This purpose of this blog is to keep track of my animation studies.
I'm currently studying a variety of topics related to drawing,animation,film etc.
My commitment has increased massively since attending Animex this year and so I wanted to document my progress.
Some of things i'm doing at the moment...
1, Listening to the animation podcast everyday. Inspiring stuff from giants of animation.
2, Sketching. Using Walt Stanchfield notes as a guide (Books on order!)
3, Reading Animation Crash course by Eric Goldberg. Just got the book, looks brilliant.
4, Watching Richard williams 'Animators survival kit animated' dvds. Watched once already but gonna rewatch multiple time.
5, Watching AFI top 100 movies (See Blog) Watched great Chaplin stuff this week!
6, Working on my first animated short. (see Blog)
7, Reading 'The Illusion of Life' by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson but this time watching the animation as i go. Therefore as a movie/short mentioned I then watch/study it.
