Work, Work and more Work!

Well, the whole past weekend and this week have certainly kept me busy! This weekend will be a busy one as well. Things have been so hectic lately due to finishing up projects for class, packing and moving to a new apartment, and working on individual projects. This weekend will also consist of me rendering out some of my animation from my Character Animation class since me and a select few people will be showing our animation to a very important visitor to the school. He's a long time friend of my 2D animation teacher Sam and is very high up on the ladder for Walt Disney. I'm looking forward to showing my stuff and getting more critiques! I'm hoping that things will go well and i'll be able to talk to him for a little bit. So anyways, that's new stuff that's going on.

Another thing, GO SEE IRON MAN!! Robert Downey Jr. does a fantastic job of acting and really portraying the character. It has some funny parts in it, and it's not as cheesy as spiderman is. It has a more serious tone to it and it shows the people took special care as to make everything as believable as possible. All I can say is that I enjoyed the movie! Another movie to see is 3:10 to Yuma. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest watching that as well. It has very good character development, etc etc. Russel Crowe and Christian Bale do an excellent job and carry the movie very well.

I decided since I have a smaller picture of my final project for this month, i'll post it on here. This was for my Art Creation for Games class. It involved me building models, laying out UV's, texturing the scene, and once I placed everything into the Unreal 3 editor, I put lights in the scene. If it turns out that the teachers like it, then they will be putting it on the computers for the behind the scenes tour at Full Sail! So I hope that mine gets chosen! Also, we are the test pilot class for the new Unreal 3 Level editor so they were a little more lax on us and let us pick our projects. From now on though, they are going to make people choose from a list of projects instead of doing their own. We were lucky that we got to do our own. I'm happy for that! Anyways, let me know what you guys think or what you don't think. Take care...Keep Moving Forward!!
