So here’s my first third of my film in layout and then the rest on there as the animatic. It is really, really cool to see this translating into Maya. I’m enjoying it a lot — it’s starting to come to life by seeing it in there. It’s rough but that’s cause it’s only layout!

This week I’ll get a lot more done for sure. Last week was just crazy. Thank you to all of you who sent such incredibly kind messages after last week — I really, really appreciate it and it means so much. Animation people are amazing!

As an ending note, I thought I’d pass on a lil’ quote. Every week at Animation Mentor we have video news with a bunch of people at AM offices. This week Bobby started it off and after mentioning a few things school wise he said something I absolutely love:

This is Animation Mentor — the place where your dreams become reality. And the only way that happens is by pursuing and pushing yourself forward and working super hard.

We’re in week 9 and things always tend to get a bit hectic and it’s that final push for the term. And amazingly enough everyone of us struggles at one point or another questioning if we’re really cut out for animation — it’s just part of it all. So it was great to hear him say this. This morning I was talking with a friend that’s about to get a great job in the industry. Talking about his excitement (as I was bouncing in my seat in excitement) he noted how he hasn’t been this excited before. Then we said how it’s because it’s a dream coming true. That doesn’t happen every day — and I absolutely love seeing it all happen for my friends. It’s an incredible feeling when I hear about another person having that dream come true. Awesome.
