Introduction.

Hi everyone! This project was originally intended to be a deviantArt journal but they don't allow video uploading, so I ended up deciding for an actual blog. This blog will serve as a progression reel and journal for Animschool and I will ONLY upload assignments after I hand them over for critiqu (those are weekly revisions, so one video/blog entry per week)

The uploads will have the following format:

____________________________________
Title:
Stage: [Blocking / Splining / Polish / Final etc.]
Critique:
Personal Notes: [What I learned, what was hard, my emotional state, etc.)

Little about myself:
I've tried to persue a carreer in 3D animation in two local universities only to find that most professors have no idea what they're talking about and that the university fills you up with non-sensical additional classes which only burn your time up and stop you from improving at the area you should be improving. With this realization I decided to quit university alltogether and found out about online schools and people getting trained by actual working professionals over at Animation Mentor, iAnimate and AnimSchool. I ended up picking AnimSchool (From here on mentioned as 'AS') and this is now my one and only educational activity (aside from teaching myself programming, but that's boring and I won't include it in blog posts)

I've been at the school for only 3 months and one week and I feel my animation has improved to be probably five to ten times as good as it used to be a merely two months ago. I cannot wait to share with you all the next months (actually years) that I have ahead of me over at AS.

I'm currently at trimester #02, which is titled "Body Mechanics", so the stuff you'll see here will all be related to that area.

I hope this comes in handy to aspiring animators and we all learn something from my experience.
