Happy Holidays!

Well, it's been 3 months since I've updated any assignments, or posted new art. Mostly because I took a term off from Animation Mentor, and started my new job! I got hired on as a freelance artist for a company called FilmScape Productions. My title is Animator, Cinematographer, and Editor. So I basically get to do it all! Animate, film, and edit, all the things I've been growing up doing! I just got back from a shoot in New York City, which was an amazing adventure. I got to shoot for a company called Monster Media, and they were hired on by Cannon cameras for events on the street all week. It was such a cool opportunity to be able to travel for my job. Although my title is animator, I've mostly been editing for all this time. I'll be posting an editing reel on my website soon, so be on the look out for that!

I am so pumped to start Animation Mentor again in a few weeks. I will be on class four, which is introduction to acting. It's going to be pretty different from all my mechanics classes, and a lot of work. But my mentor for this class is named David Tart and he used to work for Pixar! You can see his imdb here http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0850716/ I'm sad to say I didn't get around to fixing most of my animations in these past few months while taking a break. I've been focusing on learning After Effects, and more about cameras for work. Which put a huge set back in brushing up my 3d skills. But at least I've been doing some 2d motion graphics stuff with work! But I also found out that I get to go on a trip to San Francisco next April. So hopefully my new mentor knows a person there that can give me a tour of Pixar. That would be my life dream. Just to even enter their campus. Fingers crossed!!

Since I've already talked so much about myself which is highly unordinary, and it's just me killing time avoiding fixing up my resume, here's the most recent art that I've done lately! This took me a good few months to paint. One of hte biggest projects I've done yet. My boyfriend wanted me to make him a personalized cooler, because all of his friends got some made for them. I volunteered for it not having a clue how much work it would be. You first had to sand down the entire thing, just to get the paint to stick. Then I primed it all with spray paint, painted each and every side of the cooler (2 months for that job alone because I'm such a perfectionist) and then seal it all with mod podge and more sealant spray. Holy cow was it rough. But I finally got it done! Each side has to do with sports, and his favorite Florida teams. He has a lot of them clearly. I could totally start a business with these coolers haha.

I wish you all some happy holidays! And I'll be back soon with more Animation Mentor assignments!
