PandaPanther!!!

I'm excited to announce I will be starting a Character Animation Internship with PandaPanther in NYC! They've worked on some really cool commercial projects, and most notably, cinematics for the Skylanders video games. I feel really lucky and I can't wait to work on some cool stuff! I will keep you guys updated as much as I can on my journey throughout the internship.

On a side note I've been taking the Rent-a-Mentor workshop at CG Spectrum!  My instructor is Mark Pullyblank, previously a Senior Previz Artist at Weta.  So far its been a really great experience.  I wanted to focus on my body mechanics and together we came up with a solid shot idea.  Its great having someone to go over a shot with you right from the conception phase.  Its helps get the best ideas out right away, and eliminates a lot of guess work.  Mark is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to animation and the industry in general.  Every week I take away something new and walk away with a ton of notes.  I really recommend it to animators of any level.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I will post more...Promise!
