Another venture into the unknown
It’s been a bit of a interesting week. Thursday morning I woke up to a hilarious video comment left for me by a fellow AMer that had me to the point of tears laughing. It was off to a good day. Unfortunately that day ended up suddenly being my last day at my job as my position was no longer needed. Funny how those things happen. What’s funny is that it’s not that it happened that bothers me the most, but the fact that i was disappointed in how my team reacted — or their lack of reaction. A year and a half there and not so much of a goodbye. Ah well. It was a stressful day.
The nice thing is that I’m seeing this to be a nice little blessing in disguise. I’m so excited to be done and to be able to focus on my film at Animation Mentor. I’ve been smart with my money and with a little balancing I think I can make it work. I’ll really be able to put all of my efforts into making a good film and still manage to even get a little sleep. As for this late posting, well, I just can’t sleep.
I’ll also be able to put even more into the AM community which I’m very excited for. Everything happens for a reason, right? So here’s to yet again another unknown. I was amazed and humbled by the reaction of several AMers. Once again amazed by the people in the animation industry — they are genuine, loving people and I’m grateful for all of those I’ve gotten to know so far.
So now to my film — this week I’m working on my layout. I’ll finish up the first pass of timing on the 1/3 of it tomorrow and I’ll post up on Monday as usual. But for now as a bit of a teaser, look at my guy!

Hey Alexiss!
Thanks so much for all you do around AM. Your enthusiasm is infectious!!
I totally feel your pain about the work thing. I had a similar situation this week, which turned out to be a blessing because I don’t think I could have had my shot in on time if I had had to work.

[...] the lighting to make sure my set would work how I wanted it to as I built it up. So aside from the one I posted late last week, here are a few test renders I did. Still a bit of tweaking to do but getting close. Really going [...]
