If you haven't heard of Blur Studios yet, you probably should have. These guys do phenomenal work doing full CG trailers for video games. They're probably most well known for their trailers promoting the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic. They've done three so far, with the most recent being released at E3 today. I haven't seen Star Wars look this cool in a long time. Enjoy!
Here's the trailer they did last year for E3.
And this is the first trailer they did for E3 back in 200... Continue reading ...

I am very proud to announce that I've just been accepted into the Animation Apprenticeship program at Rhythm and Hues in El Segundo, California! Words can't express just how pumped I am right now :)

Something I struggled with a lot in school was getting my animation done on
time (or even at all). It seemed like no matter how hard I worked,
none of my shots were ever “finished.” I started to dread those
looming deadlines and in the process caused myself a lot of
unnecessary stress and anxiety. Which led to more procrastination.
Which led to more unfinished work. It got so bad during school that
when I finally did graduate, I didn't have a whole lot of animation
that showed off how ... Continue reading ...

Well, it's official now: I'm headed back to Animation Mentor. I get to take a "refresher" course for 12 weeks while getting to learn about an area of animation that I could really use some work in: polishing. I'm really looking forward to being an active part of the community again after working in a bit of a bubble for close to a year now. It's really contagious to see so many people so excited about animation in one place. You really can't do any of this work without that kind of passi... Continue reading ...

Holy cow! New clips from the upcoming Sylvain Chomet film "The Illusionist". Sylvain Chomet was also the director of "The Triplets of Belleville" so if you've seen that film, The Illusionist has his style written all over it. I can't even start to describe how awesome these are...so I won't! Enjoy!
This one has to be my favorite clip. Chomet’s films have a such great knack for caricature. Not just caricatured drawings, but caricatured movement and acting too. I can’t get enou... Continue reading ...
Here's something I posted on the Animation Mentor forums a few months back. I don't really consider myself someone who's in a position to be doling out animation advice to anyone, but these are a handful of tips that I've come across over the years that have helped me. I can't really take credit for most of this advice, since I probably just read a lot of it somewhere else. I don't mean to take credit for someone else's ideas, I just can't remember who they belong to now. Anyway, I hope t... Continue reading ...
