Well I haven't really kept up with this as I first intended to, I guess it comes with being so busy all the time I just don't get around to it.
First off, somewhere between the last post and now, I was given the title of lead animator on our film, along with one other person in our group, and I am just ecstatic!
Also, in the last post I mentioned that the Junior class had presented their stories that they would possibly be working on for the next year and a half. They recently had their final presentation and the two stories were selected, they were all pretty good and I can't wait to see how they end up creating their amazing stories.
On the Ember front, things have been hectic as always. We have come to the end of the fall semester but that definitely doesn't mean we get a break really for the winter holidays. I mean, we technically do have a break, but we will be working like crazy on our animations for our film since we want to get it done by the first or second week of January. Also, since I am one of the lead animators and I have a very short attention span when trying to work from home, I will be going into the studio for the majority of the "break". I am looking forward to it though, seeing as I want to be an animator somewhere in the industry after I graduate, I do enjoy it quite a lot.
Also, we have a few test renders of our film and, if I do say so myself, they are looking quite gorgeous! Our team is full of extremely talented people who know how to make our movie come alive. I'll have to get a copy of some of the frames and post them up here for the world to see, even if the world doesn't look at this blog... :)
