Finally joining Animation Mentor

I've finally started Animation Mentor and I'm loving the classes. It's a little hard to balance with work but I'm managing. I'm meeting a lot of new people and learning lots about animation techniques. The classes are excellent.

My mentor is Amber Martorelli and she has been animating for a while. She worked on Ice Age 2 and Robots while she was at Blue Sky Studios in NY. It's incredible to be learning first hand from so many people that work in the industry and having a mentor with industry experience is a must. Just this week we were having a Q&A in which she showed us scenes from the movies she worked on and was able to answer lots of our questions about how things worked at Blue Sky and what it was like.

And it's so much fun to finally be working in something that I feel so passionate about. It is so interesting to read about animation, and learn about the industry, and animation techniques. How amazing will it be once I'm working at one of these companies. I'm really looking forward to it.

So every now and then I will be posting some of my animations in here so you guys can check them out. Feel free to leave comments about anything you see.

Over and out!
