Animation Project #19,20,21

So this past week, drove all the way up to San Francisco for the Game Developer Conference which took 6-7 hours. I had a pretty good time there but I mainly went there to meet with Riot Games. I actually got a rejection letter from them the day before for their summer internship. I wanted to go so I could show the actual animators my demo reel and get their thoughts and opinions on it. Alex and Tomas literally spent 30 minutes with my critiquing every shot on my demo reel. It was awesome. I've learned so much and I know what I need to focus on next.

Really wished that I could've gotten the internship though because I've grown so much and I am confident that I would have been ready by summer. It sucks being a student because its so hard to get in this game industry. Internships is really all I got, and it feels like even those are harder to get into. I'm still stumped on what sort of skill level they require. Still got a few more internships to hear back from.

Here's the animation projects I've been working on that I've added to my demo reel.

#19

#20

#21

#21 was a Hyuna's Bubble Pop dance that I did for fun to show to Riot since I know they love dances. They have awesome ones for every one of their characters.

We are coming up on our last week at iAnimate. Working on our finisher move. I was so scared of this assignment because it's my first time working with two characters at once. But after I started, it wasn't so bad. I'm really really happy with how it turned out. Things are starting click. I'm starting to understand weight, balance, and timing. It's amazing to see how far I've come.

Thank god it's spring break this week, I get so much time to animate! So after this finisher, I'm working on another Lisa attack that's more game oriented, and gonna work on a few more finishers cause they are just so fun to do. So here's what I got. Done in 2 days.

Will be rendering this tonight and slap it on my demo reel :)

Until next time... working my ass off. Keys and breakdowns all day everyday! Also just signed up for another online animation training class later this fall, focused on feature animation. I cannot wait! I wasn't able to do this months 11SC competition because I had no time. But I really need to start practicing again. Disney's internship deadline is coming up soon.... Maybe I can do ONE super amazing shot to send in.
