Initially, I was thinking they could critique my demo reel but they don't want demo reels or short films. They want just one assignment and all of my assignments are like 2-5 seconds long. I don't want to show that to the person critiquing my work which I heard will be Ted Ty (he teaches the WS7 on the feature side of iA). He will probably know I attend iA due to the rigs I used and I don't want to waste his time when I could just ask my own mentors for a critique on my game related animations.
So, with 3 days left until the due date, I decided to work on my very first acting shot. I have no experience in acting as well as facial acting. I chose to do this month's 11 Second Club dialogue that way I could enter the competition and see how I do. I was very excited to do this because I really needed an acting shot on my demo reel. The DreamCrit finally gave me the push that I needed to actually do this. I always thought it was too hard and just wanted to focus on game animation. I mean, it definitely was hard, but do-able.
But after doing this, I found out that I quite enjoy it... a lot. I am REALLY happy with the results that I got from 3 days. I have my instructors at school to thank for that. They were all really helpful and I've learned so much from them. Here it is.
So after I get the critique from DreamWorks and my instructors, I will be fixing it up even further and submitting it. I'm going to do these 11SC competitions every month now to get practice.
Also here's a creature spawn from 1-2 weeks ago that I'm still working on as well as a boss spawn.
I've been SOOOO busy and its going to be like that for the rest of the semester. I'm loving every moment of it though. Never been so motivated, confident, and happy. I'm making a lot of progress and it feels so great.
So nervous and excited for DreamWorks tomorrow! It's going to be a great experience.
