Coraline

I first learned about Coraline at Comic-con last summer. When I walked by their puppet display I was hooked at first glance! Coraline is a stop-motion animated film (will be released Feb 6 09) Directed by Henry Selick who Directed Nightmare Before Christmas and written by Neil Gaiman who has a "gentle twisted sense of humor". A friend linked me to a special RottenTomatoes.com did on the movie. They have a five part sneak peak with interviews and scenes from the film. You can see them HERE You can also read an interview with Henry Selick and animator Travis Knight about the film and what they might be working on in the near future HERE.

Book: Character Animation Crash Course! by Eric Goldberg

I just finished reading a book called Character Animation Crash Course! by Eric Goldberg. This book is easy to read and packed with invaluable information and sketches explaining his methods - AND a DVD with his samples animated! This book is a must for new and veteran Animators!

Graduated from Animation Mentor!

Well I don't actually graduate until January, but I finished the program! I still remember when I first found out about it at Comic-con and hurried home to sign up. Seems like just yesterday! Time sure flies when you are having fun...and it sure was a lot of fun! I learned so much more then I ever imagined and made so many amazing friends. It was definitely an experience of a life time and I recommend this program for anyone that wants to take their Animation skills to the next level.

So now what?

Well...I am polishing up the pieces on my Demo Reel and will be sending it out to studios as soon as I feel ready. Hopefully no longer then a month. I think it is going to get to a point where I will just have to send it out regardless of how I feel, because as some of you know...Animation is one of those things that you can't really call "done". Just finished enough to look good enough to hopefully get you a job :)
