Ember's embers!

So since animation is currently done for SIGGRAPH, I have been helping out in the creation of the embers that will emit from Ember's body throughout the entire film, and they're looking pretty cool.  Turns out effects work is a whole lot of guessing, yet still enjoyable.  All things appear to be running smoothly as we approach our deadline, so fingers crossed!

Animation Deadline

Today's the day!  We finally finished all the animation for the film and I am beyond excited!  Everyone on the animation team really stepped it up these last few weeks and spent quite a few long nights pushing out some great animation.  I can't wait to see all of the shots rendered and looking beautiful!  March 5th is the SIGGRAPH deadline and I'm proud of our team for actually being able to reach that goal. :D  I can't wait until the premiere to show everyone our film, but for now, here's a screen shot of one of the shots I animated!
