Short Film: 1/3 First Polish
Things are speeding up and it’s getting busy! This last week we started polish on our films. That meant for me taking everything to spline. I blocked pretty tightly so it wasn’t too bad of a transition. Still rough patches but those will be cleaned up for the next, and final go around.
Last week was a great week. So much going on, I just can’t have any complaints. We had a Horton Hears a Who Q&A on Monday with some animators who worked on the film. And to my surprise, who were the two animators? None other than David Gallagher and Jason Martinsen, two of my past mentors from Blue Sky! It was awesome to see them in a Q&A again. I’ve had such great mentors throughout AM, it was just great to see them again.
A lot of cool things are happening in the animation world. It’s just one of those times when things are great and I’m enjoying it all.
Oh, and I woke up today to several awesome greetings from AMers for turning a year older today. Drawings, cakes, songs — I love AM. 
It’s week 8!

Hello!
Your project is coming along nicely! I can’t wait to see more.
I was searching up more information about Animation Mentor and I wanted to see a students perspective of the program. So I found this site!
Sounds like your having a blast at Animation Mentor.
I recently competed for a scholarship for VFS but since I didn’t win it I’ve been looking for other opportunities.
Animation Mentor looks great! If your not too busy I’d like to talk more about the school and what you think about it.

Hey Alexiss!
Awesome short you got going on. And what is there not to love about Hurley! Well unless your his friend or a casual acquaintance then the whole cursed number thing is kind of a drag. Of course that could be all resolved by now. I’m watching Lost on DVD so I’m a season behind.

Thanks dudes for the comments! Mucho appreciated. Oy, it’s crazy!
Hurley is the man…I’m just a stalker friend, except in a non-creepy way … you know, because I don’t want to get involved with THAT curse!!
Tom — I’ll be in touch!
