to know that in some obscure way these people know I exist, but at least I know Elliott will remember me. ^^

So yeah, I'm on break now and kind of wish I wasn't.

Good times.
