Today I worked on Lipsync for the first 50 frames, I feel that it's a bit too much going on with the corners but I'll tone that down some. Tomorrow is going to be another 50 frames and polishing up some notes for the body.

A post by Wayne Gilbert about why flexibility in the face is important? Good read!!
Alright so when I first started this blog I was posting updates of my own work, but then I just got lazy and stopped. Well a good friend of mine Daniel Harman has motivated me to start back up and treat it as an assignment, that every day I need to post my progress. So starting now there will be a new format in my post's and it will usually start with my shots progress and a little bit of news, I'm pretty excited about doing this and you can also follow Daniel at his blog where he is going to be doing the same thing.
And here is my shot's progress. I mostly worked on the body need to get into face and lip sync right now that shall be next.

Willie Downs is an AM student who has started a project called "Animator Letters Project" what Willie want's to do is collect as many letters from professional animator's encouraging others to not give up and follow their dreams. I think it's a really great project and I thank Willie cause the letters he has received are really inspiring and when you may be feeling down on your work you can go to this site and just get recharged it's an awesome thing.
So I saw Thor the other day and I am not going to ruin it with spoilers, he dies. Just kidding :) Anyway I thought the movie was about 30 mins to long and not very action packed, Although it did have Natalie Portman which kept my attention to the screen and not the wall or the roof, I just felt like it missed opportunities for action. Best part in my mind were a few of the visual effects of the world's and the character Loki was awesome. But yeah enough about my review here is the good stuff!!

A great post by Jim Brown about being stuck in animation and ways of getting out of that funk. A lot of it has helped me but I realized I haven't done some of the stuff since Animation Mentor, like to-do list are huge and they have helped me get on track every time. So check out his post really helpful.
