Work Update!

Working at Tippett has been so amazing, I just had to write about it here! There are about 15 of us temps so far and everyone is so inspiring to be around. Everyone has been extremely friendly and helpful since the very first day. It made it easy to leave my nerves at the door and just get in there, be myself and do my job.

As for the actual work side of my job, its been just as wonderful! We do lots of studies and research before touching any shot. I absolutely love the process of learning the mechanics of an animal and how it would do something. It is especially fun to figure that out and mix it with acting a little humanistic without looking too human. It's a huge challenge, but rewarding when done correctly!

I also have been riding my bike to work which has been a huge perk for me! Its so nice how biker friendly Berkeley is and there are barely any hills. It's a great way to start and end a work day!

A Little Late, but I still wish it for you...

Coraline = A Must See!

I saw Coraline yesterday and it was a weird, entertaining, beautiful art piece of a film! The environment/character designs were so unique and I am especially impressed by the mouth shapes of all things, ha! The animation completely blew me away with how smooth it was! The character personalities and developments were so strong and have made quite the impression on what seems a lot of people. I am planning on seeing it again before it is out of theaters and in 3D this time. I am also going to make a trip to the Cartoon Museum in the city and see the Coraline exhibit before they take it away.

Here are some goodies I found on the web:
